Arizona Biltmore Golf Club - Estates Course

I think they didnt really have enough room for the course. Probably worked well with the older balls and clubs, but it’s very tightly packed into the space. The good news is that means that if your wild, your ball will likely end up on another fairway. Since the recently planted trees havent grown in yet, you will probably have a shot from the other fairway.

Green were in mixed shape. Some were good and a few were not. In particular, the day we played, the flag on #2 was surrounded by bare areas that came within about 10 feet of the cup. There was a lot of much better green available in other locations, but they chose to cut the cup in one of the worst areas.

Pace of play was ok, but not great.No restaurant due to construction. I didn’t sample the halfway house.

The layout is pretty tight. I felt like I should wear a hard hat. Course is very playable but not super interesting. Very fun to see all the estate houses around the course.

The course is not well laid out. The holes are much too close together. You can see three or four other holes when you play. I took us 5+ hours to play and we waited on every shot. Greens were hard as rock and almost impossible to hold a shot. Our GPS didn’t work. They gave us another cart and the gps didn’t work on the new cart either. Many other course better than this one for the price.

The greens had big spots of burn out or something else but it made that part unplayable. Wear a helmet because balls fly at you from every direction while on the green, fairway or tee box. The whole course was not good, they said renovation but for that price go play somewhere. very disappointed. Will never play here again, layout cannot change so you will always have fairways right next to each other. Lastly, resort course, they had two somes all over the course.

I guess with the Iowa caucus just ending we are expected to believe everything we are told.

So, this is what I will tell you and you can say it's "fake news"

I've played 'Adobe' a couple dozen times. The 'Estate' course is 'Adobe" with the exception of a couple hundred yards.

Biggest difference is it's in very rough shape, coupled with indifferent grounds crews saturating the tract.

Oh yeah... third world technology GPS that won't show you the hole layout but it will stop your cart if you pull off the path.

Arizona Biltmore has a long and respectable reputation. I am embarrassed by their misrepresentation of the 'improvements' over the 'Abode' course.

Take my review for what it's worth but you will never see me at a MAGA rally.

Very poor condition - especially for the green fees. Terrific staff but there are MUCH better alternatives.

Horrible conditions and an awful layout. Definitely not worth the listed green fees nor the discounted fees available via GolfNow/Teeoff

Loved the course. Plush green grass. Beautiful water holes. Very friendly staff. Would definitely do it again.

Disappointed to say the least. Course layout is awful. Too easy to get greens mixed up. Playing across other holes. No signage. People hitting at you from other fairways. Not worth the winter premium price. If you can get a hot deal it’s not a bad time but for $170 it’s not worth the price. Much better golf around for relatively same price around Scottsdale. Course is crammed in too small of an area. Greens have holes and rough patches. For the money you would expect much better. Construction everywhere. Tiny little halfway house right in the middle of a construction zone. Just too much to complain about for that price.

The Estates course could be good someday just not now

Course needs to grow in and mature

Greens had problems and were very slow

Surprising to see standing water in many places

My first time playing the estate course. I found it to be solidly mediocre. The staff was very friendly. The facilities which are in renovation will be nice. It was a remake of the old course which sat in front of the clubhouse. It’s a straightforward series of holes that are out and back out and back from the clubhouse.

There are so many more exciting courses in the Phoenix area. I probably won’t return to this one. The other course at the Biltmore is more fun.

I played the estates course for the first time this week. I found it to be just OK, not very exciting.

No real elevation changes the greens were not so great, the sand was very good!

Next time I’ll play the other course. I’m excited about the construction they’re doing on the new clubhouse. That will be pretty awesome.

I was excited to play the newly renovated estates course, I was very let down. For the price you can play wildfire, which is far far better. The routing on the back 9 is pretty confusing and crowded. There were times we had groups from 3 different holes in our way on shots. Also, they greens were in very very poor shape. It doesn’t look like they added much to the previous links course but the price skyrocketed. If I play again I would play the Links course since it is cheaper. If you’re looking for something in this price range, there are better options for you. This should be on the same level as orange tree. I would only play again if they greatly reduced the price and fixed up the greens (it’s brand new!!!)

All they did was change the hole numbers. Number 6 is thr old number 1. I was expecting a new course instead we got Adobe 2.0
