Good Experience but expensive

Visitor playing this course for the first time. The course was well maintained for 100+ degree weather in early October. The holes were pretty straight forward without many challenges. Not sure if it's worth the price but I guess these are going rates. Now I know what other reviews meant about holes been too close together. Too many players playing off different fairways - makes it hard to lose balls but had few people jump on my side when I was about two hit.

Course remodel made a decent course bad

I used to enjoy the Adobe course, but the recent remodel took away all the charm. Add to that absurd rates for what courses you could play at this price point, it’s not a good value. Also to note, the new course design has been live for a long time now, and yet still can’t find an online GPS app that has updated to reflect the new course. The cart is riddled with geo restrictions so you’re left guessing distances for most of the course (especially off the tee box when the cart is nowhere near. Another annoyance is the recent addition of full screen advertisements on the cart GPS. I’m talking every hole you have to dismiss it. Normally not an issue when you can you use your phone/watch GPS but here you have to rely on it solely. Skip this course, the Links is the only course worth playing.

Fore!

The investors were like "Ive got 4 acres of land and a 3 million dollar budget, build me a Par 72 course" developers went to the professional tetris league recruited half the team and said "bet".

Thats what this course is, tetris. Every hole is right next to each other so watch your head. Bright side is if you hit it out of bounds you're just in the fairway of the next hole (or hole next to that one).

Every hole had 2 groups waiting, gave up after finishing 13 4 hours into the day. Wouldnt offer any refund. Would never play here again.

Just Ok

I felt like all the fairways were overlapping, and we had balls hit at us several times. Confusing to navigate. Then cart girl was nowhere to be found until the 18th!!!

Great place to play

I hadn't played Phoenician and wanted a course that was in good shape where I could score well. This place was it. I didn't realize they had a new clubhouse and restaurant. Both are really nice. The course is in good shape. Greens and fairways were fine. The course is not difficult. There isn't much water, most holes are straight and the greens do not break much. It also isn't very long. This is the perfect place to play to go out and have a good round, at a course in good shape, with great facilities. Golf Now had a deal for $65 a round (other rounds that day were $84). All of the other options that day were $120+

Soon to be top notch.

The renovations are very nice & the regulation areas of the course are almost perfect conditions. Views of the surrounding mountains are cool with impressive homes around the property. The new grass & trees need a few years of maturing, but this course is soon to be top notch.

Fallen from former glory

I used to love The Links course at AZ Biltmore and was back on it for the first time in years yesterday. To say the course is in rough condition would put it kindly. I’ve never seen fairway grass grafted onto greens as a repair and we saw this on no less than 4 greens, including my favorite hole 15. One approach shot which landed short of the green actually had a dirt splash as the shot landed before rolling up on the green - never seen that before!

We had the course to ourselves and now I know why. I’m sorry to say , but wait til they fix it.

Not worth the time

Course is in horrible shape, at least 5 greens have temporary sod on them(looks like they picked it up at Home Depot) Fairways have major bare spots . Overall not worth the time or the money

Nice Local Course

First time playing either Biltmore courses, and I had a great time. All staff was super attentative and friendly. On a Friday morning we didn't run into any pace of play issues. The course is pretty lush for this time of year! There is some construction going on still, but the workers were very quick to quiet down, or move out of the way when necessary. Can't wait to see it when all the landscaping is done! Plenty of opportunities to refuel via the cart girl or the snack Shack, which was very nice. I like that you drive past it a few times.

This checked all the boxes for me - very close to home, good quality. Is it the most thrilling and challenging layout? Far from it. The terrain is largely flat and there are few bunkers or water hazzards. It reminded me of the golf I used to play growing up back in New England - grass as far as the eye can see. If you just want to get out and smack some balls without having to drive an hour away, it's a great option. I'm a 27 handicap who shot 100 (meltdown on 2 didnt help), and played the whole round on one ball. Almost lost it on 18, though! There is some shaggy grass off to the right that wants to eat your ball. Greens were rolling well.

There is definitely a need for some better signage out in the back at the big intersection by 16(?). Everyone in our group was confused on which way the next hole was. Luckily, a helpful groundskeeper was around to point us in the right spot.

We will absolutely play it again if the price is right!

Great Course But Only in Fair Shape

An excellent links style course with a flat first nine with 3 water holes and a very challenging second nine with extensive tee or green elevations. The elevated tee box at the Par-3 15th hole offers a stunning view of the valley as well as a challenging 165 Yd shot that is much longer than it looks! Still some bare spots in the fairways, but mostly OK. Some of the greens were being worked on to improve the grass before the winter season therefore parts of some of the greens are not puttable right now. I always bring my out-of-town guests here to play
