Encanto Golf Course
Played On 11/16/2019Old School beaut
I have to put a plug in for this golf course, there have been major positive changes. This is a traditional old school layout, another Billy Bell design (he of Papago, Torrey Pines, etc.) dating from 1936. It is a unique setting in the center of Phoenix and historical neighborhoods. Beautiful historic homes and downtown high rises are some of the views from the course.
It is a great course to walk and very playable. The greens are the defense here, if you get out of position it's pretty much a 3-putt waiting to happen. The course is in the best condition I have seen it in 20+ years. And they are finally in the process of refurbishing the bunkers, the new ones are great, better than many of the upscale resort courses.
They have completely remodeled the restaurant and bathrooms and they are both first rate. The value is exceptional for the current product, go have a throwback day!

This is one of the very best courses in AZ. It was originally conceived as an upscale private club that was not feasible as such at the time, to our benefit. The course is designed for walking and laid out such that you can't see another hole from the one you are playing. Along with no development around the course, this provides an ambience rarely found on golf courses in the southwest. The course is very challenging and you need to think your way around it. The greens are fast and difficult, you need to be in position to score on them. Have fun!
