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.

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 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.
