About Fred Enke Golf Course

Fred Enke Golf Course is a City of Tucson municipal course on the southeast side, designed by Fred Enke himself — a prominent Arizona golf figure who also served as the University of Arizona's basketball coach for 24 years. The course opened in 1972 and occupies desert foothills terrain near the Rincon and Santa Rita mountain ranges, with saguaro cacti, palo verde trees, and desert washes creating a genuine Sonoran Desert playing experience. The layout is considerably more rugged and hilly than Tucson's other municipal courses, with elevation changes and forced carries that make it the most challenging of the city's public offerings. It is a beloved local course with competitive conditions and a loyal following.

History

Fred Enke Golf Course opened in 1972 and was designed by the course's namesake, Fred Enke, who was both a golf course designer and one of Arizona's most prominent sports figures. Enke coached the University of Arizona basketball team from 1925 to 1961, and his golf course design work produced several influential Arizona layouts. The course has been a City of Tucson municipal staple for over 50 years.

Serious Tucson public-course golfers who want a genuine desert challenge with elevation and character at a municipal price point.
