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.

Nice value
Everything was really nice. The layout, conditions, staff were all great. If I have any issue it would be inconsistency of the speed of the greens. Other that that it was great and look forward to playing it again.
Great views and Staff
The young man who checked me in was friendly and helpful. He made sure I was welcomed and had everything I needed. I played by myself but the pace of play was 4 hours due to a slower group ahead that backed everyone up. The cart GPS was accurate and helpful. Playing the traditional course you need to keep your ears alert, I almost got hit by golf balls 3-4 times. Overall I had a great time and experience and this would be a course I would play again.
Great golf experience
I really enjoyed this course. The pace of play was very quick. The course itself was not too challenging but the greens are tough. Not fast but lots of undulations. Staff was awesome. Very friendly and helpful.
Returned after 30 years
I really enjoyed the open layout & great views around the whole course. The only things that would have improved my experience were the greens were extremely slow & there were no markers on the tee box with a map of the hole like I’m used to...other than that I will definitely be back!

Good value and pace of play
Played the Adobe early am, only saw one other group and finished under 3 hours. Greens in good shape, not real fast but true. Bunkers could use maintenance and more sand in them is only critical comment. Friendly Pro Shop staff. My Phoenix buddy said for $110 in December it’s a good deal. I’d play it again for sure.
Surrounding neighbourhood enhances course
The Biltmore is close to downtown Phoenix and the houses surrounding it are magnificent. The course is very flat, dated and was’t well groomed. Trouble is non existent as you can see the entire from almost any spot on the course. There are some nice holes however and the weather was great.
Over seed
The course looks great, it was kind of shaggy. It will probably take a week for them to tighten up. All this is from the over seending that went in well. Love the Adobe course.
Footgolf
When I booked this time I didn't notice any indication that it was a foot golf booking. While the $15.00 rate should have been a warning signs, but when we got to the course they charged us $49.00. Why is Golfnow booking foot golf without bigger notifications.
Greens slow poor layout
A proverbial shooting gallery with five somes out on the course alternating to make foursome play. Pace was okay but idiots behind us hit up on us while we were waiting for group ahead. Greens were awful and terribly slow. This course is boring and the layout is awful. Worth $20 a round not much more.
One to miss
Late start, waited at every hole, course wet and fairway grass too long , and basically a large pitch and put course
Nice Over seed special.
I needed to get out and play a practice round . I came across a great afternoon price. It was 20.00 to play the course and they let us drive 90 degrees, which was a shock right after over seed. It's a fun course Their is not much danger and you can bomb away at almost every hole.
Mid week round
The course was really slow. Cart path only and had large outing shotgun about 25 minutes before our tee time. Course was flat and rather mundane. Staff was more worried about the outing people than the other paying customers. Won't go back for this course, but will try the Links course again.
Good value but beware the range!
Not a bad track - some decent variation and the course was in good shape for early October. Greens were slightly slow but nothing unreasonable, and they ran true. Got a great deal on green fees, so would play this course any time for that rate. Only problem, and it's not insignificant, is how they've crammed a driving range in between holes. We were literally dodging stray balls from the driving range on three separate holes - including having one ball land on the first green while we were putting. That's just plain irresponsible - put up some netting for crying out loud.....
course is in great shape
just a perfect day and the course is in excellent shape... too bad it is about to be closed for winter seeding. Green as can be and the greens looked slow but rolled out, played long this morning fairways and greens were pretty wet. Oh the rough is grown up almost rolled right over my ball twice stay in the fairways.
