The Biltmore Golf Course in Coral Gables sits next to the beautiful hotel, an architectural masterpiece that was modeled after the Giralda Tower in Seville, Spain. Donald Ross designed the course in 1925 and the traditional layout has retained all of its original character. The golf course weaves through a series of canals that used to carry guests along in gondolas. The canals run alongside the lush fairways while towering banyan trees frame the elevated greens. Offering views of the historic hotel from nearly every hole, there are carts available but the golf course is worth the walk. The layout is popular not only for its historic scenery and verdant setting, but also for its playability. Over the years the Biltmore has been host to a number of professional golfers and celebrities ranging from Babe Ruth to Tiger Woods.

Very good course but there could be improvements

Very good course condition. Challenging but fair. Managed to find every bunker that day (haha!) Friendly staff. Great price on GolfNow.

Feedback to the course: 1. There is insufficient signage to get to the next hole so it is easy to get lost for first time Visitors. 2. Pace of play was slow. We were 3 golfers stuck behind a foursome that was quite slow. By the 11th hole, we were waiting at every tee box. The twosome originally in front of us likely left after 9 holes or overtook the foursome. Marshall came to observe at the 14th hole but didn’t say anything to them. The round ultimately finished in 4h45min when it could have finished in 4h or less.

Its a good deal when you get a Hot Deal

When you get a hot deal, you leave your round satisfied. But if I were playing the full price, I most definitely would not. Some holes have patches on the fairway were grass is not growing of being taken care of. But i love the greens. They are firm, making it a fun challenge. Bunker are excellent. Some tee boxes a little too fuzzy for my taste. It was a slow day though. Ended up waiting a couple of minutes during the round. The cars have GPS, so they should track any slow groups.

Rain was a factor in 4 fairways where it was cart path only on those. Greens really in great condition. Good fairways when dry.

Terrible conditions

This beautiful golf course is in the worst shape ever. The fairways are in really bad shape, the bunkers are not rake, the rough not cut, there is no grass around the greens, after the renewal the destroy the natural drainage at least 4 holes (1,4,10,17). The golf course had a lack of details all around it like bad pin placement, wet and not grass in front of the majorities of the greens, the practice facility is a joke, the gps are not accrued (they don't show the flag in the right place). You guys need to do something to restore this golf course at what used to be.
