We had our gps boy work on our cart. We sent a message to change it out but nothing one came so we went and had to trade it in. Just kinda annoying but it worked out!

Oh the rough!!

Everything was in great shape and the bunkers were perfect.

Historically you could find your ball if it just missed the fairway and dribbled into the rough but not today.

Between my partner and I we lost 6 balls (2 on 9, 2 on 10 and 2 on 17) just barely off the fairway.

Groundskeepers are a dance

Great value, good conditions, great pace! If the groundskeepers would go against the player flow, it would be fine. However, I had to deal with mowing machines for 4 of the front nine before I was able to out-race them. Totally distracting and obtrusive. They should go against the flow so they only intersect at 1 hole I was racing and waiting on them for 3 on the front nine and a couple on the back. Knock it off! I’m waiving them through on multiple holes and trying to avoid their massive machines far too many homes. Head groundskeeper need to figure this simple factor out.

This is my second time playing at this course and I love it. Entire personnel were polite and professional. I have recommended this course to friends when they fly to Phoenix.

The Links

Great potential, loved the layout and various elevations. Just a few criticisms, Fairways were ragged and unevenly cut. Most areas had large patches of uneven, long grass, fairways could be better maintained. As for the course service, given the extreme heat, it was basically nonexistent. The Cart Girl pulled up when we approached 17. Maybe just an off day. I would definitely give it another try after reseeded, hoping fairways will be better maintained.

Great shape

The Estates course is in great shape from tee to green. Only complaint it’s back and forth and you hear FORE ALOT!! I would bet at least 1 person a day gets hit by a golf ball. Lots of back and forth and playing out of other fairways. Busy course even on a hot August day.

Chill

Yes, it's summer . Yes, it's hot in Phoenix. Yes, you can play a well conditioned course in the middle of Phoenix in three and a half hours - no sweat !

Tee off by 10 and you will be very pleased that pace of play will not be an issue. You will be finished before the higher temps arrive and will feel pretty good too .

The Estates course that has been redesigned by pro golfer and course designer Tom Lehman provides an enjoyable and restorative round on the original 1928 footprint. The course is very walkable in the cooler months. Course conditions are first rate, bunkers have very good quality sand and green speed and conditions are appealing to every level of skill. Have a cool one post round !

Course is in great summer condition

Great time out. Played golf with a few members. Course was in great shape. Thought the layout feels easy, reading the greens was much more difficult. Really enjoyed the round and the group I played with. The course was also wide open and we played 18 in less than 3 hours.

A fun time

The course was in decent shape considering its Aug in Phoenix. The fairways and greens were in good shape. The pace of play was a little slow but later in the day it’s expected.. The stage was very friendly.

Great courses and amenities but pace of play is terrible.

We played Biltmore 2 weeks in a row. The first week we were a 2 some on the estates in the middle of several 4 somes so we expected to be waiting to a certain extent (did not expect a hour round). This week it was all 4 somes on the links course and the problem was worse. On top of the pace we had a group of 3 behind us using us for target practice. We expressed our sincere apologies for holding them up but explained there really was no way for us to play faster while we were sitting on the tee box of a par 3 with 4 groups. They continued the practice until they finally hit one of us on hole 15. They then backed off and did not get near us for the last 4 holes (again a 5 hour round). This is a great facility with very nice courses but with the pace of play we experienced and seemingly no effort from the rangers to try to improve it we will not go back when we can play any number of courses in 4 hours as it should be.
