Some consider the Estates course (formerly known as Adobe golf course) at the Arizona Biltmore Golf Club to be grand and stately, a prime example of golf course design in the pre-modern era, combining rare beauty with solid trickery. It makes for a round both relaxing and challenging played on lush 50-year-old fairways, with a spacious layout, reminding on of golf as it ought to be played: the glory days when graphite went into pencils and balls were only white.

The Adobe golf course at the Arizona Golf Club measures 6,430 yards from the white tees and comes in at par-71.

Due to the mild Arizona winters, the Adobe Golf Course at the Arizona Biltmore Golf Club is open year-round.

Resort course

Course is pretty packed into a small area. Tee boxes and greens really close together. Had a few fliers descend on us.
Well kept and pretty decent hole layouts.
Kind of expensive but understandable as it is in a top class resort.

Mediocre Course, Expensive

The course is fine. Its very up and down. No dog legs, no real obstacles. Course is extremely short. Overall it was fine but super pricey and not worth it

Just picked the wrong date to play

Play on Friday during WM Phoenix Open. A lot of golfers were in town. The pace was slow and had to wait on every hole. It was certainly not worth $180 for the round.

Vanilla course, excellent condition

Course was in excellent condition with a decent driving range. Layout was pretty dull. Other than mansions lining the course, there were not many memorable features. I would play it again for a more reasonable price.

Cheap muni

Ran out of carts, waited 45min past ttime and finally cancelled my round.
Combination of packing the coarse and not enough carts is bad combo.
Blamed it on frost, but the club was in kias.
