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.

A well maintained course
This is a well maintained course it is pretty straight forward with a few hazards to keep you on your toes
Great time!
Fun course, fast play, super chill, great clubhouse and restaurant…very nice folks!
Perfect conditions on an easy course.
I booked this course as it was close to where I was staying and it had some favorable times while I was in the area for a separate event.
Layout is similar to a muni with holes weaving back and forth without the desert/unplayable areas or homes between the holes as seen in most modern desert courses. There is almost no way to get yourself in real trouble and my score (par) reflected the 115 slope and perfect conditions of the course including fairways and greens.
The facility was undergoing a complete renovation and I think it will be amazing when it is opened. Staff was great and attentive, even when I showed up the day before just to hit balls at the practice area.
Overall, the course itself is unremarkable except for the hotel-sized homes around the boundaries of the golf course and what looks like an incredible new clubhouse.
Grossly overpriced. A pedestrian unimaginative mucnicpal type course with resort rates. Would not play here again. Green fees should be about $70.
Wasn’t impressed
Wasn’t impressed with golf course for the price. Golf clientele was rude!
Terrible experience
After I booked my round, and it being too late to cancel, I read some of the reviews. Shame on me for not doing it earlier. This course is grossly over priced at $180 to play. The fairways are very dry, greens terribly slow, waited at every hole to tee off, and no rangers on the course to speed things up. There is construction everywhere from the parking lot to the cart areas.
I will not be back to this course again, and I certainly would not recommend it to anyone.
It was ok.
The course was fun in its simplicity. It was a big field with 18 holes squished into it. So much so we almost got hit by driving range balls on hole one and balls were hitting our carts on the fly on hole two. It should not cost $150 to play, I expect more of an experience in that price range. The food was good and the staff was accommodating, but I probably will go somewhere else next time.
Not bad
Old school course that has 36 holes weaving around each other side by side almost always. Some mountain views. Cool old mansions in some fairways.
Bunkers not great with rocks. Overall I'd say good place if saving money or just getting some swings in, then it's fine.
Average…but
Average parkland course, good condition but holes run close together so you’ll often have other players in your fairway. Note, rentals are substandard compared to other courses in the valley. Also major construction at site for new clubhouse.
Adobe
The course was in good shape and the staff was great. The layout was ok as it was basically a giant field where 18 holes were squished onto. The driving range was along the left side of hole one and we were almost hit a couple times. While on the tee for two, two of our carts were hit by range balls on the fly, it was super dangerous. What looked like a new clubhouse was under construction so there were fences and barriers all over the place. The food was pretty good, I had a breakfast burrito and a coffee. My experience was not worth the price, and I don’t mind paying if the experience is worth it. I left feeling pretty “meh” after the round even though my playing partners were great. If you’re looking for a better round for the same price I can think of five courses in Tucson that are much better for the same price. I probably won’t go back.
Not worth it!
Played Adobe and had 4-5 holes where range balls were everywhere. Felt exposed when teeing off on holes near driving range. Course was very compact with a lot of crossover onto other holes when balls didn’t go straight. Will not go back.
