Disappointing

Too historic an area and neighborhood for the course to be so unkept. Lots of nearby construction and just awful greens. Beautiful houses line the fairways but the course needs work.

Expected better

I fully expected a well maintained course and that was farthest from the case the greens were in horrible condition I haven’t been to a course with worse greens for the money to play a round here you would think the greens would be maintained at least somewhat

ALL BUT ONE HOLE, #5

I could only give my honest opinion of the Adobe Golf Course at The Biltmore. It is a very good and challenging layout for all golfers, even the back Black tee box which will be enough to challenge all, you long hitters—lots of trees and lots of narrow fairways with several bunkers to avoid. The greens are in good shape and the grass was excellent even though the golf carts are rolling all over them from tee to green. However, ADOBE HOLE #5 is a disaster. It is cut short by all the construction going on in front of the clubhouse/grill. They literally put a temp green patch of cut out the grass that was once a flat fairway and punched a hole in the middle and put up the flag to resemble a green and hole but it is not even close to a real golf hole. I was shocked to see this during my round without any notice or information.

The course is a confidence builder to play tougher courses. More like a 50 course.

Worst experience you’ll have

For the price this is one of the worst deals out there. I’ve played municipal courses with better quality than this for $20. The Biltmore had dried out grass, greens had dry spots affecting puts. I’ve never had this happen but after paying over $100 for the round course ranger told me and the random single I was playing with that we would have to share a cart for the remaining 9 holes. Literally took our bags out of our carts and said sorry my manager is throwing a fit about it. The random guy and I were left shocked. layout is similar to an 18 hole shalimar golf club. Which is $15 per round and the worst course I know of. If I could give this place a zero star I would. You’ll waste your money playing here. Sad this multi million dollar complex is so poorly run from the course to the management.

Nothing like the photos

Poor condition, terrible tee boxes. Green fees should only be about $40. That would match up to course conditions.

Great Layout and love the wide fairways!

This was my first time playing here. Great layout and love the wide fairways! The weather was absolutely perfect, which just enhanced the overall experience. For those that gave this course a bad review due to the construction, and you only play once a year.....stay in your lane!

I would recommend this course to anyone and everyone!!

Overpriced

Nice staff. Other than that, It was a construction site trying to be a golf course. They may be putting up a new club house but if they don’t make the golf course more interesting and get it in better condition, forget it.

For $100/player, definitely not worth it.

Btw, best thing about the course were the houses that line the course. Beautiful. But they must be upset to look at that sub-par course all the time.

Not a great experience

Greens horrible. Course layout is pretty bad. There were range balls scattered across several fairways and greens. I felt like I played the same hole about 12 times. They were all basically the same. Flat straight and boring. Would not recommend.

Mediocre Course, Expensive

The course is fine. Its very up and down. No dog legs, no real obstacles. Course is extremely short. Overall it was fine but super pricey and not worth it

Always has good potential.

Great course, not in the greatest of shape, but not bad either. I’m a +20 handicap, so I’m just happy to be out there with friends. A little pricey for what it is, but it is Biltmore and with the surrounding multi million dollar homes, you should expect no less. I like Links better than Adobe and will golf Links from now on. Biltmore certainly beats out other higher end courses at the current price of $140 with tax, give it a try knowing that the price reflects its location.

Kevin from Oregon

Adobe….beautiful, traditional, and a true test of skill. As a 15 handicap pure ball striker I found myself seeking pins all day long. Here is a recap of my round:

Front 9: 2 birdies, 2 bogeys - even par for the course (pun intended)

Back 9: 5 over, the large crowds of people watching our group attempt to set the course record really got to my nerves

Overall great round and look forward to visiting the beautiful Arizona Biltmore again
