Arizona Biltmore Golf Club - Estates Course

Maybe the worst course layout I’ve ever played! Parallel holes too close together and even dangerous by some standards. Cross-crossing holes after the green very hard to determine which way to go. For a newly built course, it was in pretty bad condition, but wven though the greens had a lot of rough patches, they rolled well, albeit, too slow for my taste. Staff was very friendly and even the Marshall was understanding and helpful. They just need to change the hole layout and put some more money toward the grounds crew and course care. Then I may come back.

From the start , finding it was horrible, finding your way around was also a little toy, but it was first time, it’s a course where everyone is in each others fairway, got to keep your head up, for the price I won’t be back

Greens need a few more months of growth and tending.

Pro shop beautiful

Still building restaurant

It’s going to be beautiful when completed

The first problem was finding the Club House. The road had very little signs and there was construction that made it difficult to find. The staff were friendly and they valet parked my vehicle. That a nice. The course is not well defined. It is hard to see the greens as the holes are so close. People in our group hit to the wrong green on several occasions. You also must be aware of balls coming from different fairways. The pace was very slow and I joined a group ahead of me to try and pick it up. We still waited every hole. The beverage cart did not help as it stopped in the middle of fairways to serve people instead of by tees. The course looked like it had been recently sodded and some greens were already burnt. I did not find the layout to be interesting. It was mainly flat and open. This course is fine for a beginner, but not at the price. I hav played many munis that are nicer.

Really poor conditions. I’ve never left a review on a course before but I would hate for anymore people to waste their money here. I’m not stingy either. If the course is pure it’s worth it but that’s just not the case here. Maybe they opened too early. Greens are not rolling true, plenty of greens with dirt patches all over the place. I didn’t score too bad here but was severely disappointed with the overall conditions of the course for a $200 round.

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.
