Great Course In The Middle Of Phoenix For A Fair Price

Biltmore Links is our favorite local course. Play among the mansions with million dollar views of the city. The first 9 holes are rather level with water on 3 of the holes and dog legs on 4 other holes. The second nine winds up through the ravines to the elevated tee box of Hole #15 that is 172 feet above the fairway with 360 degree views of the Valley. If you have out-of-town friends this is the course to bring them to!

Rough Shape But Still Fun

I know the course is getting ready for aeration but this is the worst I've seen this course in almost 30 years of playing it. It does look like the Adobe (oops Estate's course now) is in good shape so I am looking forward to the Links being finished. For now there are just a lot of non-grass areas in the fairways. But they have priced it accordingly to make it worth the play. I still love this course and the layout remains great as does the staff.

Poor conditions for a prestigious course

The conditions on the front were horrible, would be nice to play on grass. The back was better but this course needs a lot of attention. Would not be back any time soon. I have had better luck in the winter months, no excuses. Make it nice or shut it down.

Helter skelter layout renovation of former Adobe Course

Not sure what they were trying to accomplish here. I could go into detail, but the course design was confusing and actually dangerous. Greens and tee boxes were on top of each other and the intersecting fairways were troublesome. Using a golf watch for distance often became difficult because of close proximity of other tees. Oh, and no practice facilities, putting greens or driving range available.

Nice but still needs work

The new course layout is a bit wonky, but overall the course is in decent condition. They are still working on large areas, so be prepared for that. No driving range when we played as it was under construction.

Great day with dad and son

It was a great family day but the course conditions were disappointing. We showed up early to warm up on the driving range and it was closed. It was a wet soupy mess that even smelled. The reality is there are lots of courses to choose that are in better condition. The golf shop and restaurant were a 10/10.

Great place

The course was in really good shape and was greatly improved from when I last played it 2 years ago. Golf shop staff is friendly and polite. Outdoor services guys were helpful. Pace of play was great. Starter and rangers were nice guys. New restaurant and bar is beautiful. Only criticism is there are a few dead trees by first tee and on 18 that need to be cut down. Definitely recommend this place.

Great course, subpar groundskeeper

While the round was great and would come back. The course was under repair. Multiple greens with sandy and just out right bare patches. I understand this is summer golf but dirt is not dead grass. The grounds crew was horrible. Refused to move during shots turned on sprinklers while cart was next to them. I got soaked on 2 holes. Summer golf at its finest.

The money seems to have gone into the Adobe

I've been playing The Biltmore for years and always enjoyed the layout and condition of The Links course. However in recent years they have been renovating, changing the layout of the Adobe and totally rebuilding the clubhouse and restaurant area. Unfortunately the driving range and practice facility are currently closed also.

I feel as if they have prioritized these projects and not upkeep on the Links course, which is unfortunate. The grass was in considerably poor condition even for summer, the ground everywhere was hard and compact so there was little to no control for any shot, and the bunkers so hard and compacted that you are not able to get under the ball at all.

The Adobe did look in great shape but I only saw the "show" holes so it's possible there could be other issues.

I'll skip The Biltmore for a while.

Greet course for the money

This course offers a little of everything. Narrow desert holes with wide open ones next to other holes. The new pro shop and bar and restaurant is beautiful and will be coming back just for those Phoenix views.

Surprisingly not fun golf course

Besides having amongst the nicest staff and exceptional lounging facilities and golf shop…the course couldn’t decide if it was firm and fast or muddy and slow. The greens are meh. Getting a good lie is a coin toss regardless of where you hit the ball and the bunkers seem like they haven’t had moisture or even raking in the past 2 months. If I wasn’t schedule to play here..it would be unlikely that I would ever play that side on purpose again. Kind of disappointing.
