Arizona Biltmore, a Waldorf Astoria Resort

Poor course routing. The distance between fairways on parallel holes was very tight, which led to a lot of stray balls from adjacent fairways almost hitting us on several occasions. Too much golf course crammed into too little space. Being behind an outing probably made this issue worse. The 11th hole was adjacent to a driving range (for members only) and fairway was covered with range balls. That was too bad, because this was a fun course to play, and well groomed. Sand bunkers were very well maintained. But dodging too many errant shots from adjacent fairways will probably keep me from returning.

With the Biltmore name I was expecting more. Average course. I played the Links side. For the $ I would play elsewhere. I did get a good afternoon rate on Golf Now and was able to finish my round. 1/2 house was closed when I reached it after 9 holes.

We played the course with another couple we were paired with. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. The pace of play was good. The views were very nice. We will definitely be back!

Overall, really disappointed. First time to play the course (and last) so wasn’t aware of where the range was. Got out there and found out the range balls had to be picked up at the Clubhouse. Wasted 15 minutes coming back to get range balls. Course was too tight - constantly bombarded by other golfers balls landing in our fairway. Pace of play was excruciating - waited 10-15 minutes on every tee box. Not fun and for the price I expected more.

Can't say enough about how I enjoyed my golf round and the Biltmore. Only criticism is a tight course and errant other golfer shots.

Would play again

Great course, very friendly and supportive staff, but no marshals out on the course. We were backed up several holes and had to skip two holes. There were 2 wide open hose. Had a Marshall been out there or someone monitoring the positioning of the carts they would have seen this. Made for a very frustrating round and we missed two holes.

It’s been years since I’ve played this Biltmore course. It’s deceptively easy for the first few holes, but it gets tougher. It can be punishing if you miss the fairway. Many holes cut on a slope, so pars were hard to find. Some holes feel like a typical muni course, but go around the corner and you’ll be surprised at the great views of Camelback mountain and Praying Monk.

It’s a great course to come practice at for lower handicaps. Greens were great. Bunkers were great as well. It’s just a muni type layout with premium prices.

Pace of play was incredibly slow. Not worth the money in my opinion.

Fun course and easy to play due to wide open space. Unfortunately I left after 12 holes as it took over 3 hours to play up until that point. Too many people on the course and half couldn’t hit the ball off the tee but still played from the tips!

No Marshall in sight to speed things up. Shame.
