Arizona Biltmore, a Waldorf Astoria Resort

Greens need a few more months of growth and tending.
Pro shop beautiful
Still building restaurant
It’s going to be beautiful when completed

New facilities being built which impacted the overall experience. Currently no food or beverage options except for what's offered on the beverage cart. Course was in good condition; however, the tee boxes are in awful shape.

Really poor conditions. I’ve never left a review on a course before but I would hate for anymore people to waste their money here. I’m not stingy either. If the course is pure it’s worth it but that’s just not the case here. Maybe they opened too early. Greens are not rolling true, plenty of greens with dirt patches all over the place. I didn’t score too bad here but was severely disappointed with the overall conditions of the course for a $200 round.

Fun layout. Course was in good shape other than the tee boxes.

The first problem was finding the Club House. The road had very little signs and there was construction that made it difficult to find. The staff were friendly and they valet parked my vehicle. That a nice. The course is not well defined. It is hard to see the greens as the holes are so close. People in our group hit to the wrong green on several occasions. You also must be aware of balls coming from different fairways. The pace was very slow and I joined a group ahead of me to try and pick it up. We still waited every hole. The beverage cart did not help as it stopped in the middle of fairways to serve people instead of by tees. The course looked like it had been recently sodded and some greens were already burnt. I did not find the layout to be interesting. It was mainly flat and open. This course is fine for a beginner, but not at the price. I hav played many munis that are nicer.

I think they didnt really have enough room for the course. Probably worked well with the older balls and clubs, but it’s very tightly packed into the space. The good news is that means that if your wild, your ball will likely end up on another fairway. Since the recently planted trees havent grown in yet, you will probably have a shot from the other fairway.

Green were in mixed shape. Some were good and a few were not. In particular, the day we played, the flag on #2 was surrounded by bare areas that came within about 10 feet of the cup. There was a lot of much better green available in other locations, but they chose to cut the cup in one of the worst areas.

Pace of play was ok, but not great.No restaurant due to construction. I didn’t sample the halfway house.

The layout is pretty tight. I felt like I should wear a hard hat. Course is very playable but not super interesting. Very fun to see all the estate houses around the course.

This would have been an amazing course to play if not for drunken fools who were disrespectful to other players time and the course, especially peeing anywhere and outside the bathroom walls. Don't ever go on weekends when weddings may be booked.
It really made this course hard to enjoy. It has beautiful views, the staff, and locals were so nice. Course conditions were great despite some construction and excessive rains in Arizona.
We played 5 hours and 45 minutes and could not finish hole 18. Two groups of locals who were ahead of us left after holes 4 and 12. They would likely get rain checks and certainly paid less. We paid almost $400 to play this course. It was a shame. So I do recommend this course but first make sure there are no drunken fools booked ahead of your tee time.

The course is not well laid out. The holes are much too close together. You can see three or four other holes when you play. I took us 5+ hours to play and we waited on every shot. Greens were hard as rock and almost impossible to hold a shot. Our GPS didn’t work. They gave us another cart and the gps didn’t work on the new cart either. Many other course better than this one for the price.

The greens had big spots of burn out or something else but it made that part unplayable. Wear a helmet because balls fly at you from every direction while on the green, fairway or tee box. The whole course was not good, they said renovation but for that price go play somewhere. very disappointed. Will never play here again, layout cannot change so you will always have fairways right next to each other. Lastly, resort course, they had two somes all over the course.

The course itself was fine, very average, was not expecting more. It was a cool day, therefore not very crowded. Finished the round in just over three hours. Greens were just ok for the most part, some bare patches. What was a little annoying not being told about cart path only until the first tee, a extraordinary amount of goose poop everywhere for the first 6-7 holes, washroom code on hole 6 did not work and the gps was a little off for the cart not being on the cart path which caused the cart to slow to a slow walk. Overall if the course is in a rebuilding process, a little more attention to detail is required for the overall golf experience.

The Links course was fantastic! The staff was friendly, the pace of play was perfect and the course was well-kept. The golf shop is under construction so the off course amenities were limited but it looks like it will be beautiful.

I guess with the Iowa caucus just ending we are expected to believe everything we are told.
So, this is what I will tell you and you can say it's "fake news"
I've played 'Adobe' a couple dozen times. The 'Estate' course is 'Adobe" with the exception of a couple hundred yards.
Biggest difference is it's in very rough shape, coupled with indifferent grounds crews saturating the tract.
Oh yeah... third world technology GPS that won't show you the hole layout but it will stop your cart if you pull off the path.
Arizona Biltmore has a long and respectable reputation. I am embarrassed by their misrepresentation of the 'improvements' over the 'Abode' course.
Take my review for what it's worth but you will never see me at a MAGA rally.
