Arizona Biltmore Golf Club - Estates Course

The staff here was not particularly friendly and the communication was terrible. For instance, when we checked in nobody asked us if we wanted range balls so off we went to the range which is sort of out of the way, only to find out that you needed to get balls from the guy who checked you in. The GPS in the cart was not turned on and we couldn’t figure it out and the guy in the shop seemed put out that we couldn’t figure it out. Finally, there is no starter to keep things flowing at the first tee. Needlessly to say, there are hundreds of courses in AZ and don’t think we will be back. It is fun to look at all of the mansions around the course though!

It’s a challenging course with some long holes, but too many tee boxes are in the line of fire from previous hole approach shots. Pay attention. We almost got hit a few times. After a short par 3 someone drilled their tee shot into my wife’s golf bag while we teed off on the next hole - and it was only a slightly pulled tee shot.

Overall course condition average to good. Nice views and the greens were in great shape. Fairways and approach areas need some work.

Course was very average , the homes around the course were magnificent.

Biltmore used to be “serviceable,” in the past few years the conditions have just gone totally downhill. I would compare the quality of this course to some of the 10-15 dollar courses on golf now. The tee boxes are very unlevel, greens are worst maintained of any facility in the valley. Get it together biltmore

I played this course over 25 years ago. My memories of that round of golf was much better than the round I played today. The course was reworked last year and my GPS watch was off all day so having some idea of yardage was gone. Some greens were very close to dying out but I need to consider the heat that has been bearing down for several months. There was no water available on the course except through the beverage girl and all ball washers were closed due to COVID-19 which I do not understand how that would protect someone from the pandemic. This being said any day playing golf is a great day the staff we encountered were very helpful.

Warm weather but fun time to play at the Biltmore, not crowded, staff is happy to have you and an interesting layout. Jcs

It feels like a municipal course. I’ve played this course since the late 1970s. The Adobe has change some over the years, and not really the better. Distance has been lost. Holes have been put clothes together. Trees have been taken out. We were probably the second group off the tee early in the morning. Nonetheless, the greens were extremely slow. Even putting down hill was a chore to get the ball to the hole. I had to hit a 4-5 foot putt hard to get it to the hole. Tee boxes had not been mowed and tee markers had not been moved from the previous day. Someone needs to light a fire under the butt of the course superintendent. As things are now I don’t see how the resort can take any pride in the Adobe course.

Today's round of golf was fun. I enjoy playing the Biltmore course. It is challenging but not too difficult. I was paired with a couple of guys who welcomed me in the group. This is a beautiful course to play in the middle of the city.

Calling this a goat track is correct but still an insult to all the indigenous peoples around the globe scratching out a meager living by herding goats. It’s almost unreal that these fairways are lined with multi million dollar homes. Maybe they should mutiny and demand that something be done, like some mowing or edging. I can’t believe I paid $40 in peak summer for this sack of yak excrement. I called the cops and told them I got robbed but they said they receive too many of the same calls about this place to do anything about it. Maybe if the price drops to $10 I’ll consider it again, but only when they get the giant mud puddles cleared from every “fairway”

Pace of play really only thing great. Simply layout where you can just pound driver every hole. Greens are tiny, and every pin seemed to be tucked no more than 5 yards from the edge. Condition was fine.
