Designed by the Lehman Design Group and Scottsdale resident and five-time PGA TOUR champion Tom Lehman, the Estates Course, located at 2400 Biltmore Estates Drive, sits on the same footprint as the Club’s former Adobe Course but features an entirely new look and feel.
Named after the iconic Biltmore neighborhood that surrounds the property, the new Estates Course plays to a par of 71 and measures 6,721 yards from the back/black tees – an increase of more than 130 yards from the former Adobe Course. The Lehman Design team built new green complexes, recontoured fairways and added mounds throughout the course for added variety and strategy.
Bunkers now have the classic sod-down design, in which grass flows over the bunker’s face, and are filled with white sand.
During the six-month redesign project, crews planted more than 400 new trees to add more visual appeal while helping to define fairways and playing corridors. The course has been overseeded with rye grass for the cooler winter months and has a base of drought-tolerant TifTuf bermudagrass throughout the golf course.
A new irrigation system allows the agronomy team to control each sprinkler head while using high-tech sensors to measure soil moisture and salt levels to allow for precise watering and reduced water usage.
The multi-million-dollar Estates Course project is phase two of a three phase reimagining of the Arizona Biltmore Golf Club.
