Arizona Biltmore Golf Club - Links Course
About
The Links at Arizona Biltmore Golf Club is the "younger" of two golf courses on the Biltmore property, and offers intelligence and innovation, with little room for impatience, on a much-feted design that fast gained reverence from both local and visiting golfers. The golf course features fairways that wind amidst lush pine trees and some of Phoenix's showier houses, greens so bunkered that precision is the minimum to shoot for, and contoured greens that roll as they come. Put the ball where it belongs, and it'll show up on the scorecard; put the ball where it doesn't, and that will show up, too.
After your round on the Links at Arizona Biltmore Golf Club, head in for one of several dining options, from Southwestern to French to Asian to fusion dishes, as well as snacks and high tea post-tee.

Short course, overpriced
This course is essentially a muni quality course, but always with a premium price due to the Biltmore name. A couple of pretty holes on the back nine, but that front nine is forgettable. We won't be back, as there are numerous better values in the valley.
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….
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.
Favorite Course
I have been playing this course for years and love it. I used to play it a lot more in the past, but they built a new clubhouse and are building a new restaurant and have kind of priced me out of it. I’m sure they raised prices to pay for the new additions. This has been the 1st time I’ve played it in a couple years. Hopefully they will lower the price so I can play it more often.
Too slow
Need a starter and a course marshall.
Desperately slow play despite not that many players
Incoming!!!
The front desk staff was very friendly. The bar cart girls was very snotty and had attitude.
There were balls flying all over the course and it was very dangerous to be anywhere on the course accept for number one and number 10.
What a waste of $100.00. I have never seen so many stray balls and golfers having no clue what they are doing. Pass of play was extremely poor.
Not going back ever!!
Tee boxes need some attention. It’s one thing if one or two were primarily unfilled divots, but many look as if they haven’t been addressed in months. Some silliness putting the black tees behind the tree on #8 and the blind tee shot on #5, a par 3 is equally as silly too.
Sub par conditions
The links is the more interesting of the two layouts but unfortunately many greens were in rough condition and the tee boxes were for the most part dirt. Some fun holes to play but a few namely par 3s that are just fitted in. Also if your playing the back tees and can’t shape your driver either way some may not appreciate trees blocking their preferred ball flight.
Do not have their act together
Signage to locate clubhouse: Poor
Parking: complete cluster
Cart: Cart #53.GPS completely out of whack. Cart would constantly go into warning/out of bounds mode when on the cart part and on fairways. Constantly having to turn cart on/off and put into reverse for extended backups in order to re-engage with normal function.
Employees: zero concern when cart issues brought to their attention. Cart 53 is probably back on the course today, completely messing up someone else's round.
Otherwise, we would have had a good day on the course. Nice views, course was in decent condition. Played with some nice folks.
Great Conditions on ABGC Links
Course was in excellent condition, though some tee boxes needed leveling and more grass. Fairways were lush, allowing ball to sit up. All sand traps (and there are many) needed sand, as there was nine, apart from a dusting on top. Greens were receptive and ran true, with good speed. Rough was not terribly bad. It was unfortunate that only upon my arrival on the first tee was I told that a women’s shotgun tournament was to start on Holes 8-18 momentarily. I, as a single and first player of the day, was able to play unencumbered until Hole 11. The good news is they played fairly quickly and I was able to complete my round in 3.5 hours. This was my first time playing this course and I greatly enjoyed it, particularly with a great rate via GolfNow. BTW: Brian was a great starter/ranger on this day.
sand traps were rock hard really need rangers especially on weekends both are easy fixes for the links course
our first round of the weekend
This course was very pleasant once we teed off. no complaints. Greens were nice and medium paced.
