Good condition, amenities lacking

Course was in great shape, remodeled restaurant and pro shop a plus. But outside seating is confined to two ratty picnic tables with no shade. Carts have no beverage coolers and staff has to cram drinks in plastic bags with ice. Lame. Need a decent patio setup off the putting green and/or across from the driving range, with smoking and non-smoking sections.

I was actually surprised at the conditions of the course

After paying the price I paid I didn’t expect it to be the way it was. It was actually well worth it and honestly maybe underpriced. The fairways were good, tee boxes were great, and the greens were the biggest surprise. Minus the speed the we’re actually not bad. I would have paid more to play. I tee off at 10:30am and was done and in my car at 12:45pm. Had to play through a 3-some and a single at the turn. I enjoyed my round at Encanto and would recommend it to other golfers looking for a fun course to play in the current summer conditions.

Lots of open space, greens so so

If you spray a driver off the tee you're in luck, there are only a couple of holes where that could be a problem. Long and wrong is okay on most holes other than the par 3s. Some of the par 3s are fairly long and challenging from the back tees. The greens were just average condition but not horrible. Good place to play if you haven't been out for a while and your game is a bit off.

Good beginners course

It's a flat course with few penalty areas and only the minimal greenside bunkers; crusty sand. Greens and fairways are in very good condition. Distance markers were different to locate if they existed. Carts in fair condition. Order by mobile phone at 8th tee what you want at the turn. Restrooms are adequate but need work.
