Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa's Adobe golf course in Phoenix

The Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa's Adobe Course turns back the clock on Arizona golf while giving you plenty of green to look at. This is the second-oldest golf course in the entire Phoenix-Scottsdale resort corridor, and it's green and greener.

Want a course in the desert state without any desert? That's Biltmore Adobe. It's actually smack dab in the heart of Phoenix's high-end Camelback shopping area, right across a small street from the five-star Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa.

A $4 million restoration renovation in 2004 by Forrest Richardson has helped bring the course close to what original architect William P. "Billy" Bell wanted when he designed it in the late 1920s. The tee boxes are huge here, the fairways are wide open and looks at mountains and multi-million dollar homes are plentiful.
