Thinking About Living in Arizona Biltmore Golf Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Arizona Biltmore Golf Club and the surrounding Central Phoenix / Arcadia-Biltmore golf market.
The Arizona Biltmore Golf Club is the golf arm of the historic Arizona Biltmore resort, which opened in 1929 with design touches associated with Frank Lloyd Wright and has been marketed for decades as the 'Jewel of the Desert.' It is one of central Phoenix's most historically significant golf-and-hospitality addresses, and the surrounding Biltmore Estates area -- the Camelback Corridor's most prestigious luxury enclave -- is named for and physically organized around the resort and its two golf courses.
Golf & Course
The club operates two 18-hole courses. The Estates Course (formerly the historic Adobe Course) was completely redesigned in 2023 by major-champion architect Tom Lehman, with recontoured fairways and new green complexes. The Links Course is the older of the two and is noted specifically for running directly through some of the most valuable homes in the Biltmore Estates neighborhood, giving it a rare direct physical integration with high-end residential real estate for a resort-operated course.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
This is a resort golf operation, not a private member-owned club: the courses are open to public daily-fee play (no membership required), and the club also sells a separate paid membership program (an 'Unlimited Membership' tier and other options), each requiring a one-time initiation fee and ongoing monthly dues whose amounts are not publicly published. Critically, no evidence was found that homeownership in the Biltmore Estates area itself includes, requires, or provides preferential access to either the public tee sheet or the membership program -- residents apply and pay the same way any other member of the public would. Members also receive reciprocal access to Wigwam Golf Club (Litchfield Park).
Living in Arizona Biltmore Golf Club
Biltmore Estates and the surrounding Camelback Corridor include a mix of guard-gated communities (Biltmore Estates, Biltmore Mountain Estates, Biltmore Gates, Colony Biltmore) and named golf-adjacent enclaves (Biltmore Greens, Taliverde, Biltmore Hillside Villas, Biltmore Shores, Village on the Lakes), ranging from guard-gated single-family estates to luxury townhomes built directly on the Links/Estates courses to high-rise condos. This research pass treats 'Arizona Biltmore Estates' as the representative flagship community for the area rather than producing a separate full record for every named sub-enclave; buyers evaluating a specific enclave should independently verify that enclave's own access terms.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Club amenities confirmed include preferred/member dining at Adobe Bar & Grille and dedicated practice facilities; tennis, pickleball, pool, spa, bocce and basketball were not independently confirmed for the golf club itself (as distinct from the broader Arizona Biltmore resort, which does have resort-wide amenities under a separate 'Resort Membership' program).
Location & Surrounding Area
Located in the Biltmore/Camelback Corridor area of central Phoenix, near 24th Street and Camelback Road, close to Camelback Mountain and upscale Camelback Corridor shopping and dining.

What Buyers Should Verify
- Confirm current membership initiation fee and monthly dues -- not publicly published by the club.
- Confirm whether any Biltmore Estates-area HOA or developer program offers preferential (but still separately paid) access or priority tee times -- not found in this research pass but worth checking for specific sub-enclaves.
- Confirm current status/terms of the separate 'Resort Membership' program versus the golf-specific membership described here -- they may overlap or differ.
Notable
- Opened in 1928-29 alongside the historic Arizona Biltmore resort, long marketed as the 'Jewel of the Desert.'
- The Links Course runs directly through Biltmore Estates-area luxury homes -- a rare degree of physical course/residential integration for a resort-operated club.
- Estates Course completely redesigned in 2023 by major-champion architect Tom Lehman.
