Arizona Biltmore Golf Club - Estates Course

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

New layout was interesting if a bit confusing. Some greens were in bad shape but mostly pretty good. Huge disappointment was absolutely no distance markets. Normally not a problem but they don’t have gps service with any of the major apps either. Should not be charging what they charge if they aren’t ready for play…

I understand they’re doing construction, but charging $200 to play a course in such poor condition was a joke. The new layout has fairways playing opposite each other so oftentimes you had to wait while a golfer from the opposite tee was playing off your fairway. Sand on the greens, mowers and maintenance vehicles everywhere…I would not pay more than $50 to play that course again. To top it off for some reason they were cart path only making play even slower. There’s better alternatives in Phoenix.

I was looking forward to playing this redesign course and was highly disappointed. They were the worst greens I've played in years and that's including muni courses. I played it for a hot rate and would have been very upset if I had paid full price for that! You figure the course was closed for so long that the greens would have been in decent condition at least but was far from it.

The course is not ready for play

Green are mark up and were brutal

With marks and missing grass

The Estates course is not ready for prime time and certainly not for $150!

The staff was friendly but offered excuses for the conditions.

The range is soft and chewed up.

Many brown spots on the course for this time of year.

The greens are horrible, mottled, lumpy and slow.

I was told they just got overseeded . Not accurate excuse as I know the difference as I had a career in golf clubs.

The course was also cart path only which wasn’t told to us ahead of time.

Do not open until you are in better condition!

GPS didn’t work and Garmin watch did not have updated info.

Hard to see and navigate.

Really enjoyed this course. It was cart path only due to re-seeding, so meant lots of walking. Only problem we had was a couple of times we weren’t sure where the next hole was. Not well marked.

Overpriced. Terrible greens. Would not play again.
