Arizona Biltmore Golf Club - Estates Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Some consider the Estates course (formerly known as Adobe golf course) at the Arizona Biltmore Golf Club to be grand and stately, a prime example of golf course design in the pre-modern era, combining rare beauty with solid trickery. It makes for a round both relaxing and challenging played on lush 50-year-old fairways, with a spacious layout, reminding on of golf as it ought to be played: the glory days when graphite went into pencils and balls were only white.
The Adobe golf course at the Arizona Golf Club measures 6,430 yards from the white tees and comes in at par-71.
Due to the mild Arizona winters, the Adobe Golf Course at the Arizona Biltmore Golf Club is open year-round.

What a mess!
Course was in poor condition. Staff did not give clear instructions. If you want to play a course with poor signage and limited instruction on where to go, this course is for you. Also while green it was in poor condition.
No Parking
I could not find a place to park until it was too late to make my tee time.
First time on Adobe
Wide open course. One hole shorted by 40 yrds due to new clubhouse construction. Was told both courses will be redone soon by Tom Lehman. Would play here again, but not a full on-season pricing.
A great traditional layout…very golfer friendly.
Played here many times…I love this course. It is steeped in history since 1929. This is a must play course if you are in Phoenix. Check it out…you will be glad you did.
Love the course but
Played this course multiple times. Always enjoyed it. But lots of construction going on so somewhat disruptive right now.
Course is going through capital improvements and has 1 temporary green.
Friendly staff and pace of play were great. Only a few tee off areas are a little rough. Fairways and rough were very good. Greens a bit slow, but good. Enjoyed the round
Stunning course
Had a great time on the adobe course today, Hot Dogs at the bar were incredible and you can’t beat the back drop. Little challenging to find lesson learned “follow the valet sign”
Not impressed
People are very nice but the course is average at best Far better places to play for the money.
Adobe
Beautiful course, friendly staff but it was slow and course needed mowing 2 days ago and there was no warning that the 9th green was temporary and about 50 yards closer. GPS on carts is worthless. Too much money, in my opinion, for what you get.
Clubhouse is underl construction and entrance very hard to find
Course has remarkably similar holes and hard to say what experience would be if the construction is complete
Beautiful course!
I booked this cause late, but the office let me go as early as possible to finish my 18 holes! They are so nice!
Enjoyed my game
Beautiful golf course! Me and my wife enjoyed the game!
A classic course that still holds up.
This is one of two course at The Biltmore. I like this one best. It is far from a modern design and many consider it short. Regardless, it is a pleasure to play and I found some great conditions especially on the greens. If you prefer modern design, you may not like this one but for a classic course, this is a wonderful example.
Weekend golfer
Paid a lot of money to play a course with mediocre conditions.
