I was pleasantly surprised how nice and fun this course is. After reading about the city threatening to close this course, and hearing the negative opinions from other golfers. I really expected the worst. The course is in great shape, the greens are in tremendous shape. Plus the layout of this course is just fun. They have a decent practice facility, the staff is very friendly. If I had anything negative to say, it would be one of my pet peave. The tee box needs to be flattened out. Again, it was a great day of golf. read more

This course was horrible and a lot of slow golfers this course also needs a lot of work on the cart paths and there are to many grumpy old men do not recommend wasting your money here read more

This course sucks so bad every hole is right next to each other and you have to hit a somebody every hole because of it. Every hole is the same but the cart path is dirt so you can drift read more

Yes I've golfed most of the courses in Tucson and this has to be one of my top 3 for sure highly recommend!

Great staff but the city is over charging residents for this time of year. It used to be that when May hit the prices dropped because the city gouged the snow birds all winter. Now they are gouging residents. I mean seriously, greens are sanded, dirt in most cases, and fairways are rock hard with some bermuda in patches and they are still hitting us with $40.00 green fees. Just close the courses because if they keep over charging in dead summer they will be closing anyway. Not to mention the vendor that operates the the driving ranges is sticking it to us big time. A bunch of junk, washed out balls mixed in with balls found on the course. For $9.00 a bucket they should be giving us Pinnacles. read more

A great experience on a very well maintained desert course. The tee boxes, fairways - narrow and challenging - and greens were in great shape. I had heard it was a good, tough course and it lived up to the billing. I will definitely play this course again. read more

Had a good time shooting this course, and luckily a couple joined our twosome, or else I think we would have gotten lost. The layout is interesting, and the way to the next hole unclear to a stranger to the course. Having said that, we got through it fine, and even got to see some wildlife fairly close - a pack of coyotes and some roadrunner. A good time was had at this Tucson muni course. read more

Its a desert golf course with a thin green fairway and danger everwhere but it was overall in decent shape with a straight forward front 9 followed by a challenging back 9. Fun course with decent staff...except for the starter who seemed to be in a daze and did a poor job of pairing my lone single with a twosome that he let off early and then jammed a foursome behind them. I had to drive by the grumpy old guy foursome to introduce myself to the twosome on the ladies tee and as the jammed up 4some were allowed to prematurely loiter at the mens tee I had to tee off from the ladies on that one hole. You'd figure with as much play as this course gets the starter would better contol the waiting area. Proshop was nonexistent but was well run and food counter was fine. Other than the starter it was a good experience. read more

The course is in great shape and so much debris has been cleared out it's great. But the tee selection sites don't fit the average Fred enke golfer and it takes away from the fun and slows down play. For example, no one should have to hit driver on par 3 #11 and then not clear the gulley on #12! The white tees are the most commonly used and the most poorly placed. The beverage gals inside and in the cart are frickin so nice and the best. Awesome practice facility! read more

Went and did a real round today for the first time, I kust say it was a lot of fun and the course is pretty good for our standards in Tucson. The greens are super fast so you have to plan on that, but all in all, given the chance I will be back. If you are a golf snob and need the best of the best to make yourself feel better, then dtay away. But if you are just there to have fun, enjoy the time, it's a good place to go for sure. read more

Great place to relax and hit a few balls. Out in the middle of nowhere. People seem nice. read more

Fred Enke Golf Course - Golf Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This is a review for the driving range. It's about as good as can be expected. It wasn't very busy so there was plenty of room. The range balls are available from a machine and they are pretty good quality. Pro tip: make sure you bring some singles. The option for the small bucket is $4 and ONLY takes singles. I didn't have that many singles so I had to opt for the large basket. That takes $5's and $1's. Other than that there's not much more to say. There's plenty of parking and there was somebody riding around on a cart if you needed any help but other than that they leave you alone. read more

Due to time commitments needed to play a course close to Tucson Airport. This was within 15 mins. It is a city owned course and some TLC is needed. Played with 2 fun gents which helped with the location of the greens. It is target golf and the greens are very undulating. Would try other courses before replaying. read more

My review is for the driving range. Large bucket of balls is $7, pretty standard. The golf balls are excellent quality. We spotted some pro-v's and such in addition to your run of the mill range balls. They also let us rent a full set of left handed clubs for free. The ball dispenser is not manned so you only need cash. This place is much more open and less crowded than Randolph. read more

This review is mainly for Bobby Saavedra the PGA Instructor at Fred Enke. I took five lessons from Bobby and they may have changed my life. My swing is so much better, I am hitting shots like I never have before and it is making the game so much more fun. Is this why people want to retire early to play this game? If you haven't taken lessons with Bobby yet do it, but be warned, you may just quit your job to start your golf career. read more

A nice little Tucson Public course. It looks like it could be better maintained but it gets the job done. The driving range does have some great views of the mountains so you can't be that. The driving range ball dispensers one for small and one for large and bring $1 and $5 bills and exact change. Made that mistake of not having exact change read more

Today was the first, and last, day that I will ever step foot on the Fred Enke golf course. It started off absolutely great being met by Mr. Kelly and him letting me tee off almost an hour before my scheduled tee time. He was so nice and courteous and he should be the manager of this course in my opinion. Then it all went downhill.... First thing that I noticed about this course is that 99.99% of the cart path is just dirt. On a dry day like today it sure does cause a lot of dust. Second thing that I noticed was that the course is in really bad shape. From the tee boxes all the way to the greens; it's just horrible. It is not even the middle of summer yet but they have a lot of dead grass and really really rocky bunkers. I hit into a couple of the bunkers and I just picked my ball up out of them because I was not about to ruin my clubs. I seriously found some rocks the size of golf balls in some bunkers. I might able to deal with the first and second problems. What I cannot deal with is what happened to me at the turn before I started hole #10. I was playing as a single and I ended up catching up to a group of three on hole #5. When we were making the turn before we started on hole #10 some cocky little punk came up and gave us a bunch of attitude saying that I needed to give up my golf cart and hop in the cart with other single player. I asked him who came up with this rule and who was telling me I had to. He said that he was not the boss and that it was just his boss telling him to tell me. I told him to tell his boss no. I teed off on #10 and made it to the green and another gentleman stopped our group and told me the same thing. I stopped play and headed directly to the clubhouse to talk to Mr. Brandt (apparently he is the course manager). Mr. Brandt stated that having single players cart up with other players after play has already started is a normal thing. We went back and forth for a couple minutes but he finally agreed to let us play on as we were. I have been playing at city and private courses in Tucson for many years and this is the first time I have ever heard of this. Not once at any course that I have ever played in Tucson have I read that pairing up singles in one cart is a rule (especially after we already started play). If this is a rule that the city of Tucson is going to implement at their golf courses then they need to have a disclaimer before you book a tee time that states this is the rule. When I booked my tee time, I booked it on the Fred Enke app on my iPhone. It is linked directly to their course and their course booking system. My receipt showed that I paid for green fees and a CART FEE. It did not say that I paid for a SEAT in a cart, it said I paid for a CART. If they were short on carts and they would have asked nicely if we would've minded pairing up, I'm sure we could have accommodated them. The fact that they demanded that we pair up really upset me. Poor management, poor customer service, poor course condition.... just adds up to be a crappy day of golf. For about the same price there are much better options in the Tucson area. I will be telling every single person I golf with about my experience here. I will never return and I suggest you spend your money elsewhere. read more

Loved this golf course. Didn't expect much, but it was challenging and well kept for this middling duffer. Enjoy.

Great course.One of the best military base courses I have ever played. Relatively flat & the Bermuda grass is fairly predictable. Water hazards are a factor only three times in the 18 holes & it's the same lake visited in a slightly different format each time. I love golf courses with views & this one is very, very special. The course is located on the US Air Force Base Davis-Monthan. One of the tenant units of the base is 2704th Air Force Storage & Disposition Group (A/K/A USAF Military Aircraft Storage and Disposition Center), better known as "The Boneyard". This base houses thousands of aircraft that had one time were flown in the service of the United States. From the golf course you will see, C 141s. A 7s, H 53s, B 52s U2s, UH 1D helicopters and many others. I have either flown on board or assembled models of a lot of the aircraft I could see from the golf course. To a child of the Greatest Generation the planes represented everything from the P-51s flown by the Tuskegee Airmen to the C 130s I spent a lot of time in. The course has narrow fairways and does require a bit of accuracy,. If I had known about this course I might joined the Air Force. Not the Army. I will play here again. Roland Nicholson, JR.

This is easily the worst golf course and worst managed golf course in Tucson.we were told the golf course was over seated that was a lie just the greens and the tees were over seated the rest of it is dormant grass or otherwise saying dead no grass.we cheat off at 10:30 we got done at 3:15 that's 4 hours and 50 minutes to play 18 holes they do not have the resources to have a ranger so plan on a long day. After the round we find that the restaurant closes its doors at 3 which means they close the bathrooms at 3 because the bathrooms are locked inside the restroom you think they could at least get an outhouse for those of who play after 10:30 her going to get done after 3 very poorly managed very poorly won't run very poor golf course I have to give it a one-star just to do a review it's not worth it go somewhere else hopefully they'll close this place down. read more

Worst course ever. I downloaded this app simply to warn people not to play here. Goat ranch, construction site, golf course. I couldn't pick which one it was. Should have asked for my money back for false advertisement. read more

Slow players, slow golf shop, barely any service on the course, and when we tried to have lunch at 2:30 on a Tuesday, we were told they close at 2??? Can't imagine why the municipal courses all are closing. Sucky experience all around. We will certainly go to a reasonably priced semi private course next time, at least the amenities are decent. read more

I decided to review this course after playing because one review was a slam and the other was old and from a first-time golfer. This is the most difficult of the Tucson city courses. It is a little bit of a target course with some greens up on a bit of a plateau and some ringed by rocks so that you can't run a ball up onto the green. Also some blind shots and desert carries. There's a wash that runs across some of the fairways that you need to carry. If they sell a yardage book it would be a worthwhile investment as the cards have no maps and yardage markers are almost non-existent on the course. There were lots of round purple sprinkler heads down the middle of the fairways but we never figured out what they represented! You could find a red stake on the sides of most fairways so at least you knew where 100 yards was. This course doesn't overseed on the normal schedule. That's good if you don't want to have to stay on the cart path like other courses in the fall. That said, the fairways have plenty of grass on them, it's not hardpan, but it's just not green. The tee boxes and greens are green and in good condition. Also the range and practice area. Really nice, large putting and chipping area. The cartpaths are not really paved. You drive on kind of dirt dusty paths. Sometimes right down into the sand in the washes so you fell a little like you are four wheeling' The course has interesting, well designed holes. Easy to get to from the east side of Tucson, Vail or Green Valley and it's really close to Davis Montham Air Force Base. I normally book discount tee times, and if this course were ten dollars or more less than the resort courses, I would consider it a good value but it is not comparable to El Conquistador, Vistoso, Starr Pass if the price were the same or even close. read more

OB golf has done a great job restoring this well designed track. Need some work on the bunkers, but otherwise outstanding. Only tees and greens over seeded, so fairways brown in the winter, but playing surfaces still fine. Cart paths are gravel, so if u don't walk u will have a bumpy ride read more
