Good Day at Union Hills GC

Got an early tee time & played with other gentlemen Pace of play was Fairways in reasonable shape rough was high in some spots but was inconsistent One thing that bothered me is the lack of course politeness by the ground crew They would not stop working or running their machines when we were getting ready to tee off. Almost hit one guy who was working on a sprinkler in the fairway. This type of behavior takes away from one's concentration & play. Green were in nice shape but are a bit slower then they should be. This course could be amazing with a little work and education of the on course staff.

Nice course, Friendly staff but so/so greens

I have played here a number of times in the past however I was disappointed in the shape of the greens. When you hit a putt it would jump. The greens were slow.

Quick round at Encanto GC

I play here often due to its location, course conditions and the wonderful staff. The Club House team is always friendly , up beat and attentive. Played in just over three hours as there was only two of us and we moved along very quickly. The greens are true and roll nicely. Being a senior golfer, I find the last four holes on the back nine to be a bit long which is always a challenge for me. My only major compliant about this course are the sand traps. This course is owned by the City of Phoenix so I am sure there are budget issues involved when course improvements are made. But in my opinion the sand traps should have good sand in them. Again my opinion but instead of spending thousands of dollars on new paving for the parking lots the sand traps should have been addressed first; after all we do not play golf in the parking lot. Other then the sand trap for me I really enjoy playing golf at Encanto GC.

A Great saturday afternoon on the a great course

This course is located approximately an hour and fifteen minutes from my resistance in the Phoenix area and I must say well worth the drive. The greens were fast but true, the fairways were in excellent condition, the practice area (which is included in the price) was in great shape and well marked for distance. The staff was very professional and seemed genuine when they interacted with you. The cart service was prompt and friendly. I was very impressed with everything about this course and its operation. From the greeting at the drop off area to the completion of my round when they politely asked if we wanted our clubs cleaned the entire experience was amazing. For me personally I found that I needed one more club for the distance from the fairway to the greens. I will definitely play there again and already have recommended it to three of my regular golf buddies.

A Good Day at Union Hoills

I always enjoy playing Union Hills as it is a nice track. For $3.00 you can hit unlimited practice balls which is a very nice feature in my opinion

A Good Day at Ken MacDonald GC

The Pro shop staff were extremely attentive & helpful. My check in was quick and then they asked me if I wanted tee off sooner then my tee time. The carts were in good shape. The course was recently open after being over seeded. The course was in good shape, play was fast, played my round in 3 hours & 15 minutes. Good day on a nice course.

Maryvale GC

the course was in nice shape for the price I paid Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Cart was in very good shape for a public course. Play was a little slow which is expected at a public course. A Marshall would have helped. Again for the money this is a good course to play
