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.

Dissappointing Course Layout
It was a perfect day for golf 72 degrees dry and sunny. The first tee on the Adobe course was confusing as the 18th green was 30 yards to the right of the tee box and the whole course was layed out that way. The black tee box was oftern so far back from the cart path it was a hike at least 40 yards back.
Twice I was nearly hit by golf balls. The tree's were sparse and not enough to separate the fairways. I highly recommend that if your looking for a course to play in AZ that you choose another one.
Fantastic Price and Course
Great resort course layout, generous fairways, fair yet challenging from the black tees. Views of the Phoenix mountains were superb today!
Spend your money else where
This was my first time playing this course, in hopes it was going to be a great experience due to the cost. Do yourself a favor.....play any other course besides this one. Absolute garbage.
Flat & Boring
While well-maintained and with a friendly staff, the Adobe course is flat, boring, with fairways & hitting very close to others and tee boxes. Pretty and forgiving, but a yawner.
Solid sunday
Course was great, played the back tees. If you hit your drives 250+ play the back tees. Only down fall was a lot of people aren’t repairing their hallmarks. Other than that, facility was clean, course was well maintained. Carts have GPS. Pretty wide open.
Wondeful staff
Course is good. Staff are very professional. Exemplary service for any golf club to follow. A basket of warm up range balls should come with the booking, which is the only reason I wouldn't give 5/5 for value. All things considered, Lovely track and I will be visiting again.
Wonderful course
One of my all time favorites, Green’s rolled great.
Wonderful day
Played with family. With daughter and her new fiance, the staff allowed them to use the rental clubs for free! A wonderful engagement gift
great staff, easy course
Much of the reason I say the course is "easy", is because of course design and maintenance. The course is WIDE, and the rough is ....short, real short. Hardly a chance of walking up to your ball and telling yourself that you can only hack it out 60 yards. Tough to lose a ball here - I lost one because of unfamiliarity, not knowing there was a pond behind a green. When you play a course for the first time and shoot a much lower score than average, it's an easy set-up. Staff was great, weather was great, the guy I played with was great.
Do NOT play Adobe Course- worst value in PHX
This is cheesy interior course with holes that are narrow and almost cross each other. We had oncoming players from the hole behind us hitting in our fairway several times. The course is flat, boring and an incredible rip of for $125. We booked at last minute and everything else was sold out. My friends tell me the other course at the Biltmore is better. Adobe sucks. Don't play it unless it's free and then don't expect a good value. You wished you paid to play a real golf course!
Great value and conditions
Course and especially the greens were in great shape. Place of play was 3:45 with 9:30 AM tee time.
Overall conditions
The course is not nice
The pace of play was so bad we quit after 9 holes
