Arizona Biltmore, a Waldorf Astoria Resort

Invited my friend to play this beautiful course. Starting at 2:30pm we where able to play 18 holes before dark 🤩

A tournament of retired baseball ⚾️ players left the course after we tee’d off on the 1st hole.

Great practice facility. Estates Course easy. No trouble. Greens were good shape and FAST.

Got a Golfnow credit so made it “ reasonable” but I would not pay regular rate… too expensive for what it is. Not insulting the course just being realistic. Green fees are too much

Staff is wonderful, course condition was great; most of the greens were in excellent condition. The only downside was pace of play; waited at just about every hole.

Staff was very helpful from start to finish. Course was in great shape.

A fun course, many wide fairways, many challenges.

Greens rolling great. Fairways in good shape. Staff friendly. Too bad it gets too expensive in the winter.

I enjoyed the golf course. The greens were firm and fast. The rough was way too long to the point that you could easily lose a ball. The speed of play was slow as it took 5 hours to play.

The bar serving the patio and outside area could to a lot better job. I was sitting on the patio for 15 minutes and when a server finally made it to the patio she went to a table of ladies that had just sat down and took their orders and completly ignored me.

The course is super tight with houses on every hole. Not enjoyable at all. I left a Bluetooth speaker in the cart and when I went back 30 mins later it was gone.

Course has a lot of overwatered/water logged areas, which made it tough to get in/out of my cart without stepping in mud. Course layout was funky and hard to follow. There were several dried out brown fairway areas. There are several holes where you do not quite know where to hit your ball to . On some holes, It was hard to see the greens. The course was cart path only….. not my favourite…. Also, the tee markers were metallic, making it confusing to know from which colour you were hitting , as the sun washed them out. Staff were friendly and the views were wonderful.

If you like playing between residential and commercial developments on golf holes that have virtually no connection then this is the course for you. The warning that you are responsible for any damages to adjacent properties ramps up the anxiety as the opportunity to have a wayward shot take out a window or a BBQ exists on most of the holes. If you like this course then you will love Starfire.

Unique for the valley. Disappointed with greens. I expect fairways to improve after the overseed.

The pace of play was terrible.. they allowed 2 kids to go out in front of our group walking the course and not just them slow it was the entire course.

There was at one point 3 groups behind us waiting to tee off because of these kids.

The course itself was in beautiful condition and the layout was great, but I would never play here again.

Additionally, the website and Golf Now app said that the driving range was opened after Labor Day. We arrived an hour early to warm up and it was closed, and there was no pitch or putt to practice before the round.

Would not recommend this course ever to anyone.

Our first time since the redesign, which is very nice, although as others have commented, there are a lot of wayward shots and golfers from other fairways on our fairway. Given the heat, the course and new trees are in great shape.

The only two negatives were our arrival experience and with the golf cart.

We arrived 45 minutes before our tee time, the new (beautiful) restaurant adjacent to the pro shop also has very, very large meeting space. There was a giant coffee meeting of realtors, resulting in absolutely no parking. There was a valet, but after 13 minutes of no movement in that line, we backed out and followed the bag attendant's advice to park in the Biltmore garage. This is 1/4 mile away, and it already was 90 degrees at 9:30 am. Walking back in the heat on asphalt was not fun and we no longer had time to warm up at the range or putting, barely making our tee time in a chaotic fashion. So, check ahead!

The staff couldn't be nicer, there is plenty of water, but we also experienced a problem with our cart on the last 3 out of 4 holes. It would prohibit us from moving forward, even though we were on the cart path. Our other playing partners had no problem. Multiple times we had to back up for over 50 yards, before we could move forward. Very frustrating. The staff said they had this problem before this summer with some carts. They did give us a ride back to our car, which was most appreciated.
