My favorite place to play

Besides seeing celebrities on this course, which I have a few times, it is a beautiful, challenging and at times a. forgiving course. The greens are in excellent condition and the staff is beyond friendly. I Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves golf..

Great course layout

This course just became one of my new favorite courses in the Phoenix area. The views were awesome and the course was in pretty good shape. Pace of play wasn’t an issue. The course had a fun layout. Staff was really nice. I will be coming back to play here again.

Good conditions

First time I played the Links in a few years. The conditions were good, much better than the last time I played. They are doing extensive construction on the road, making it a little difficult to navigate around the clubhouse and on the turn. They are opening a new food and drink venue soon. You should try and play it before it gets too upscale for locals like me.

Pace of play was ridiculous on the links course. 12th thru 15th holes there were 5 groups on them. Finally jumped ahead to 16th and played two more holes with another twosome, then quit because we caught and were waiting again for the group holding everyone up. Complained to someone sitting in a cart at the 18th green. He said “sorry the marshal goes home at 3:00. Complained to the pro shop and didn’t even get a response. Won’t go back and everyone we talked to on the course won’t go back. A shame since they just finished facilities, restaurants and lounge wasn’t open yet.

Terrible layout such a nice property.

Arizona Biltmore is too classy to have a course layout of this design. A good share of the round you were either worried about getting hit by a golf ball or hitting someone with your golf ball. Some tee boxes were too close to greens or other tee boxes. Tee box markings were terrible, on one hole 2 of us hit our tee shot the total wrong direction off the tee box. Another golfer corrected us. Another hole side by side, we all hit off the wrong tee box. Some cart paths would run almost into other fairways or landing zones.

Perfect Day at the Biltmore Links Course!

We had a brilliant day of golf as the course conditions were great, and the weather was perfect. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The only drawback was construction around the golf shop, and the restaurant was closed, so we had to go off site for lunch. We will definitely be back!

Great golf course and great staff

This was my first time out on the Biltmore links course we had numerous troubles with our golf cart all throughout the first nine holes. The cart electronically had something massively wrong with it. It kept stalling and stopping, and not moving and telling me that I wasn’t on the cartpath when I was, and it was not cartpath only either. Aside from the issues with the cart that made us stop playing after nine holes, the staff were very accommodating and helpful in resolving the situation and the course is in phenomenal shape and it’s a very nice layout and the greens were also in excellent condition I will definitely play here again….

18 holes jammed on small area

The 'new' course is very tight with no space between fairways and many holes where the party teeing off ahead is hitting back toward following group on the green. One approach shot rolled slowly off back of green and was on the next tee box it was so close. Looked like an old municipal course jammed on too small a lot with just out and back fairways. Disappointing.

Links course not worth it

First, let me say that the staff was incredibly professional, friendly and helpful. The practice facility was excellent.

Now to the rest:

--Pace of play was on the slow side--over 4.5 hours.

--We played the back side, first. It was interesting, challenging, and in good shape.

--The front nine, however was awful. The tees were in terrible condition--often with large patches of bare ground we had to work around. The greens were concrete hard and wouldn't hold shots. The bunkers, generally, were as hard as a parking lot--barely could leave footprints when walking in them. Impossible to make shots around the green--even with a wedge with minimal bounce.

--Finally, I stopped at course bathrooms twice--on both nines. In each case, the paper towels in BOTH bathrooms were out. Seriously, the Biltmore can't keep paper towels supplied???? I can honestly say I have never had that experience in 50+ years of golf.

During the week, my visiting guests and I played Corte Bella, Falcon Dunes, and Sundance. Of the four, this was the most expensive course and we felt this was by far the worst experience. I would call the front nine a "goat track", but that would be an insult to goats.

Mostly Fun

The course was in good shape, very challenging pin positions for the day, greens rolled well and were quick. The on course staff was poor at best; beverage cart drivers had cart wide open speed, did not stop when seeing players on tee box, one tried to pass us near back nine bathroom and ran over curbing and rocks. On course marshal drove by us on the 14th by driving over the top of the tee box with no conversation at all. On the 16th hole, a different staff member came racing up on us in the fairway to check our cart numbers, then veered off towards the tee box. As a course operator, some refresher training for the beverage cart girls is in need for sure.
