Poor experience.

Very poor condition - especially for the green fees. Terrific staff but there are MUCH better alternatives.

I’m a 9 handicap. Shot 79 so not upset about my score. Course conditions are “ratty”. Multiple tee boxes have no grass. Inadequate sand in the bunkers.

Staff outside of the pro shop were very apathetic. Inside the pro shop they were very good.

Very unlikely that I will return & note that I play over 150 rounds annually.

Tom should be embarrassed

Horrible conditions and an awful layout. Definitely not worth the listed green fees nor the discounted fees available via GolfNow/Teeoff

I thought the same thing, Tom Lehman should be embarrased. I decided to chalk it up to not enough space, but i agree with your review.

Happy New Year

I’ve lived in the valley for 50+ years. I’ve played this course since I moved here I’ve seen the course take no pride in upgrading the links course it’s been the same for the past 25 years. The addition of the new pro shop is nice, but does not add to the quality of play or course conditions and the people working in it on January 1, 2024 were extremely rude and in the old pro shop they were always rude, unsocial and felt like they were entitled to something other than serving guests. Cart services does a great job, but the overall course conditions have never been improved upon bunkers rebuilt, greens rebuilt, new ew tea boxes installed. However, the corporate greed continues in the green fees, continued to get absurd for an executive course that’s average at best. If it wasn’t for the local Phoenicians, who paid play this course around, especially in the summer, both courses would be bulldozed and townhomes built and that’s a fact. There is no discounts or other considerations given to the locals. There should be a local discount rate just like Torrey Pines does for the residence of San Diego.

Links course at the Biltmore

Please have people navigate from the first nine holes of the Links course to the back 9. I ended up on the other course! Better directions signage and help from the employees!
And get that restaurant done!!

A great course

We played the estates course which is in a tight area. That actually made it nice because there was not a lot of desert or brush to lose balls in. Staff is amazing.

Bizarre Layout!

Maybe the worst course layout I’ve ever played! Parallel holes too close together and even dangerous by some standards. Cross-crossing holes after the green very hard to determine which way to go. For a newly built course, it was in pretty bad condition, but wven though the greens had a lot of rough patches, they rolled well, albeit, too slow for my taste. Staff was very friendly and even the Marshall was understanding and helpful. They just need to change the hole layout and put some more money toward the grounds crew and course care. Then I may come back.

Good value for the Flash deal

Overall it’s a links course with some nice signatures holes with views and a few that were just ok. The greens were really slow and some bare areas and the T boxes need some work along with bunkers with no sand. The fairways were in good shape though and rough was fair. The club house is non existent so forget about getting a cup of coffee etc. Final thought is that it was worth the flash deal price after that I would skip it.

Convenient!

I decided to play at the last minute and the proximity of Biltmore made it the obvious choice.

The staff was very friendly and the new dogs they are building looks great. I played the links course, which was serviceable but nothing to write home about and definitely overpriced for what it is.

Most of the greens are in pretty bad shape, tee boxes were hit or miss. All of the fairways were in great shape.

Nice little courser but there are much better values out there for the same quality.

Not ready for prime time

The Estates course could be good someday just not now
Course needs to grow in and mature
Greens had problems and were very slow
Surprising to see standing water in many places

Not that exciting

I played the estates course for the first time this week. I found it to be just OK, not very exciting.

No real elevation changes the greens were not so great, the sand was very good!

Next time I’ll play the other course. I’m excited about the construction they’re doing on the new clubhouse. That will be pretty awesome.
