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.

Disappointed

Holes are on top of each other. Pace of play is the surest I’ve experienced. I played in the afternoon and the gps on the cart kept alerting me to return the cart by 6:59, approximately an hour before it was dark. I won’t be back

Great Updates

My group and I found the course to be in great shape and enjoyed the updates they made to it, the clubhouse was amazing, and the restaurant was outstanding. We will be back.

Fun and forgiving course

The course definitely has an interesting layout but if you play here a couple times it grows on you. Not as bad as what the reviews say. Wide open fairways

Terrible layout such a nice property.

Arizona Biltmore is too classy to have a course layout of this design. A good share of the round you were either worried about getting hit by a golf ball or hitting someone with your golf ball. Some tee boxes were too close to greens or other tee boxes. Tee box markings were terrible, on one hole 2 of us hit our tee shot the total wrong direction off the tee box. Another golfer corrected us. Another hole side by side, we all hit off the wrong tee box. Some cart paths would run almost into other fairways or landing zones.

18 holes jammed on small area

The 'new' course is very tight with no space between fairways and many holes where the party teeing off ahead is hitting back toward following group on the green. One approach shot rolled slowly off back of green and was on the next tee box it was so close. Looked like an old municipal course jammed on too small a lot with just out and back fairways. Disappointing.

Not so much

I was excited to play after redesign...what I found was a lot of holes were just shortened or lengthened or tee boxes and/or greens moved....course is a bit more confusing as fairways all go together...I prefer the Links

Disappointed with the Estates course.

The layout was confusing. Some of the tee boxes did not make sense and did not line up with the hole markers. Holes ran next to each other and people were hitting into each other. The first par 3 on the back 9 had a ridiculous pin placement. Several of the greens were in bad shape. We will not return.

Late afternoon special

Played Biltmore Estate Course late in the day so only got in 13 holes (as expected). Course was a fairly simple back and forth layout, not very imaginative. Course conditions were good. Not at all crowded.

To tight

Holes were so close together the GPS got confused as to what hole we were playing. From the tee boxes, it was very difficult to see where your aiming point was. Poor layout , extremely disappointed considering the price

A great course

We played the estates course which is in a tight area. That actually made it nice because there was not a lot of desert or brush to lose balls in. Staff is amazing.
