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.

Classic Old Style Course

While this course was recently updated, it really plays like an old outer and inner circle course. It is worth playing once. Nice to see the older mansions surrounding it being updated.

Not worth the price

The grounds were hard, fairways are narrow, staff was not friendly at all. Trying to place your tee in the grounds was so dry and hard. Golfers were all over adjacent fairways. Staff was rude, short and too busy to be helpful!

Disappointing for such a nice resort

Firstly, it was windy and there had been cancellations so that probably helped the pace of play, but, on the other hand, I don’t think the wind would have helped the greens, which were hard and quite rough.

The course isn’t at all tricky, but the fairways often run parallel and we were constantly waiting for people who had strayed onto our fairway to play their ball. We all know it happens from time to time, but this was seemingly on every hole.

The tenth runs alongside the driving range and there is no net to protect you…..not ideal!

The tee boxes were very hard and, as I mentioned earlier, so were the greens. You had very little chance of holding the green if you pitched on it.

I had good company and enjoyed my afternoon, but I wouldn’t want to be paying full price for this. Perhaps if we ever get some rain, the course might play a little better.

The course renovation is nice and it was in good shape. Question if it’s worth $200 charged Also GOLFNOW app . Map function took me to an office complex nearby and not the clubhouse so I almost missed my tee time. Clubhouse remodel is nice th

Nice layout, gorgeous views

If you are looking for a parklands style course where you are more likely to spot a MLBer at Spring training than a rattlesnake, this is a great course. Reachable par 5’s, and consistent greens makes this a target course for going low. No rocks and cactus. Water doesn’t come into play. Forgiving fairways. And did I mention gorgeous views! It’s a really pretty track. Played in just under 4 hrs. Couldn’t have asked for a better option. A tad pricey, but worth it for a high handicapper looking for a chance to break 90.

good experience

A few of the holes were muddy but not too bad. The course was overall in good shape. The first few holes were ok but everything beyond hole 5 was excellent. Most of the Par 4s are on the shorter side and all the Par 3s are fairly easy. Some water hazards keep you on your toes. Most of the fairways were pretty wide open for the most part. The beverage cart came around 3 times which was solid. All the employees were nice and helpful. Pace of play was good but we went on a Monday so obviously not during their peak hours. Overall if you like having a good time and don't want to play a super difficult course, this is a good course to checkout.

Hidden Gem on the North Side

First time at Biltmore Estate course. Golf course was in excellent condition and the greens were fantastic. There are multiple tees for all levels of player and layout is challenging but fair. Don’t overlook this property during your visit to the valley.
