Very enjoyable course...

We have played the Links Course at the Arizona Biltmore a number of time. My personal preference is for the Adobe course, but it is now closed for renovations until November 2023.

The Links is challenging from the tips, but from the mid-tees, it is quite playable. The condition of the course was excellent and the weather was perfect (not unusual for this time of year in the Phoenix area).

The only minor issue was that things were a bit backed up on the first tee. At one point there were 4 foursomes backed up waiting to tee off. Once we got off and played a few holes, the waiting was reduced, but we were waiting on the front nine a lot. By the time we hit the turn, everyone had spread out a bit and things were just fine. Overall, this is a very nice track, and a good value if you can get a twilight tee time right around 2:30pm.

Very Narrow course, pace of play monitored

Course was extremely narrow with fairways very close together. We often had golfers on our fairway and unfortunately, my husband visited a few of the wrong fairways. Club house and grounds under constructions. Many tee boxes were in poor condition and one green was under construction. The driving range was also close to the fairways and several fairways were littered with range balls. I personally was standing on the 17th green getting ready to putt and was hit by a range ball on my calf. Very unexpected and left quite the bruise. There was also a course monitor that kept harassing the group in front of us to speed up because they were two holes behind the group in front of them. Our pace of play was 2 hours and 5 minutes per 9 holes. That is quick enough and irritating to get constantly nagged to speed up just because the group in front was playing faster. He even tried to get us to jump in front of the group in front of us and skip a hole. We didn't

First timer

First time playing this course and enjoyed it! they were doing some construction near the clubhouse which made it a bit confusing. But I would play this course again given the same price!

It was a good value for the price.

I usually play the Links, but Adobe was less expensive. Glad I did, it was a very enjoyable round.

Forgiving course in great condition. A little construction has changed yardage but still challenging. Be careful - lots of people yelling Fore

Living off their reputation

Was excited to return to Biltmore’s Adobe after my last great round there pre-Covid… it is now a disappointment.

All kinds of construction, filthy, unfriendly, dry/cement greens, green fairways but totally tracked up, broken amenities (liability exposure everywhere from uneven construction dirt walkways to ball washers with dangerously sharp shattered handles)…. Clearly this course is rebuilding after Covid too.

Staff ignored guests as they coddled their semi-private members. Not worth the full green fees today, but the promise for tomorrow remains possible.

Beat up

I played 96 holes over 3 days and this was the least memorable of the courses I played. I think I would just describe the course as tired and pedestrian. With all the amazing courses the area has to offer…don’t waste your time (or money) on this one

Good warm up course

It's a typical resort course. It's hard to get into trouble so if you're hooking or slicing, there's still a chance at par. The greens were shaggy and bumpy (a lot of rain lately) but it seemed like no one was fixing their ball marks. That's what you see at cheap municipal courses. Cart girl came by on the second hole and never saw her again and this was a Friday afternoon. BTW, the homes out there are ridiculously nice.
