Arizona Biltmore Golf Club - Links Course

Small greens very fast, keep the ball straight on front 9 and you can score, back 9 tougher.

The links course is in very bad shape, the greens are terrible, not worth the money.

The estate course looked far better with a far better pace of play.

We have played this course more than five times over the course of the past year. The length has never been in such bad shape. I will never play it again.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Course? Many narrow fairways line with housing units so you had better hit the ball super straight. In addition some were adjacent to busy roads which added to the tension of driving the ball. Overall, a huge disappointment. Like so many other places, the bottom line drives the amenities and they suffer because people will come to play based on the heritage of the facility. This place is obviously resting on its laurels.

There are two tracks at the Arizona Biltmore. The estate corse and the links course. I played the links course. It is NOT a links layout as it takes you around the perimeter of the property. The estate course is laid out like a true links course, but desert style with fairways separated by sandy waste areas. Plus the conditions of the estate course from what I could see from the pro shop and the adobe restaurant (both nice set ups with good service) looked very good. The links course bunkers need rehabbing in the worst way, as in add sand, tee boxes a chewed up, in short should have been a lot nicer for $180 green fees. The estate course looks like about $50 more a round. AZ golf is a bit stupid expensive- and I mostly play in SoCal, so not just playing muni tracks (though I love them) on the cheap. Play something else- though the Biltmore history is neat

Course was in good condition. Bunkers could use a litttle more sand. Had a freeze delay so was a little slow on front nine. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Lots of greenery including lush rough. Fast greens. Every hole was different. Nice scenery. Fairly wide open but hazards were there to catch errant shots.

Range and practice facilities included free range balls, chipping and large putting green.

Pace of play was slow, most likely due to the inexperienced foursome in front. We had our tee time bumped to accommodate the last group of a tournament. Didn’t think much of it until we waited on every hole that led to a 5 hr round. Shouldn’t happen. Overall though I love this course. It’s my favourite in the area,

The course was fine but we were disappointed the range required us to hit off of mats only. We also were disappointed the putting green was off limits and set aside for the academy which wasn’t using it at the time. We used a small portion of the chipping green instead. One real positive note - the concession stand at the turn did have world famous hotdogs! We might come back for that.

As soon as I got to the bag drop i was welcomed and my bag was put on a cart and I was given clear instructions. Pro Shop seemed new, nice and spacious. Free range balls was a nice bonus. Nice practice area inc range and chipping.

Didn't catch the group ahead and only held up the guys behind a couple of times. I joined up with high handicap players who were expectedly to be slow but nice people. Great layout. Surprisingly fast greens that were not always easy to read.

I liked this course for being a full 18 holes. Wide open in places but hazards keep you on your toes.

Good drink cart service.

Very enjoyable.
