Biltmore Estates

Really tight course, lots of balls flying around. Several greens are so firm, hard to land ball. I will likely not play again.

Great layout, good test

Wide fairways but trouble lurking in the form of water and bunkers mainly. Very fast greens, some with hard to judge slopes. Every hole is different. I love this course it’s the 3rd time I’ve played it. Very good practice facility, clubhouse and restaurant. Friendly staff. My club of choice in the area.

Not worth the money

It’s a shame that such a beautiful part of Phoenix surrounded by beautiful homes has a golf course that is so poorly maintained. The greens were dried out and patches of discoloration the tea boxes or in terrible shape. There’s so much more they can do with this course. They spend almost $200 around is unacceptable to have it being in the condition it was in.

For the money this course was way overpriced.

The course was in horrible condition. The bunkers were pathetic. No sand just rocks and dirt. Greens were patchy. This course is at best an average muni course. $50 max. Sad for such a beautiful area of Phoenix. Lost opportunity

A Resort Course

A friendly, well-maintained course that contains a few very good holes and a lot of plain vanilla ones. Dollar for dollar I would not put it on a par with many others at this price, but I have no regrets. Views are pretty.

Classic Old Style Course

While this course was recently updated, it really plays like an old outer and inner circle course. It is worth playing once. Nice to see the older mansions surrounding it being updated.

Hard greens

The Links course is in pretty good condition. However, the greens, which are small to start with, were very firm, fast, and unreceptive. It is tough when you can't land on the green and hold it, so you have to land short and run it up, only to have the ball roll all the way over the green.

We paid $100 on a Hot Deal. I think this course should be around $75. We teed off at 10:32 and for some reason they had a 20 minute gap behind us. Priced a little high maybe?

Not worth the price

The grounds were hard, fairways are narrow, staff was not friendly at all. Trying to place your tee in the grounds was so dry and hard. Golfers were all over adjacent fairways. Staff was rude, short and too busy to be helpful!

Disappointing for such a nice resort

Firstly, it was windy and there had been cancellations so that probably helped the pace of play, but, on the other hand, I don’t think the wind would have helped the greens, which were hard and quite rough.

The course isn’t at all tricky, but the fairways often run parallel and we were constantly waiting for people who had strayed onto our fairway to play their ball. We all know it happens from time to time, but this was seemingly on every hole.

The tenth runs alongside the driving range and there is no net to protect you…..not ideal!

The tee boxes were very hard and, as I mentioned earlier, so were the greens. You had very little chance of holding the green if you pitched on it.

I had good company and enjoyed my afternoon, but I wouldn’t want to be paying full price for this. Perhaps if we ever get some rain, the course might play a little better.
