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.

Not a great experience.

Seemed like a relatively unorganized operation. Was waiting around for my bag from bag drop after checking in for too long. Wasn't acknowledged before i had to run down outside service staff to find my bag and get a cart. There was a tournament so understandably, it was a zoo.
Practice facility was great. Driving range, chipping and putting greens all together. Golf course was in good shape. Pace of play was great on front 9 but slowed dramatically on back. Our golf cart died on the 16th hole and had to push it up a hill. All in all not a great experience and wont be inclined to come back.

Do not play. HÊLL HOLE.

This course is extremely overbooked. 8 cart pile up on the par 3 14th, which it took us over 4 HOURS to reach. Sad part is even if I had this course to myself, I wouldn’t want to play. Mind numbingly boring layout that is honestly worse than some of the municipal courses in the area. On top of that, conditions are pretty bad and way worse that what a $110 course should be. Tee boxes are almost as much of an insult to the game of golf as much as the course itself. Stay away. On the positive note they remodeled the clubhouse a while back and it’s actually pretty cool. So idk, I guess if you pick where you play based off how cool the clubhouse is then there’s a reason to come lol. Piece of şħit füçking course

This course is fun to play. Love the layout and the views. Sand traps were dry and packed, so stay clear; greens were good. Will play again when another deal pops up!

My favorite place to play

Besides seeing celebrities on this course, which I have a few times, it is a beautiful, challenging and at times a. forgiving course. The greens are in excellent condition and the staff is beyond friendly. I Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves golf..

Great course layout

This course just became one of my new favorite courses in the Phoenix area. The views were awesome and the course was in pretty good shape. Pace of play wasn’t an issue. The course had a fun layout. Staff was really nice. I will be coming back to play here again.

Good conditions

First time I played the Links in a few years. The conditions were good, much better than the last time I played. They are doing extensive construction on the road, making it a little difficult to navigate around the clubhouse and on the turn. They are opening a new food and drink venue soon. You should try and play it before it gets too upscale for locals like me.

Pace of play was ridiculous on the links course. 12th thru 15th holes there were 5 groups on them. Finally jumped ahead to 16th and played two more holes with another twosome, then quit because we caught and were waiting again for the group holding everyone up. Complained to someone sitting in a cart at the 18th green. He said “sorry the marshal goes home at 3:00. Complained to the pro shop and didn’t even get a response. Won’t go back and everyone we talked to on the course won’t go back. A shame since they just finished facilities, restaurants and lounge wasn’t open yet.

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.

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!!
