Arizona Biltmore Golf Club - Estates Course
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.

Adobe
The staff was friendly. Cart was nice and clean.
Course was in good shape, although some of the traps had a lot of stones.
Nice, historical course!
Overall good experience at Arizona Biltmore Adobe. There was a major scramble tournament in front of us, which delayed our tee time from starting on time. This wasn’t communicated to us until we were about to tee off, unfortunately. The practice facility is nice and the views from the course are good. In my opinion, it was too pricey, but sort of expected when playing in Arizona in the winter. The course was in excellent shape. It was built in the 20’s and many famous people have played here, which was cool to read about. I would play again, but most likely not in the winter at the premium price.
Course is not worth the cost
Course in below average condition for this time of year. Most holes either along side driving range or side by side. Can be hit from anywhere it seemed. Greens on slow side. Just boring layout. No memorable holes. Staff not very friendly and first time playing course.
WELCOMING PEOPLE
I noticed right off the staff was very friendly and helpful!
Course was in great condition from tee to greens.
My tee time was at 1pm, so pace of play was expected to be worse than the 4.5 hours
Beautiful course with stunning views
This course was extremely well maintained. There are views on most holes of the mountains that surround the course.. Even the rough is green grass at this course (and that was in January when some courses have dormant grass in the rough).
Over priced old course
Fairways are in nice condition. Greens are medium to fast. There are so many divots not repaired you can repair 10 divots on each green and still see some in your line. Biggest issue with this course is the layout. Fairways run
so close to each other, you feel like you are playing dodge ball instead of golf.
Pace of play was good. We went out early on a Saturday. Played full round in less than 4 hours. That's pretty good for weekend winter golf in AZ. Saw the beverage girls about every 3 or 4 holes. IMO, it's overpriced. Overall nice, but there are plenty of other courses in the area that are better value.
Beautiful course with lots of history.
I thoroughly Enjoyed the course, my only complaint might be it’s a little tight between greens and tee boxes in places.
Adobe Course
Great course surrounded by huge beautiful mansions. Well maintained course with a pretty challeging layout. Greens were in pretty good shape, plenty of break and fast.. Everyone at the course was pleasant and helpful..
Sort of Dull
Play here for the history, not for the course itself. The course is straight forward without a lot of trouble. It was a tad long for me but my playing partners were fine with it. I play very fast golf so while I took an extra stroke or two, I didn't hold them up.
I thought the staff was kind of snooty. Only one person was at all welcoming. There was a tournament on Links so perhaps they were tired? But based on the attitude, I would find somewhere else to play if I ever go back.
I will say they had a phenomenal women's section in the pro shop, I was very impressed but the course and staff didn't impress enough to want any logo wear.
