Arizona Biltmore Golf Club - Links Course

We played Biltmore 2 weeks in a row. The first week we were a 2 some on the estates in the middle of several 4 somes so we expected to be waiting to a certain extent (did not expect a hour round). This week it was all 4 somes on the links course and the problem was worse. On top of the pace we had a group of 3 behind us using us for target practice. We expressed our sincere apologies for holding them up but explained there really was no way for us to play faster while we were sitting on the tee box of a par 3 with 4 groups. They continued the practice until they finally hit one of us on hole 15. They then backed off and did not get near us for the last 4 holes (again a 5 hour round). This is a great facility with very nice courses but with the pace of play we experienced and seemingly no effort from the rangers to try to improve it we will not go back when we can play any number of courses in 4 hours as it should be.

We were never told that fairways were punched recently. Fairways were not in good playing condition! Fairways were mainly hard pan, not acceptable. I had friend in from out of town and not given information about fairway conditions.

Always love coming to the Biltmore courses. This first hard wave of heat pounded it a bit, but I’m sure it’ll bounceback. Greens were slower than normal, but again, it’ll improve.

We’ll be back.

I use dot e member here and miss it more than anything and any course. Chad has been there forever and has always been an amazing to person with great customer service skills. The new restaurant, clubhouse and the redesign of the Adobe course is just a wonderful upgrade. I just love this place and it all always have a special place in my heart.

Save your money, This is a good course when conditions are good. They are not. Very dry, minimal grass. Sanded greens are not consistent speeds. Too much money for the conditions.

Tee Boxes and Greens were much better then Fairways. Lots of scorched fairways with long stretches of no green grass. Course needs water and better care to bring it up to par. Front nine is flat, longer and has 3 doglegs. Back nine has many elevated tees and greens and is more challenging. The $79 fee is too high for what is offered. Better rates and conditions can be found at Starfire, Orange Tree and Talking Stick.

Absolutely love the scenery in this course it’s always in good shape in the food is the best golf course food around I love it

I’ve been wanting to play this course for a long time and was finally able to find a reasonable rate here on Golf Now. Challenging greens and very difficult bunkers on Links course which is the only one I would want to play.! Pro shop is fully stocked with shirts, hats and other swag!

I think some of the reviews about conditions were overblown, or made by locals with higher standards for a course that they're regulars at. Yes, there are some dead patches in fairways, and the greens can roll inconsistent , but overall I enjoyed the layout and scenery of the Links course. Staff was friendly and helpful, overall layout was open with some challenging holes, and pace of play was fine. A few tee boxes were a little tough to get the tee deep enough in the ground, but a little elbow grease was enough to get it through the dirt/clay. Greens probably need some work, some were dry and fast while others were soft and slower.

Started as a single and got paired with a duo, finished in 4.25hrs (7:45 tee) but would've been faster if not for the Club Pro in front of my 3some who opted to play 2-3 balls for the front 9.

Coming from Orlando, FL I can say there aren't too many local courses that offer the combination of well kept, challenging, and picture-esque for the same $80ish price point. Would love to play here again if I find myself in Phoenix again in the future. If you're from out of town and can grab a tee time before 8am on a weekday then I'd say this is the perfect spot if you only plan on playing 1 round in Phoenix.
