Surprisingly nice course

I purchased the Phoenix Card and get a pretty good rate for walking the course. Encanto is a good place to golf, not too long and somewhat challenging.

Disappointed

For the money I paid. Almost 70.00. It was not worth playing there. Greats had been plugged. Dead patches in some of the greens. Very disappointed. That’s for sure.

Good course, slow play

Course conditions very good. Greens, bunkers, and fairways excellent. Some hard pack around greens - carts drive too close in some areas. All those good things negated some by slow pace of play. 4:45 round, waiting nearly every tee.

Perfect weather
Used cart

This course has a lot of holes running east and west with the sun making it difficult to follow the flight of the ball,

This is the first time I played golf since the first of November and it felt to play. I can't wait to get back on the course and see if I can improve my game. The course was in tremendous condition and the ball was rolling out quite nicely. My score for 18 holes was 74 and that's not to bad for an 86 year old fellow.
