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.

Variety

The variety of holes makes Links interesting and challenging. Just enough water and traps to get your attention yet allow bale outs when necessary. Greens could have been a little softer and the traps a little more consistent

Fun in the sun

The links course is definitely a fun challenge with some beautiful scenery in an amazing area of Scottsdale .
While it is called the “ links “ course this is not links golf but no big deal as it is a fun and challenging little course.
The greens on the front side are on the smaller side so it’s best to go for the center of the green .
The course conditions however when I played we’re not what was expected with a price tag of 168 bux for 18 .
Tee boxes were barren and some fairways were shaggy .
Overall I was happy with the day because how can you not enjoy perfect weather in a perfect place like Scottsdale .

Very nice course

The Biltmore Links course is very scenic, playable but still challenging. The pace was good for a Saturday. The staff was helpful and friendly. Fairways were excellent and the greens were fast, true and in great shape.

The only reason I don’t rate this course with 5 stars is because of the very poor condition of the tee boxes. I could barely get a tee into the ground it was so hard and there was very little grass anywhere to be found. The tee is the only place you can and should have a perfect lie but it was the opposite of that. The tees are sloped irregularly and basically like a dirt patch. More of an impact on par 3s but bad esthetics too. I realize that round counts are off the charts but they could do better.

Nothing special about this track, but it’s priced as a top resort course.

Biltmore Links

Tee boxes on some holes were basically sand. Many people weren’t fixing ball marks on greens. Course was still fun to play!

Staff were legit..course was middle of the road.

First time playing the Biltmore "Links"...
Inside/outside staff were very courteous and accommodating even for a busy Saturday. Unfortunately the course didn't quite match what the price tag asked.
Pros..Greens were perfect and rolling true
Cons..Tee boxes were hammered, and sand traps were hard and somewhat unrealistic to play from.
Paid $150+ and could maybe cut that in half for what the course delivered.

Great Except the Tee Boxes

I really love this course. Had an awesome pace of play. The only down side were the tee boxes. They were in pretty rough shape, but the rest of the course was great.

Traditional course

This course seemed more like an older traditional course with great views. Especially the view from the back tee on hole #15.

Not worth the money.

Not worth the price, many tee boxes do not have grass, also very little sand in the traps.
