Arizona Biltmore, a Waldorf Astoria Resort

Every single staffer at this course was professional and had a great positive attitude. Without a doubt, you felt welcome and they were genuinely happy to have had hosted you for that day. Well done Estates Course Biltmore!!

But by updated Garmin Golf watch only gave me two course options - Links & Adobe. Estates would not show after a reboot. So that dampened the experience playing with cart GPS instead of personal watch.

We were very impressed with the course. We found it challenging but fun to play. Our party had a great time and we also ate at the restaurant after we finished playing. The onlly negative is that we encountered one of your staff taking at least 3 of our balls on hole14. We noticed one of your staff in a cart hovering near a fence waiting for us to pass him but he was near the area where three of our balls landed. After he left we noticed our balls were missing. We had just finished teeing off and we searched for the balls near where the staff was parked with his cart. Three of our balls were never found. It was very disappointing and frankly messed up. We called the golf shop to complain but they brushed if off by saying they will look into it. Otherwise, we liked this course and we plan to play here again in the future.

Horrible pace of play! 5 hours and 20 minutes for 15 holes and couldn’t do another 1 hour so we just got off the course. It took 1 hour and 10 minutes to play holes on 12 and 13. Absolutely the worst experience! Our tee time was at 9:00… poorly managed

We had our gps boy work on our cart. We sent a message to change it out but nothing one came so we went and had to trade it in. Just kinda annoying but it worked out!

Everything was in great shape and the bunkers were perfect.

Historically you could find your ball if it just missed the fairway and dribbled into the rough but not today.

Between my partner and I we lost 6 balls (2 on 9, 2 on 10 and 2 on 17) just barely off the fairway.

Great value, good conditions, great pace! If the groundskeepers would go against the player flow, it would be fine. However, I had to deal with mowing machines for 4 of the front nine before I was able to out-race them. Totally distracting and obtrusive. They should go against the flow so they only intersect at 1 hole I was racing and waiting on them for 3 on the front nine and a couple on the back. Knock it off! I’m waiving them through on multiple holes and trying to avoid their massive machines far too many homes. Head groundskeeper need to figure this simple factor out.

This is my second time playing at this course and I love it. Entire personnel were polite and professional. I have recommended this course to friends when they fly to Phoenix.

Great potential, loved the layout and various elevations. Just a few criticisms, Fairways were ragged and unevenly cut. Most areas had large patches of uneven, long grass, fairways could be better maintained. As for the course service, given the extreme heat, it was basically nonexistent. The Cart Girl pulled up when we approached 17. Maybe just an off day. I would definitely give it another try after reseeded, hoping fairways will be better maintained.

The Estates course is in great shape from tee to green. Only complaint it’s back and forth and you hear FORE ALOT!! I would bet at least 1 person a day gets hit by a golf ball. Lots of back and forth and playing out of other fairways. Busy course even on a hot August day.

Yes, it's summer . Yes, it's hot in Phoenix. Yes, you can play a well conditioned course in the middle of Phoenix in three and a half hours - no sweat !

Tee off by 10 and you will be very pleased that pace of play will not be an issue. You will be finished before the higher temps arrive and will feel pretty good too .

The Estates course that has been redesigned by pro golfer and course designer Tom Lehman provides an enjoyable and restorative round on the original 1928 footprint. The course is very walkable in the cooler months. Course conditions are first rate, bunkers have very good quality sand and green speed and conditions are appealing to every level of skill. Have a cool one post round !

Great time out. Played golf with a few members. Course was in great shape. Thought the layout feels easy, reading the greens was much more difficult. Really enjoyed the round and the group I played with. The course was also wide open and we played 18 in less than 3 hours.
