From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by a fully stocked snack station with proper instructions of the simulator bay. Because I was not here to golf, the word "karaoke" on the screen immediately caught my attention LOL (I can't wait to come back. Please let me know when I can sing my lungs out without being judged)! An hour flew by, I was kinda sad that I had to leave the comfortable recliner. The WiFi speed was great, so I was able to get some work done while my husband enjoyed his time at the bay and analyzed his swings. Overall, the place is so well maintained from the lobby to the bay to the restrooms (cleanliness of public restrooms is important to me). With what it offers, the price is very reasonable. If it's not yet a big hit in Tempe, I know it'll become one very soon once more people find out about it!

Best 9 hole course in Phoenix imo…read more Pros: - least expensive course in Phoenix that has actually decent grass. - easy and fast tee times or walk on - they have some par 4 holes that require wood and there are two holes you can break out the driver. - beautiful Phoenix weather and vibe with mountains in the background - the coldest water fountain on earth is at the 4th/7th hole. If you're playing in the summer, you're going to want a water refill right about here. Ice cold filtered water, better than my fridge! I always walk but if you want a cart be aware they don't have that many and can run out. They have a practice green but if you want a driving range you'll need to go a block up the street to encanto 18. Greens are decently maintained. Most holes are fairly straight; not a ton of obstacles or turns. If you are terrible at golf like I am, this offers plenty of challenge. Longest hole is about 360 if I recall correctly. No water. Only one or two bunkers on the whole course that I remember. No cart service that I recall. So you'll want to bring drinks/snacks along with you. But look, if you want a good, quick, cheap round of 9 at a good course with decent grass, there are few better options on the entire planet. I love Encanto 9 and highly recommend it for the casual golfer. Prices are very low. During summer they can be crazy low. (Like $9 sometimes). You can play another round for $5 if I recall, any time of year. You can go before work in the morning and get 9 in. During the week there aren't too many people there. I mean it's full but not packed. You can often just walk on with no tee time. Service is friendly. Clubhouse is adequate. They have a great water fountain with sonic style ice that I love. No restaurant or bar. They have a fridge with drinks but nothing fancy at all. Kirov coffee and microwaveable snacks. But you're not coming for the food, you're coming for the sub-$20 round of 9 in an hour on good grass.

Decent seating outside as well.

We thought the pace of play was good on an October morning as we got out before a ladies league. The staff is very nice and surprisingly remembered us when I called for only the second booking in recent time. Also the guys who take your clubs and put them on a cart for you are very friendly and clean them as they unload them after your round. The cafe has quite a few options for food and drinks. I'd like to eat there if my fellow golfers weren't intent on somewhere else. Overall, Continental is one of my favorite more reasonable courses in the area.

First time golfing ever in my life as a 41 year old woman! Had a great time with family but the…read morecart girl really put a damper on our experience. She could not have been more rude. She didn't say one word to us. And she seemed completely inconvenienced by us ordering drinks after we had to drive over to her to get them bc she was just sitting under a tree on her phone instead of driving around to be hospitable and actually do her job. We asked if she had chips and she opens her cabinet and says nothing. Another woman asked if she had water and she said no. How do you not have water? And to not go and grab some for your guests is wild. Also not trying to body shame but her one piece romper was very unflattering and she looked like she had just rolled out of bed. I probably would never come here again bc of her. Get a new cart girl.

AZ Sun Devils play or practice there as there was some of their logo gear on sale.

One of the worst courses I've ever played. Most importantly, it is poorly maintained. Fairways are…read moremostly wide but mowed to the length of second cut on most courses. Rough so thick that you lose ball 5 yards off the fairway. The course is not lush and green like I pictured courses in Costs Rica to be. The layout isn't much better. Almost no water hazards and just a handful of sand traps on the whole course. The greens are extremely small on every hole. No beverage service on the course. The pro shop was like the driving range shop in the movie "Tin Cup." In fact, the course resembles the driving range from the same movie. The driving range is like a Texas cow pasture. $150 green fees was the icing on the cake.

We moved to North Scottsdale in late 2020... an important step in our long term retirement plan…read more Having lived in Arizona in the past, and given our children attended the University of Arizona, we were incredibly confident that the Desert was the dream destination for our family. We were incredibly excited about the lifestyle... i.e. the weather and abundant sunshine, the hiking / golfing/ outdoors sports, the art scene, amazing restaurants, spa experiences, the wildlife, and the inviting culture that fosters new connections and wonderful friendships. The cherry on top however has been our experience at Troon Country Club (TCC)! Shortly after arriving in Scottsdale, we began meeting neighbors who were members of TCC. They were so effusive in their praise of the club: the members, the culture, the incredibly beautiful and challenging (but fair) golf course, the racquet sports, the social scene, on and on! We quickly realized we needed to learn more about this special place. Fast forward 3 years, and TCC has become an essential and incredible element of our lives here in North Scottsdale. The golf experience is incredible! Having experienced so many of the best golf destinations around the country (and globe), we pinch ourselves daily that we get to enjoy this wonderful Tom Weiskopf designed gem. I can't imagine ever getting bored with this challenging track. Beyond Golf, our club has very modern facilities for Tennis, Pickle Ball, Bocce, Gym/Fitness/Wellness, and Swimming (along with a great fitness training and physical therapy staff). Everything you need to stay active, healthy, and fully engaged. The social scene at Troon CC is also bustling and always evolving. A great culinary set up with two great restaurants and fun events... including live music. A fun list of activities including wine tasting, card games, local group excursions, and celebrations of holidays. Ofcourse, any country club is only as good as its members, and yes... it's team! We are incredibly fortunate to have a great team at TCC... across the board. They are very professional, super engaging, and committed to taking great care of our members. Our experiences day in/day out are highly personalized, efficient, and simply nice. Having shared all of these great attributes, I'm most grateful for our TCC community and family. We're incredibly fortuante to have attracted great people! Authentically friendly, grounded / humble, fun, and interesting... with a nice diverse mix of backgrounds/experiences. Our club also has a deep commitment to philanthropy and caring for our team and community. After four years in the Valley, our best friendships have been developed at our club. :-)). I could go on and on, but hopefully you can feel my passion and joy in being a member of this special club and community.

The two outdoor pools are heated during the winter months, which results in a higher seasonal monthly membership fee until the spring. Downsides: 1) aging facilities - the swimsuit centrifuge and showers in the men's locker room are barely working, 2) frequent cancellations of swim hours due to hosting meets, construction, holidays etc, and 3) lack of parking - the lot is often completely full.

Yes, there were some minor brown patches on the fairways but nothing major. The views from hole number 10 mens black tee box is amazing. After this, all my focus totally got shifted to the beautiful Phoenix Mountain preserve. LOL. Price: Ok, I really don't get any commission for mentioning teeoff.com but I couldn't resist as I find so many good golf deals. Cooler on cart: TWO! Enough room for bottle waters and neck cooling towels. Ice machine: starter area. Comfort station: Both front 9 and back 9 have very CLEAN bathroom, not the portable. A+ in this department. Note: The logistics between the course and the bag drop / checkin 'pro shop' area is not that great. If this is your first golf trip to Lookout Mountain, the entrance for bag drop and checking in is at the Point in Tyme restaurant. Do not go to the golf course directly. Otherwise, you will need at least another 8 minutes to turn around and head back to the top, depending on incoming traffic. Or, 10 to 15 minutes walk/trek uphill, roughly par 4 distance. Background: I am an avid golfer. I do not have the distance but I hit straight and on the fairway 99.9% of the time. And I have a solid short game. My HCP is between 30 and 35. I review basic requirements from a golf course which I believe most lady golfers can appreciate: esthetic, character, and female friendliness.
