The Biltmore Golf Course
About
The Biltmore Golf Course in Coral Gables sits next to the beautiful hotel, an architectural masterpiece that was modeled after the Giralda Tower in Seville, Spain. Donald Ross designed the course in 1925 and the traditional layout has retained all of its original character. The golf course weaves through a series of canals that used to carry guests along in gondolas. The canals run alongside the lush fairways while towering banyan trees frame the elevated greens. Offering views of the historic hotel from nearly every hole, there are carts available but the golf course is worth the walk. The layout is popular not only for its historic scenery and verdant setting, but also for its playability. Over the years the Biltmore has been host to a number of professional golfers and celebrities ranging from Babe Ruth to Tiger Woods.

Mixed bag!
Absolutely beautiful hotel and facilities. When we arrived the only people at the bag drop we maintenance workers taking a break. Not a great look. We had to switch carts twice because of electrical issues. The course was in good condition. Pace of play was incredibly slow on the back 9. Unfortunately the twosome in front of us fell 2-3 holes behind a foresome and the ranger did nothing. Lunch was very good at the 19th hole.
Not worth $50
The course conditions were horrendous. They charge $295 and it shouldn’t cost over $50. Seemed like pins weren’t moved in a few weeks (see pic). We got there from the airport and had 25 minutes to grab food. Waiter said there was no way they could get us food that fast. One of the guys asked can we get a hot dog and the waiter looked at hi, like he was a peasant. They had no quick food except candy bards and chips in the pro shop. It rained terrible that day but that had no impact on an already neglected course. I feel sorry for the University of Miami having to use this as their home course. Kids deserve better.
Fee Driven Golf
resort course with fantastic conditions and Fun/ong layout. It isn't cheap during snowbird season but it also doesn't disappoint and the pace of play was great.
Golf Now Sucks
The email confirmation I received from Golf now had two different teetimes. So I showed up at the earlier time i and the course made me wait so I was there more than an hour early. Golf now owes an apology.
The same email problem occurred with others in my tee time.
The course is very nice and the greens are very difficult. The complex is worn down. I didn’t try the restaurant it might be OK.
The practice greens were super slow. The slowest I’ve ever seen. Then the course was fast. Threw me off my game.
Pro shop personnel was nice. The guy getting you started in the cart area was obtuse. Non-communicative. maybe it was because the music is blaring in that area.
I had a good time though, because the course was challenging and the other three I was paired up with were nice.
In summary, this is why I hate using GolfNow. If you ever have a problem, all you have is a computer to talk to which is a useless experience.
Biltmore
Nice course with fair amount of bunkers but not too much water. Liked the course layout, the royal look of the hotel, and the difficulty of the course. Nice greens and fairways. The staff was very helpful.
Finally played the 'famous Biltmore'- that's it??
For years I've had this course high on my list and decided for my birthday to indulge with my son. Child rates are $70 plus another $35 'to ride in the cart'. Sure they are junior friendly and host tournaments, but come on, adding $30 to the cart? My 8 year old isn't going to walk while I ride.... Hotel rate was $175 + cart fee. Was about to book but then TeeOff had a rate that was HALF that price! I thought I was in for a real treat! Practice green was great, decent range, friendly pro-shop, nice little restaurant with great food. Nice dog leg Par-5 to start..after a few holes, I noticed that, for a +20 golfer like myself, it seemed pretty easy. Played the whites (6k yards), had multiple pars to start. By Hole 7, I was asking why is this course so special and 'revered'? Just because it's 100 years old? Pretty open fairways, little rough so if you slice like me you're still fine. Sure it's a walk-able course and the scenery is beautiful. But for the actual course? Just another city course with decent greens. Nothing special, not worth the hype. Would never pay $150-$200 per person like the normal rate. Living in Naples now, I'm just too spoiled here with beautiful green fairways, fast greens, nice tee boxes, challenging layouts, undulation, etc. If you can book this for $50-$60 and walk on a nice morning, it's worth it. IF you want a challenge and have $100+ to spend, this isn't it. Range balls were $12 for a small bucket. They will pair you up any chance they get.
Old layout for an old golf course (100 years!). Very well maintained. Nice cart with GPS. I would go back with another good Golf Now Deal.
Thoroughly enjoyed the course.
Rom the time we arrived, to the staff, to the driving range and putting green, all were very accommodating. We enjoyed playing at Biltmore and will definitely return.
Wonderful time on a wonderful course.
We had a Fabulous time playing the Biltmore. The weather was fantastic and the course was in great shape for January. The greens were fast but overall a great time was had by all.
Over priced
Feel the Green Fees for non-residents is too pricing for what the course is. Greens were the best part of the course,
layout is okay but again from $$ stand point just okay.
A very nice old course
We were lucky enough to have a « hot deal » for this course so we decided to drive one hour to play it. The fairways were the best we have seen in South Florida in January. The greens are relatively large and are fast and true. The only weak point is the course design: too many holes turning to the left but, as far as I remember none turning right. Bizarre. Also, as is often the case, the course plays too long for ladies. However, at $50 or so, this was a steal. If I had paid $216 as often advertised, I would have been disappointed.
Top notch
It always feels like a privilege playing this course. Have been playing since I was in high school and it never disappoints. The condition of this course is immaculate right now. It’s like putting on a pool table. If you get the opportunity it’s a must play
Unfriendly Staff and Deceptive Pricing
I booked 9 holes on Golf Now for $55 and they charged me $85. They said Golf Now posted the wrong price and I needed to pay their rate. In addition, they were very unfriendly throughout the process.
What golf should never be
‘Unwelcome’ is the best word I can think of to describe how we felt at The Biltmore. The staff was rude and unhelpful- two different people in the pro shop and a starter. Overall, it felt like the epitome of what the average golfer hates about how uppity the game can be. Only writing the review because the random person we were paired with shared the same sentiment from a different occasion. Don’t get it twisted, we’re not golfers who show up in jeans and a t-shirt. We know the etiquette and know the game. Just not a place we’d return to.
I played with him in this group. He was annoyed from the get go. Personally I love this course...
We played together. Sorry it was a bummer. Course was beautiful and you were very happy at the time. Got some cheese to go with that whine?
