Course Conditions

We were never told that fairways were punched recently. Fairways were not in good playing condition! Fairways were mainly hard pan, not acceptable. I had friend in from out of town and not given information about fairway conditions.

A ranger would be a great addition

We realize that everyone's abilities vary, however, absent golf etiquette, a ranger would help greatly with pace of play when an entire golf course is being held up by one foursome. It would go a long way toward promoting happy golfers on the course while not impacting the one foursome's enjoyment. If anything, they might enjoy their round more because they wouldn't be faced with the stress of looking back on every shot and seeing someone waiting for them to hit. Absent that, The Biltmore golf was a fun experience.

Great Layout, will get better this summer

Always love coming to the Biltmore courses. This first hard wave of heat pounded it a bit, but I’m sure it’ll bounceback. Greens were slower than normal, but again, it’ll improve.

We’ll be back.

Simply the best and worth every penny to play

I use dot e member here and miss it more than anything and any course. Chad has been there forever and has always been an amazing to person with great customer service skills. The new restaurant, clubhouse and the redesign of the Adobe course is just a wonderful upgrade. I just love this place and it all always have a special place in my heart.

Tough conditions

Save your money, This is a good course when conditions are good. They are not. Very dry, minimal grass. Sanded greens are not consistent speeds. Too much money for the conditions.

Good Course But Needs Water And Care

Tee Boxes and Greens were much better then Fairways. Lots of scorched fairways with long stretches of no green grass. Course needs water and better care to bring it up to par. Front nine is flat, longer and has 3 doglegs. Back nine has many elevated tees and greens and is more challenging. The $79 fee is too high for what is offered. Better rates and conditions can be found at Starfire, Orange Tree and Talking Stick.

Beautiful course!

I’ve been wanting to play this course for a long time and was finally able to find a reasonable rate here on Golf Now. Challenging greens and very difficult bunkers on Links course which is the only one I would want to play.! Pro shop is fully stocked with shirts, hats and other swag!

Great for an Out-of-Towner

I think some of the reviews about conditions were overblown, or made by locals with higher standards for a course that they're regulars at. Yes, there are some dead patches in fairways, and the greens can roll inconsistent , but overall I enjoyed the layout and scenery of the Links course. Staff was friendly and helpful, overall layout was open with some challenging holes, and pace of play was fine. A few tee boxes were a little tough to get the tee deep enough in the ground, but a little elbow grease was enough to get it through the dirt/clay. Greens probably need some work, some were dry and fast while others were soft and slower.

Started as a single and got paired with a duo, finished in 4.25hrs (7:45 tee) but would've been faster if not for the Club Pro in front of my 3some who opted to play 2-3 balls for the front 9.

Coming from Orlando, FL I can say there aren't too many local courses that offer the combination of well kept, challenging, and picture-esque for the same $80ish price point. Would love to play here again if I find myself in Phoenix again in the future. If you're from out of town and can grab a tee time before 8am on a weekday then I'd say this is the perfect spot if you only plan on playing 1 round in Phoenix.

My round at Estates course

I first played this course in 1968. I always liked it. The course is not that difficult but it has Donald Ross style greens and the greens are fast. The chipping is difficult for me but I like the challenge.
