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.

Looking to do more than get on the Links at the Arizona Biltmore Golf Club and have a nibble and a cup? Look into one of several packages available, including stay-and-play deals.

We were a little dissapointed with the condition of some T boxes especially the front 9. Compared to our previous experiences the course has deteriorated.But still one of our favorites.

Great golf course!

Even though they are renovating the club house and the adobe course, the Links Course was really great. This time of year the greens are scraped ao they are super fast, but really nice overall.

Great course. Awesome staff. Will come play again.

I flew in for a conference and played 2 rounds of golf. The course was in excellent condition. The staff was stop notch. Cart girl was on top of it. Had an amazing experience. Would definitely golf here again and would play here over some of the $150-250 courses I have played.

Do. Not. Golf. Here.

DO NOT GOLF HERE. Cart guy WILL go through your bag while you’re checking in. I got heckled right when I walked out for having liquid death in my bag, three of them and got yelled at for having beer. If the as$$$$$ would have keep looking through my bag he would have seen they are waters. I was seriously about ready to fight him for A) looking through my bag and B) assuming I’m getting hammered on the course. There are plenty of other courses that are way nicer and cheaper. This place sucks. I have had a problem with either a cart or staff the 7 times I’ve been there. It is a waste of money and they have been working on adobe for a year. Trust me. Only thing good is you can get done in 2 hours as a single. But you’ll have a broke down cart (which they’ll blame you too) or sh&&& attitudes.

Links

Links is better than Adobe. Way better views. Water on course. People at front desk are always nice. But there is a “ranger” or whatever. Two carts died on me, which I read in previous reviews that it has happened. I even videoed the second one, which I was on a cart path, will provided evidence. After the second one dropped off and I showed him the video, he comes back 1 minute later and tells me to stay away from the greens and hazards. Hence you I am a scratch golfer and know how to respect a course. But for him to assume I was being reckless after two carts died on me is infuriating. Him and the rest of the dudes who work outside (not the people at front desk) always have. Attitude when you roll up and you can tell they get annoyed when you ask for your range balls(Bc they have to go clean them up, wah wah). I only go to this course Bc it is behind my house and good pace of play at 2-3 in the afternoon in the summer now. Course is average shape but at least you can get a decent putt off. Don’t pay the $60, it’s not worth that at all. The $41 “twilight” rate is more than enough. GPS on carts at least. But you’ll get 50 notifications on the screen telling you to be in by 7 and a bunch of other nonsense that makes you have to touch the screen everytime to see your yardage. Annoying

Disappointed

I’ve always loved this course but had a very bad experience the last time I played there. We paid $45 each and it was 106 degrees outside. Our cart died on #16 and we had to wait 20 minutes for the staff to bring a cart to us. We played one hole and the new cart died on us and we had to wait 15 more minutes to get another cart. As the staff was pushing our dead cart away with their cart, their cart died too. We watched them pushing both carts down the cart path towards the clubhouse until we were clear to tee off. When we finished no one apologized or offered a rain check. Nothing.

Only Links 18 was open, and slow play

The Biltmore Links was an okay layout. Overall course was in good shape. Pace of play was slow. No beverage cart service either. Surprised play was so slow at 3 pm on a Monday in May???

Disappointed

It had been a while since I last played here and was surprised and disappointed with how the conditions had deteriorated. The carts were really dirty, the tee box’s were scarred and in some cases we were playing from bare dirt. The bunkers were thin and hard but the greens were in decent condition. I have played local muni’s that were in far better shape than this once proud resort course.

Definitely not worth the price

Understanding time of year and location we knew the price would be high. Certainly expected the course to be in better shape. The tee boxes were absolutely terrible with very little grass. Pace of play was awful and the course allowed groups of 5. No Marshall to help with pace of play. Would not recommend.

Much more than a typical resort golf course. I have played many top rated golf courses and this course is comparable.

I have played most of the top rated golf courses in the Phoenix area and I would rate this course as comparable. It is surprisingly good for it being a resort course. We played a very nice round with no delays on and otherwise very busy day in January. The amenities and clubhouse were terrific and I would suggest it being superior to most clubs in the area.

A challenging beautiful course in central Phoenix with the best views in the Valley. One of my favorite courses to play in AZ, you can’t go wrong here! From the best Hot Dogs at the turn to the cool old school vibe, the AZ Biltmore delivers an awesome experience!

Great Day - No Rain

We almost canceled our tee-time due to heavy rain in the forecast and I'm glad we didn't. It was the last opportunity for my brother and dad to golf together for some time and was also my Christmas gift to them. We all could have played better, but it was awesome to be together. Playing as a 3-some, we got off the course in 3.5 hours!
