Premature review
How does Encanto ask for a review a week before we play??????????
Encanto no longer priced as a muni
Encanto 18 used to be an affordable golf course for anyone to play regardless of skill level. No frills, nothing fancy, just a nice long and flat muni. While the course has stayed the same, its pricing has not. As one of the few courses truly located in central Phoenix, demand for its services is up and that is reflected in its cost. Summer rates were over $40 to ride and in “winter” those rates are another $20 over that. There are many cheaper and more picturesque courses you can play in the Phoenix area if you’re willing to drive. And drive I will because Encanto just isn’t worth the price of admission any more.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, eduymich. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Encanto Golf Course, and we hope to see you again in the future.

Getting Ready for Overseeding
The course was dry and scalped, being readied for it’s annual overseeding. Though cut short, the grass carpet still allowed the ball to be lofted above the dirt surface, typically providing for a reasonable lie. The greens were firm and had fair speeds. Sand traps had good amounts of sand, though some were more plentiful (making it that much more complicated to exit with this inconsistency). The rough was indeed sparse. Overall pace of play was good (under 4 hours), as was value. I’ll give it another 3-4 weeks before considering to return, allowing for the new grass to mature.
Thanks so much for the great review, TMarcacci. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Encanto Golf Course.
Thought summer was over, but it was 105 degrees
Love the course. I play it about once a year these days. The front nine was very nice and comfortable temperature wise. The starter put me with a single, but that single was only playing nine holes. So on the back nine, I was waiting on a foursome for nine holes and it was 105 degrees in the shade when I finished.
Hello, u314161152812. Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at Encanto Golf Course. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!
Value for money.
The layout is very flat and a bit monotonous but very user friendly. I enjoyed it overall. Pace of play was pretty good ... under 4 hours ... some waiting but nothing too excessive. Good value for money.

Awesome Day On Green Grass
This course is in exceptionally good shape for any time of year, let alone after a scorching summer. Our pace was slowed by the four in front of us who may have been more interested in watching YouTube clips than keeping their cart off the green. Marshal was aware of their shenanigans, but only commented to us that they wouldn’t get away with having their carts so close (at least twice we watched them drive between the trap and the pin!) once the new GPS carts arrive next week. Do your job and inform the ones damaging the course and holding up play, not the three behind them!
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Encanto Golf Course.

Beverage cart
The beverage cart came around when I was on the 4th hole and didn’t need anything. Then I never saw it again.
We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced with our beverage cart service. We appreciate your feedback and will work to ensure better visibility and timing of our cart in the future. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Beachy!!
All was great our 1st time here and we will be back but hope the greens are less sandy yes we came to the realization that putts were not gunna roll the way we wanted so gummies were a real thing lol ordered some food on the 9th hole where we saw the sign to do so but I had to wait on it and that allowed the player behind us to catch up! So we had to play faster to get a head and have a comfortable seperation. The course is very flat and wide so makes for an easy day! I like a bit more character! The carts are 100% tho Cave Creek get your hands on these when your lease is up!!!
Thank you for taking the time to review us, FrenchieLodge. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Encanto Golf Course thanks you!
Nice early start!
Nice flat course but certainly challenging.
I lost one ball but most are well retrievable.

Hot temps, but good golf
Had a 8:08 tee time on a Sunday. Checked in 30 minutes early and the club house staff were super friendly. Got my own cart as a single, which was not expected, but is always nice. Was paired with a threesome and there were full groups ahead of us and behind us all morning. The pace of play was good for how packed the course was. Got through in a little over four hours. The course was in great condition, especially since this summer in AZ has been brutally hot and dry. The course was also pretty open, so even when someone sprays some shots off the tee, the ball was quickly found, which helps with pace of play. Overall great experience and will be back as you can’t beat the price.
Npresto215, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Encanto Golf Course.
