Encanto Nine Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
The Encanto Nine Golf Course lies to the west of Encanto Park, and offers an executive-length golf course perfect for anyone who seeks a fast-and-loose round, with tee times passed out first-come-first-served. About an hour and a half is usually all it takes to play through the golf course.
The Encanto Nine Golf Course sits in the heart of Phoenix, and claims the honor of being the third-oldest golf course in Arizona and features a casual vibe, perhaps due in part to the foliage. Abundant natural palms line the golf course, and between them golfers can catch beautiful glimpses of downtown Phoenix. The course was designed by William P. Bell.

Well maintained course to refine your game
It's an excellent course for beginners or those looking to work on their short game. There are three Par 4's that I used my driver on, so you get some work with your big clubs as well, which makes this an excellent course to learn and practice on.
It's a straight approach on most greens, but the greens themselves are not all straight putts. Secondly, the greens are in excellent condition.
For $11 and still trying to refine my game, this course is perfect.
One Note: GolfNow's directions send you to the pro shop of the big course. The Encanto 9 is off Encanto Rd. around the corner from the big course's pro shop.
Nice little getaway from a crazy work week
If you are one of those golf purists who says golf has to involve everyone wearing pants and a polo, Encanto is not for you. If you're looking to find a place to get in a quick 9 on a course close to downtown Phoenix with surprisingly great greens and fairways, then give Encanto a shot. I've played $24 rounds before....and never had anything in this good of condition.
Wonderful experience
Staff very accommodating and friendly, couldn’t do enough for us. Tipping refused as per policy. Wide fairways, no water, no sand, fun course. Great electronics on the cart. Wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing, 2-some round. Thank you! .
Fun Morning
Had a good time. Paired with another couple and we ended up playing another 9. I think the 9 hole course is in better shap than the 18. Greens were smooth and true. We were making some pretty long putts. Will come back again.
Great little course for the money!
Great little course! Real good to brush up on your short game!
Great to practice your short game!!
What a hidden gem. First time playing, and it won’t be my last. This is a fantastic course for the money, especially when golf prices in Phoenix are outrageous to say the least.. pace of play was perfect.
It was a great opportunity to use clubs that I typically don’t use and to practice my short game. Can’t wait to go back.
Fun and Relaxing Course
Course was in great shape. $4 beers from the City is a good deal.
Always a great day to be golfing
Course was in nice shape, especially for the cost at this time of year in Arizona. Greens probably could've been faster, and I would have liked the chance to hit a few balls, but the driving range is only accessible from the 18 hole course. Pace of play could have been better, but for walking it really wasn't an issue, and every one was extremely cordial and laid back.
Well Kept
We enjoyed our round at Encanto 9. Laid back atmosphere. Tees/Fairways/Greens were all in great condition (especially after rains)
Nice Walk
Encanto 9 was a really nice course and a great value if you like to walk. We have played 6 other 9 hole courses in our 2 weeks here and I liked Encanto the best
