Arizona Biltmore Golf Club - Links Course

I’ve lived in the valley for 50+ years. I’ve played this course since I moved here I’ve seen the course take no pride in upgrading the links course it’s been the same for the past 25 years. The addition of the new pro shop is nice, but does not add to the quality of play or course conditions and the people working in it on January 1, 2024 were extremely rude and in the old pro shop they were always rude, unsocial and felt like they were entitled to something other than serving guests. Cart services does a great job, but the overall course conditions have never been improved upon bunkers rebuilt, greens rebuilt, new ew tea boxes installed. However, the corporate greed continues in the green fees, continued to get absurd for an executive course that’s average at best. If it wasn’t for the local Phoenicians, who paid play this course around, especially in the summer, both courses would be bulldozed and townhomes built and that’s a fact. There is no discounts or other considerations given to the locals. There should be a local discount rate just like Torrey Pines does for the residence of San Diego.

Overall it’s a links course with some nice signatures holes with views and a few that were just ok. The greens were really slow and some bare areas and the T boxes need some work along with bunkers with no sand. The fairways were in good shape though and rough was fair. The club house is non existent so forget about getting a cup of coffee etc. Final thought is that it was worth the flash deal price after that I would skip it.

I decided to play at the last minute and the proximity of Biltmore made it the obvious choice.

The staff was very friendly and the new dogs they are building looks great. I played the links course, which was serviceable but nothing to write home about and definitely overpriced for what it is.

Most of the greens are in pretty bad shape, tee boxes were hit or miss. All of the fairways were in great shape.

Nice little courser but there are much better values out there for the same quality.

The course was in great condition, really green grass, the greens in great condition. Awesome for this time of year.

We paid approx $100 each to play this course which was essentially a dry, dusty dead track. The greens were fine but the tee boxes and fairways were dead. We weren’t warned that it was the last day before overseeing, and as Canadians visiting, we had no idea how dead a course could be. We should have been told that the course had not yet been over seeded and was in rough shape so we could decide if we wanted to fork over that much money.

horrible greens & fairways. How could you actually charge $100

Horrible. Fairways and greens. A complete goat ranch and charging $100 to play. Never again.

Teed off in the early afternoon, and after 4 hours had only finished 14 holes. Every hole was backed up and no one was out on the course to moderate pace of play. We had to stop after 16 holes due to darkness. At the clubhouse, had to just leave the cart as no one was left to meet us.

They are charging $75 + per round for a twilight round. This is currently a $40 round at best. Felt like I was playing a city muni course not a resort course.

Greens are patchy. Tee boxes are bumpy and beaten up. Course layout isn’t great either. Tips are only 6300yrds.

I’ll say the fairways were in solid condition.

They are renovating the other course so there is no excuse for the conditions to be this bad.

This was a decent course.

There was a lot of waiting at each tee with the way they book tee times.

We saw a refreshment cart only once the entire time.

Played the links course, the other was closed for Reno and/or overseen. Course was in good condition prior to overseed but it was obvious that overseed shutdown was coming. Practice putting and range were also closed. Multiple construction projects were ongoing too. Premiere facility that was worth the price.

The Biltmore seems much more focused on the refurb of the Adobe course and the new buildings than keeping the course they have open in good shape. Greens were rough, fairways were thin and patchy. Some of the tee boxes were hard as a rock. I’ve played the Adobe course before and felt like the conditions were pretty good, this was a different story.
