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.

Golfer Reviews
Greens
Wish the greens were a little better to many ball divot marks not repaired. But overall beautiful course
Slow Play
In the past this has not been a "golf factory" A 5 hour round is ridiculous. Tee times should be 8 minutes at a minimum.
I really like this course, upkeep, etc and will return when I hear that the rounds are near 4 hours.
Arizona Biltmore Adobe Course
Course in excellent condition, Some challenging bunker placements around the greens, otherwise pretty straight and flat fairways with few other hazards
Biltmore
Nice course friendly staff and the pace of play was excellent for a Saturday morning 3.5 hours
Single player outing
First time playing at the Biltmore adobe - was greeted by friendly staff, got some range balls, and lined up with a single and a couple. Course was in good shape with a fairly traditional lay out. The first nine play seemed slow but with a couple of dropouts ahead of us we were able to finish 18 before dark. Overall a good outing.
Great for a casual round
Adobe is best when you just want to enjoy a round of old school golf. The course was in immaculate shape despite two complaints: slow greens and TERRIBLE bunkers. That's understandable given their average clientele.
It is not fair to compare this track to the Troons and Grayhawks and Phoenicians down the road, because it's not trying to be like them.
The small greens will challenge an otherwise short track, but very player-friendly. No desert to be found, very little trouble, perfect to bring a friend who is in town from cold weather who doesn't get to play often and may need to knock a lot of rust off.
For those griping about the price, they do not realize the entire course is overseeded. You won't see any brown, dormant Bermuda anywhere. A welcome sight indeed. Sit back, relax, and enjoy great views of Piestewa Peak (great group photo op on 8 or 17). I always enjoy this course.
Nicw, wide open, nothing fancy
Biltmore is a really posh area of Phoenix, fabulous houses, shopping. But Adobe is a pretty ordinary golf course. Straightforward, nothing fancy, but enjoyable.
Past its prime
This was a "hot deal" so I paid $70 plus tax & fees. The regular rate was $130 plus tax, etc. At $130 it is outrageous...it is barely worth $70. The driving range was all sand; the carts were beat up and the cart paths were in rough shape. Biltmore is living on its reputation of some years in the past. There are much better conditioned courses in the area that I will give my business to.
Great Course
Great course and in excellent condition. Very playable and worth the money.
AZ Biltmore + Adobe course = FUN
I have played this course for years. It is an old school type course but for Arizona that’s a plus.
The course was in great shap. The staff was friendly and attentive as always and the food was great.
If you haven’t played this course you should, it has 270 degrees of scenic views to boot.
Good value; old school track.
First tee time in the morning so 3:15 to play. Course was in good shape; greens were smooth but not super fast. Very old school design; pretty much back and forth parallel holes.
For the time of the year reasonably priced.
we were disappointed in conditioning, course does not drain well and there is little sand in the traps. We were pleased with pace of play but as others noted there was nary a ranger to be seen, The Staff were very helpful and friendly
Biltmore Adobe
This old school park style course is very forgiving and a nice reprive from the target desert golf you see all over the valley. It’s a great place for getting you game back in shape. Lots of parallel fairways and green grass. Don’t worry about going out of bounds. I snap hooked a ball two holes over and was still able to get on in two and easily make par. The course is a bit short for long hitters Playing from the back tees the course is barely over 6000 yards and the longest par 5 was 550 yards. Overall fun place to play and great views of the surrounding city mountains.
Not bad but a little expensive
Not superhard nice to get my feet back on the ground after not playing for a while.
AZ Biltmore Adobe
This is a nice resort style course. Some menacing bunkers but good sand and well maintained. Abundant fairways and easily managed rough. Greens are in good condition and not too fast,
I enjoyed a nice breakfast before my round and the staff were aware of my tee time and served me quickly and pleasantly. Definitely a must play while in the Phoenix area.

Older course design
Enjoyed playing an older style golf course that was wide open. There was no penalty for playing from an adjacent fairway. However, compared to other golf courses in the valley the Adobe course lacked variety in hole design. Pricing was fair for the age and design of the course. Enjoyed the Adobe grill after the round.
