Encanterra has been named among the Top 10 New Private Courses in the U.S. by GOLF Magazine’s panel of golf course design and architecture experts. The announcement was made in the publication’s January 2009 issue.
GOLF Magazine’s ranking panel is comprised of 100 members, representing 15 countries. They include major-championship winners, Ryder Cup players, architects, leading amateurs, journalists and a cadre of nearly a dozen course connoisseurs who've had the doggedness to play all Top 100 Courses in the World. There are no set-in-stone criteria for GOLF Magazine panelists. However, they do consider how a course tests the full range of skills, design rhythm, variety, setting and conditioning, among other aspects. Yet, the weighting of these is left to the individual preferences of the publication’s panelists.

The Tom Lehman designed course opened 2 years ago to great accolades, but the clubhouse, which they call La Casa (home in Spanish), made me want to open my wallet and join on the spot.

Hit the road, Jack. If wide-open space is key and bumper-to-bumper traffic cramps your style, the private refuge of Encanterra in the Southeast Valley is the perfect choice for you (and your convertible). The secluded community is positioned between the breathtaking Superstition Mountains and San Tan vistas with open air all around—yet it remains only a short jaunt from the I-60 and 202 freeways. New Homes (ranging from the high-$100,000’s to the mid-$400,000’s) are Shea Green Certified, eco-friendly and energy-efficient; wide open floor plans, close attention to detail and customizable interiors make it easy to see why Trilogy by Shea Homes has such high customer satisfaction ratings. The centerpiece of the property, Encanterra’s 60,000-sq.-ft. La Casa Clubhouse, is designed by world-renowned architect Bing Hu. The resortlike atmosphere will hold the interest of the entire family, boasting three beautiful pools, four amazing restaurants, a signature Tom Lehman golf course, a full-service spa and fitness center, a special event space and courtyards for relaxing.
