Overview:
Stately and grand. Built in 1928, just as the Arizona Biltmore Resort was being completed, the Adobe was the vision of William Wrigley, Jr., tycoon of chewing gum fame. Wrigley persuaded golf course architect, William P. "Billy" Bell to visit Phoenix and lay out one of the areas first courses. Bell was no stranger to famous country club and resort courses. Working alonside George C. Thomas, Bell defined California's Riviera and Bel-Air Country Clubs. Completely restored and renovated in 2004, The Adobe's hallmark is wide fairways with amazing bunkering. The golfer is given options to reach the target - Does one try and out-drive the classic cross- bunker, or is the smart play around the edge? This is the true spirit of golf. To choose and decide one's own fate around the course. With a look of Riviera, The Adobe offers a golf experience that is unique in the southwest. A parkland setting that makes one feel as if time had stood still.
Indeed, The Adobe remains one of only three classic-era courses left in all of Arizona.

Adobe Course
Overview:
The younger of the Biltmore family. Smart, fresh and a bit wild. This celebrated layout marked the renaissance of the Arizona Biltmore, creating new neighborhoods and open spaces surrounding the original grounds of the Arizona Biltmore Resort. The Links Course sports rolling fairways, desert ravines and five lakes. Taking a cue from the seaside links courses of the British Isles, the bunkers are deep and set tight to greens. And, from atop the 15th tee, one can see the skyline of Phoenix, Scottsdale and distant mountains. A combination of desert golf mixed with a journey through cool pines and tranquil lakes. Here you will find no two holes are alike - and no two days will ever play the same. Multiple tees, combined with large greens, creates endless possibilities for course set-up and change. The Links is about strategy and shot-making - heroic shots and demanding accuracy.
