The Estates Course
The Estates sits on the site of the old Adobe course, which dated to 1928. It was rebuilt from the ground up and reopened in November 2023, and GolfPass named it 25th among its Top 25 Most Improved U.S. Golf Courses for 2025.
It is traditional, flat parkland with mature trees: a classic-style round in the middle of Phoenix, priced below the north Scottsdale desert courses. The driving range, putting green, pro shop and the Adobe Bar & Grille (602-468-9160) are at the Estates.
Play it if you want the better of the two and a fresh course close to central hotels. See the Estates course guide.
The Links Course
The Links is the shorter, cheaper course, climbing toward the Phoenix Mountains with more elevation change. Cart-path-only has been reported at times. At 2 minutes by road, it is the closest course to the Biltmore's rooms.
Play it if you want a quick central round or a lower price; GolfNow listed it from $65.99. See the Links course guide.

"From" prices are the low end. Expect higher dynamic rates from January to April, with WM Phoenix Open week (February 8-14, 2027) and spring training from February 19, 2027 the busiest weeks. For a cheaper central round, the city's Encanto course posts $61 weekday and $66 weekend walking before 1 PM for November 2 to December 25, 2026. See Scottsdale golf rates and Phoenix municipal golf courses.
Overseed and booking
- Links overseed: the club site lists a closure from September 23 to October 13, then a few weeks of cart-path-only. The year is not stated, so confirm for 2026-27.
- Estates overseed: dates not captured.
- Booking window: not published in the sources read.
- Channels: online, phone or the club's app.
Nearly every Valley course closes or plays restricted for a few weeks between mid-September and early November.
For winter tee times, remember Arizona is on Mountain Standard Time all year with no daylight saving. January sunrise is about 7:32 AM and sunset about 5:43 PM; by March it is 6:38 AM and 6:36 PM. Sky Harbor, a short drive from the Biltmore, has normal January highs of 67.6F and lows of 46.0F, so a first tee time before 9 AM starts cool. Phoenix is two hours behind Ontario in winter and matches Vancouver. See the Phoenix golf overseed guide.
Staying at the Arizona Biltmore
The Arizona Biltmore, now an LXR Hotels & Resorts property under Hilton, opened in 1929 and is a landmark of central Phoenix.
- Golf: the Links is 2 minutes away and the Estates 5. No resort-guest rate or tee-time priority was found, and a stay is not required.
- Resort fee: about $59 a night (third party).
- Location: about 15 minutes to Sky Harbor, handy for arrival and departure days.
- Loyalty: Hilton Honors.
- Room rates: not captured.
- Best for: couples and history fans basing in central Phoenix; stay for the building and location rather than a golf perk.
Which Biltmore course to play
- One round only: the Estates. It is the longer, rebuilt course, with the range and grill on site.
- On a budget: the Links, from $65.99 against the Estates' $89.
- A mixed group: either works; the slopes top out at 128 on the Estates and 124 on the Links, well below the 140-plus numbers at Troon North Monument or the Boulders South.
- 36 holes in a day: both courses share an address and booking, so a morning and afternoon round needs little extra driving.
- Fall trip: ask about the Links closure, listed for September 23 to October 13 in an unstated year, and the Estates' dates.
The Biltmore on arrival and departure days
The Arizona Biltmore Golf Club is one of the best-placed courses in the Valley for a travel day. The resort is about 15 minutes from Sky Harbor, and Old Town Scottsdale is 15 minutes the other way. A group landing in the morning can play the Links in the afternoon, and a group flying out in the evening can fit an Estates round before the airport. Carts are included, so there is no extra cost for riding with bags. See flights to Phoenix for golf for arrival planning.
