Arizona Biltmore Golf Club - Estates Course
About
Some consider the Estates course (formerly known as Adobe golf course) at the Arizona Biltmore Golf Club to be grand and stately, a prime example of golf course design in the pre-modern era, combining rare beauty with solid trickery. It makes for a round both relaxing and challenging played on lush 50-year-old fairways, with a spacious layout, reminding on of golf as it ought to be played: the glory days when graphite went into pencils and balls were only white.
The Adobe golf course at the Arizona Golf Club measures 6,430 yards from the white tees and comes in at par-71.
Due to the mild Arizona winters, the Adobe Golf Course at the Arizona Biltmore Golf Club is open year-round.

Architectural surroundings are beautiful
First time playing this course (Adobe). Easy course layout that's located in the center of the Biltmore residences. Greens were a bit slow , but course was well kept, especially for late summer . Good value with the Golfnow rate, don't think we'd play here for full rack rate .
Fun and forgiving course
The course definitely has an interesting layout but if you play here a couple times it grows on you. Not as bad as what the reviews say. Wide open fairways
Terrible layout such a nice property.
Arizona Biltmore is too classy to have a course layout of this design. A good share of the round you were either worried about getting hit by a golf ball or hitting someone with your golf ball. Some tee boxes were too close to greens or other tee boxes. Tee box markings were terrible, on one hole 2 of us hit our tee shot the total wrong direction off the tee box. Another golfer corrected us. Another hole side by side, we all hit off the wrong tee box. Some cart paths would run almost into other fairways or landing zones.
18 holes jammed on small area
The 'new' course is very tight with no space between fairways and many holes where the party teeing off ahead is hitting back toward following group on the green. One approach shot rolled slowly off back of green and was on the next tee box it was so close. Looked like an old municipal course jammed on too small a lot with just out and back fairways. Disappointing.
Not so much
I was excited to play after redesign...what I found was a lot of holes were just shortened or lengthened or tee boxes and/or greens moved....course is a bit more confusing as fairways all go together...I prefer the Links
Disappointed with the Estates course.
The layout was confusing. Some of the tee boxes did not make sense and did not line up with the hole markers. Holes ran next to each other and people were hitting into each other. The first par 3 on the back 9 had a ridiculous pin placement. Several of the greens were in bad shape. We will not return.
Late afternoon special
Played Biltmore Estate Course late in the day so only got in 13 holes (as expected). Course was a fairly simple back and forth layout, not very imaginative. Course conditions were good. Not at all crowded.
Remodel definitely not Better
Layout has changed nd definitely not for the better
Like most opinions on here, way overpriced for this course. The old course Adobe was just fine, Biltmore just needed room to build new facilities. The course is dangerous now and some greens had ground under repair even after being closed all that time. Glad I got that out the way. I'll play Links or play elsewhere.
Wierd Layout
A bit of a strange layout. Also course maintenance taking place all through the round in the afternoon without stopping during play.
To tight
Holes were so close together the GPS got confused as to what hole we were playing. From the tee boxes, it was very difficult to see where your aiming point was. Poor layout , extremely disappointed considering the price
Too tight
It was hard to know which direction each hole was going. Tee boxes were so close together the GPS was confused. I was concerned about being hit by a ball also. way too expensive for what it was!
First time Ohioans
Our round at the Biltmore was excellent. The staff were very courteous and helpful. We actually booked our round for the incorrect day and they were happy to accommodate and get us out right away. The course is well maintained and Brian was an excellent starter for us in explaining all hazards and course conditions. We would definitely play again when we visit.
First time
From the start , finding it was horrible, finding your way around was also a little toy, but it was first time, it’s a course where everyone is in each others fairway, got to keep your head up, for the price I won’t be back
Thank you for coming out to play our Adobe Course! Have you had a chance to play the Links? We would love to see you out here again!
