The Links Course is one of two golf courses at the Arizona Biltmore Golf Club in Phoenix, situated near the Phoenix Mountain Preserve adjacent to the historic Arizona Biltmore Hotel. It was built in 1979 and designed by architect Bill Johnston, making it the older of the club's two courses following a later renovation by Forrest Richardson. The course has notable elevation change for the Phoenix area, with tree-lined fairways, several lakes and a par-3 15th hole perched on a mountainside with a steep drop to the green. It plays to a par of 71 across 18 holes at roughly 6,300 yards. The Links Course operates as part of a resort golf facility, available to hotel guests and members along with public tee times booked through the club's pro shop.

The Arizona Biltmore's original Adobe golf course opened in 1928 in the Biltmore Estates neighborhood of Phoenix, designed by William Bell and sited near the Arizona Biltmore Hotel and Camelback Mountain. It was one of the state's oldest courses and long carried the Adobe name. In 2023 the club completed a renovation led by architect Tom Lehman that reshaped tees, greens, and bunkers, removed a hole, and rerouted portions of the layout; the course reopened in 2024 under a new name, the Estates Course, reflecting the surrounding upscale neighborhood. It now plays to a par of 71 at just under 6,700 yards from the back tees. The club operates alongside a second course, the Links, and is open to members and the public, with a clubhouse, restaurant, and views of downtown Phoenix and the surrounding mountains.

Papago Golf Course is a municipal layout in Phoenix set beneath the red sandstone buttes of Papago Park, with the landmark Hole-in-the-Rock formation visible from parts of the property. William F. Bell designed it and it opened in 1963, making it one of the older public courses in the valley. A major renovation completed in 2008 restored and modernized Bell's design, including work around the par-3 11th's lake and the risk-reward par-5 ninth. Papago serves as the home course for Arizona State University's golf teams. Its mature trees and open, parkland-style fairways set it apart from the desert-target courses common elsewhere in Phoenix.
