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.

Bad Greens

Greens on Front 9 of Links coarse are in terrible shape, lot of patches and bare spots. Back 9 better but not worth the money. I asked the Ambassador why the conditions were so poor he said he didn’t know that they were not good.

not a great golf course

Just paid $150.00 to play a golf course that should have cost $50.00. HORRIBLE shape!

It was VERY obvious out of the $150.00 per golfer that maybe 15 cents went back into the care of the golf course.

Course needs work

Fairways were hard, bunkers need sand, the greens while fast and playable - were in rough shape. For the price, some courtesy water in the cart would be expected.

Really enjoy playing this course.

They have two courses and the links is the better one, in my opinion. Staff are very friendly and really enjoy the course which is in very good shape. Will be playing it again

Great layout, good test

Wide fairways but trouble lurking in the form of water and bunkers mainly. Very fast greens, some with hard to judge slopes. Every hole is different. I love this course it’s the 3rd time I’ve played it. Very good practice facility, clubhouse and restaurant. Friendly staff. My club of choice in the area.

Not worth the money

It’s a shame that such a beautiful part of Phoenix surrounded by beautiful homes has a golf course that is so poorly maintained. The greens were dried out and patches of discoloration the tea boxes or in terrible shape. There’s so much more they can do with this course. They spend almost $200 around is unacceptable to have it being in the condition it was in.

For the money this course was way overpriced.

The course was in horrible condition. The bunkers were pathetic. No sand just rocks and dirt. Greens were patchy. This course is at best an average muni course. $50 max. Sad for such a beautiful area of Phoenix. Lost opportunity

A Resort Course

A friendly, well-maintained course that contains a few very good holes and a lot of plain vanilla ones. Dollar for dollar I would not put it on a par with many others at this price, but I have no regrets. Views are pretty.

Hard greens

The Links course is in pretty good condition. However, the greens, which are small to start with, were very firm, fast, and unreceptive. It is tough when you can't land on the green and hold it, so you have to land short and run it up, only to have the ball roll all the way over the green.

We paid $100 on a Hot Deal. I think this course should be around $75. We teed off at 10:32 and for some reason they had a 20 minute gap behind us. Priced a little high maybe?

Great Link course

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

The links

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.

Not worth the money

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.
