The Links at Arizona Biltmore Golf Club is the "younger" of two golf courses on the Biltmore property, and offers intelligence and innovation, with little room for impatience, on a much-feted design that fast gained reverence from both local and visiting golfers. The golf course features fairways that wind amidst lush pine trees and some of Phoenix's showier houses, greens so bunkered that precision is the minimum to shoot for, and contoured greens that roll as they come. Put the ball where it belongs, and it'll show up on the scorecard; put the ball where it doesn't, and that will show up, too.

After your round on the Links at Arizona Biltmore Golf Club, head in for one of several dining options, from Southwestern to French to Asian to fusion dishes, as well as snacks and high tea post-tee.

Looking to do more than get on the Links at the Arizona Biltmore Golf Club and have a nibble and a cup? Look into one of several packages available, including stay-and-play deals.

Great job keeping it nice thru summer

Summer is tough on the courses in Phoenix. Biltmore has done a fantastic job of keeping the course in awesome condition. Greens are a little slower right now but that has a few more putts going in so......In two more weeks it will be PERFECT...written 6-28-13

Good course for the money

Play was a little slow but still a good value. The staff is very nice and the ranger was trying to speed up play. Group in front of us were hackers so that didn't help. Overall I like this course and would play again.

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE

As you might expect from a Biltmore golf course, it was in excellent condition given the early summer 100+ temperatures that prevailed. Just what you would expect from an older high-end resort course. Not too difficult but enjoyable for all handicaps. Recommended for a pleasant experience.

Slow Play

We, a two-some, played the Links course around mid-morning. There was another two-some ahead of us, but they moved along okay until about the 5th hole, then it was all over. The pace of play slowed to less than a crawl. Ended up being a 5 hour plus round. Wish people would play from the tees appropriate for their skill level and not their ego. Course was okay, but not likely to return unless get some rangers out there to move folks along. Cart people were very good, person in the golf shop was exceptionally nice and friendly. I only recommend this with the advisement that you allocate lots of time to play.

Very good value for the price

The outside staff was very friendly and helpful. The guys at the pro shop, less so. They seemed to be having a bad day and were doing their best to ignore customers.

Good course. Great back nine

Front nine is short and easy. The back nine is where the value is. Some challenging holes and fantastic views. The course was in excellent condition.

Very Nice Course, If You Book On Golf Now

If you book this course on GolfNow and get the reduced rate you will be very satisfied. Course conditions are excellent, staff is very attentive, layout is above average and is very playable for 25 handicaps and lower. Single digits who drive the ball well may get tired of Driver/Wedge play. My only real complaint was not that I had to pay for range balls, but the condition of the teeing area at the range. They need to move the tees more frequently. I spent my time hitting off a heavily sanded teeing area. My reccommendation would to have an alternate matted area when they cannot find an appropriate grass area to hit balls from. The rest of the practice area was in very good shape, bunkers, putting green, all very nice. Thanks to the staff, who were great. I was staying at the Biltmore, but the best rate is through GolfNow.

Top AZ Course - LINKS

I live/work near the course and can't understand why this course isn't packed every single day. The Links course provides enough challenge and great views/course conditions throughout the year.

Fun course to play

Not an overly long course, but it was in excellent condition, the greens were very consistent and rolled very nicely. Fairways were as good as it gets. Would definitely play again.

I enjoyed the variety of difference of the holes on the course. The back nine on the links was fantastic. It was fun and very challenging. There were beautiful views. I paid the after 2pm price and it was worth every bit of it. Can't wait to play it again.

The course is very playable for the avg. golfer.

We found the pace of play very slow. There was no ranger on the course, and the pro shop staff didn't really seem to care about doing anything about it?
The Links course is the better of the 2 courses.

Nice Place

Hadn't played in 25 years at the Biltmore and had forgotten it's beauty. Greens were excellent but rather small.
Nice place.
