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.

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.

The links

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.

Very enjoyable course...

We have played the Links Course at the Arizona Biltmore a number of time. My personal preference is for the Adobe course, but it is now closed for renovations until November 2023.

The Links is challenging from the tips, but from the mid-tees, it is quite playable. The condition of the course was excellent and the weather was perfect (not unusual for this time of year in the Phoenix area).

The only minor issue was that things were a bit backed up on the first tee. At one point there were 4 foursomes backed up waiting to tee off. Once we got off and played a few holes, the waiting was reduced, but we were waiting on the front nine a lot. By the time we hit the turn, everyone had spread out a bit and things were just fine. Overall, this is a very nice track, and a good value if you can get a twilight tee time right around 2:30pm.

Beat up

I played 96 holes over 3 days and this was the least memorable of the courses I played. I think I would just describe the course as tired and pedestrian. With all the amazing courses the area has to offer…don’t waste your time (or money) on this one

Not Impressed

Course really needs some work. I do not believe this is the standard for the AZ Biltmore. Just seemed very run down and unkept. For the price I expected way more. Staff was super friendly. New pro shop was super nice. The restaurant food was really good but rundown and dirty. Greens were lumpy.

Biltmore Links

Fun layout. I wouldn't say the fairways were generously wide but the landing areas don't appear pinched when you are on the tee box. Course was in good shape. Tees we're a bit rough but not bad. Greens were hard but rolled true and weren't too fast. Lots of subtle breaks made the greens tough but not unfair. I liked the Links better than Adobe, but they're both good courses. Playing golf in the Phoenix area in March is disgustingly expensive but the Biltmore courses are probably more reasonably priced than most.

Course doesn’t have enough golf carts

Played this course for 20+ years and they never own enough golf carts. It ruins the experience. Spend some money and buy some carts with your $100+ playing fees

Not worth the bother

This was once a fine. Course, now it’s fallen into disrepair and not any better than an average to poor muni. This course is definitely not worth the price. There are far better options.
