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.

Fun

For the price and 9 holes, great course, greens were fast, giving it a 4 because the course was wet.

Great little executive course

Great value, pace was a bit slow, and greens could’ve been quicker, but for this price this time of year in az, you can’t beat it

Love the Fairways

The fairways are green and lush. Out side the fairways are a little hard but manageable. I love golfing there to help me with my short game.

I love this course

I love playing the Encanto 9. It is the perfect size for my busy schedule and is wonderful on the pocket book as well. Because the cost to play here is so reasonable, I can afford to play more often. Additionally, each time I have been paired up with other players. they all have been really nice guys and fun to play with. It's always a great experience.

First Time At Course

Enjoyed my first time here. Loved I was allowed to go out by myself for a round and finish in around an hour.

Appreciate there were course greenskeepers, working on the course but there was one on nearly every hole which wasn't quite ideal.

Will be frequenting this course often to work on my short game.
