Arizona Biltmore, a Waldorf Astoria Resort

I was looking forward to playing this redesign course and was highly disappointed. They were the worst greens I've played in years and that's including muni courses. I played it for a hot rate and would have been very upset if I had paid full price for that! You figure the course was closed for so long that the greens would have been in decent condition at least but was far from it.

The course is not ready for play

Green are mark up and were brutal

With marks and missing grass

The Estates course is not ready for prime time and certainly not for $150!

The staff was friendly but offered excuses for the conditions.

The range is soft and chewed up.

Many brown spots on the course for this time of year.

The greens are horrible, mottled, lumpy and slow.

I was told they just got overseeded . Not accurate excuse as I know the difference as I had a career in golf clubs.

The course was also cart path only which wasn’t told to us ahead of time.

Do not open until you are in better condition!

GPS didn’t work and Garmin watch did not have updated info.

Hard to see and navigate.

Really enjoyed this course. It was cart path only due to re-seeding, so meant lots of walking. Only problem we had was a couple of times we weren’t sure where the next hole was. Not well marked.

Overpriced. Terrible greens. Would not play again.

We paid approx $100 each to play this course which was essentially a dry, dusty dead track. The greens were fine but the tee boxes and fairways were dead. We weren’t warned that it was the last day before overseeing, and as Canadians visiting, we had no idea how dead a course could be. We should have been told that the course had not yet been over seeded and was in rough shape so we could decide if we wanted to fork over that much money.

horrible greens & fairways. How could you actually charge $100

Horrible. Fairways and greens. A complete goat ranch and charging $100 to play. Never again.

Teed off in the early afternoon, and after 4 hours had only finished 14 holes. Every hole was backed up and no one was out on the course to moderate pace of play. We had to stop after 16 holes due to darkness. At the clubhouse, had to just leave the cart as no one was left to meet us.

They are charging $75 + per round for a twilight round. This is currently a $40 round at best. Felt like I was playing a city muni course not a resort course.

Greens are patchy. Tee boxes are bumpy and beaten up. Course layout isn’t great either. Tips are only 6300yrds.

I’ll say the fairways were in solid condition.

They are renovating the other course so there is no excuse for the conditions to be this bad.

This was a decent course.

There was a lot of waiting at each tee with the way they book tee times.

We saw a refreshment cart only once the entire time.

Played the links course, the other was closed for Reno and/or overseen. Course was in good condition prior to overseed but it was obvious that overseed shutdown was coming. Practice putting and range were also closed. Multiple construction projects were ongoing too. Premiere facility that was worth the price.

The Biltmore seems much more focused on the refurb of the Adobe course and the new buildings than keeping the course they have open in good shape. Greens were rough, fairways were thin and patchy. Some of the tee boxes were hard as a rock. I’ve played the Adobe course before and felt like the conditions were pretty good, this was a different story.

Course was in relatively decent shape for being September. Was my last course of the trip coming from Texas. Front 9 ground was a little hard, back 9 was good play. Staff was the friendliest of all the courses of my weekend trip. Construction around the club house but didn’t affect any holes. Great experience for the value.

It’s always great to play at a Course specially when it’s under $60!!
