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.

Greens had some bare spots

Overall I gave this a 4 star because some of the greens had some bare or rough areas about 12 inches in diameter in various locations on the greens. Other that that the course was well maintained and in good condition. We were a twosome following a twosome so pace of play was great. I found the sand traps a few times and appreciated the sand was in good shape and playable like it should be.

Disappointed

I have heard about the “wonderful Biltmore” for the last 4 years, and being a native naturally I thought I’d give it a shot and see what the hype is all about. Typically when I am paying upwards of $100 for a round I expect to have good course conditions, especially greens. I know they have course renovations going on, my disappointment didn’t come from the construction, it came from the courses absolutely terrible care of the greens. Half of them had dirt patches scattered across them. The remaining greens were riddle with crab grass or grass that was so long it made short game impossible and unpredictable from green to green.

This is a $50 course. With the vast array of other courses in much better condition I wouldn’t waist your money by playing here.

Timing the Monsoon Season

We had a great time, however, the course had experienced a violent thunder and hail storm the night before. The course is under renovation, so there is no putting green or any practice facilities. We experienced casual water several dozen yards across the fairway in low lying areas of the course. This was inconvenient as was the fact that we were limited to the cart path due to the soggy conditions. Otherwise, it was a nice day for playing. The course wasn't crowded and the food at the Adobe restaurant was very good. I dropped my phone on the 10th green and the players behind me retrieved it and gave it to the cart girl and it was summarily brought to me by the roving ranger. I was grateful for the service and the consideration of the players I've played this course before, and I would do so again, but probably at a different time of year.

Biltmore Built Bad☹️

The links course is in terrible shape for this nostalgic course that was once an Icon connected to the famous hotel with the same namesake. Front nine is terrible shape - greens are garbage. No driving range or putting range for starters. Front nine greens need major work. Also needs new ball washers, tee boxes, flags, etc. The links course reminded of a bad muni. This place is under construction in a major way. Avoid until renovations are complete in November. The other course is also under renovation till November. Such a disappointment!😖😖😖😖😖😖

horrible conditions

sadly, the course is in as bad of shape as it always seems to be. The owners obviously won't put any money it making the course conditions better. won't play there again.

Not a $75 round golf course

I knew about construction and no driving range before booking. Staff was extremely nice but course just not in good enough shape to warrant the price, . Burnt out greens okay fairways, $30 round no more

Up the watering

I am usually a big fan of the links course. It’s challenging but fair. But right now it is in the worst shape I’ve ever seen it in. I know it’s summer and it’s hot but plenty of other courses can ensure green fairways and greens. Hope they get it back into shape soon.

As usual, the course did not disappoint. The ongoing construction was not a problem and did not interfere with the pace of play

Do not waste your money

Total waste of money and time. Only Links is open and expect big waits and a total lack of hospitality and leadership. Ugh.
