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.

Fun 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.

Decent Option for Intermediate Players

Recent rains affected most nearby courses, but Arizona Biltmore - Adobe was definitely playable. Apparently wide open and relatively short, I still managed to get my tee shots stuck behind the beautiful trees guarding the fairways and greens. I chose to play from the longest set of (3) tees because at the middle set was only 5973 yards. That brought those pesky trees into play, as it added over 600 yards to the course! Pace of play was good, the others in my group were fun to play with, and over all, it was a good golfing experience. Finding good courses at a reasonable cost for area visitors in March is difficult; even my hot deal was pricey. Apparently, I need to get used to it. Bottom line…the course was challenging enough and in pretty good shape; staff was friendly and courteous; fellow players were fun to play with; and I had a good golfing experience.

Not what I expected but turned out great!

I really enjoyed playing the Adobe course but didn’t really look into the layout, so I assumed differently. With 2 different 18 hole courses I actually chose the wrong course, but Adobe was a delight to play. The course was in really great shape. The roughs were perfect because they were kept short and well maintained. The greens never really sped up after the morning dew dried up, but they were in really good condition. I appreciate the ranger being pleasant even though the threesome in front of us left us behind. He came around and wasn’t pushing us to speed up even though the last three holes we were getting pushed by the foursome behind us. Overall it was a nice course. The price could have been a slight cheaper but it’s peak season so what can I say. I commend the rangers and staff for their their friendliness and professionalism. Great experience…

Good golf course

Nice course, a lot of undulations on the greens, aliitle slow, but in great sharpe. Some water, good sand in the traps. Fairways wide so driving straight not a premium. Scorecard for 1 st hole says par 5, but only 358, yards, so some error there.

Not Impressed

Course really needs some work. I do not believe this is the standard for the AZ Biltmore. Just seemed very run down and unkept. For the price I expected way more. Staff was super friendly. New pro shop was super nice. The restaurant food was really good but rundown and dirty. Greens were lumpy.

Biltmore Links

Fun layout. I wouldn't say the fairways were generously wide but the landing areas don't appear pinched when you are on the tee box. Course was in good shape. Tees we're a bit rough but not bad. Greens were hard but rolled true and weren't too fast. Lots of subtle breaks made the greens tough but not unfair. I liked the Links better than Adobe, but they're both good courses. Playing golf in the Phoenix area in March is disgustingly expensive but the Biltmore courses are probably more reasonably priced than most.

Perfect conditions on an easy course.

I booked this course as it was close to where I was staying and it had some favorable times while I was in the area for a separate event.

Layout is similar to a muni with holes weaving back and forth without the desert/unplayable areas or homes between the holes as seen in most modern desert courses. There is almost no way to get yourself in real trouble and my score (par) reflected the 115 slope and perfect conditions of the course including fairways and greens.

The facility was undergoing a complete renovation and I think it will be amazing when it is opened. Staff was great and attentive, even when I showed up the day before just to hit balls at the practice area.

Overall, the course itself is unremarkable except for the hotel-sized homes around the boundaries of the golf course and what looks like an incredible new clubhouse.

Course doesn’t have enough golf carts

Played this course for 20+ years and they never own enough golf carts. It ruins the experience. Spend some money and buy some carts with your $100+ playing fees

Grossly overpriced. A pedestrian unimaginative mucnicpal type course with resort rates. Would not play here again. Green fees should be about $70.
