Overall good experience at Arizona Biltmore Adobe. There was a major scramble tournament in front of us, which delayed our tee time from starting on time. This wasn’t communicated to us until we were about to tee off, unfortunately. The practice facility is nice and the views from the course are good. In my opinion, it was too pricey, but sort of expected when playing in Arizona in the winter. The course was in excellent shape. It was built in the 20’s and many famous people have played here, which was cool to read about. I would play again, but most likely not in the winter at the premium price.

Had a chance to play this course on a weekday morning and had a great experience. The staff was friendly and the course was in good shape. We have had lots of rain the past week and there were some spots that were still pretty wet. To be expected! Course has a nice range and food/beverage options. I'd like to play Raven Nest again in the future.

The course itself wasn't in the worst shape. There were a few dead spots or burnt out grass in the fairway, which you would expect this late in the summer in Texas. Few greens had a few issues and were bumpy, but not overwhelmingly bad. After all, this is essentially a municipal course and for $50 on the weekend, I am not expecting a round at Augusta National.

The worst experience was the Marshall. He was a complete jerk. He demanded to look inside a cooler, after we told him we did not bring anything but water in it. He stopped us multiple times, saying we drove past the makeshift signs that said "no carts beyond this area." We were following the rules. While we were on the putting green towards the middle of the round, he got into one of our carts and moved it 50 yards down the cart path because apparently there was about an inch of tire on the grass. He was yelling, "It is not that hard to listen to me." Well, I'd say it is not that hard to not be a complete jerk.

This is the first time I've felt the need to even leave a review on this site. I respect the people that work hard in this industry and I love this game, however, this was just a poor experience. I will never play another round at this course again and would encourage you to look elsewhere if you are booking in this area. Cypresswood, which isn't too far down the road, has two courses and a staff that run laps around Oakhurst.

I have played this course many times, but made the mistake of playing on the weekend. I generally like the course and the staff is very friendly. However, I won’t be booking another tee time on the weekend. There was a 5-some that was booked in front of us. We tried calling the clubhouse around the 4th hole and asked them to check it out, but we ended up leaving after 9th hole. We teed off at 12:45pm and I walked off 9 at 3:30pm. :(
