Biltmore Golf Course Miami

The Biltmore golf course is what you would expect of a premium resort golf course. The course itself is pristine and wide open with easy roughs. Ideal for someone looking to have an enjoyable golf experience, without too much adventure. The fairways are so wide that slicers and hookers won’t have much difficulty. Difficulty is added to the course by high walled sand traps with overhanging lips, so no rolling through them. The greens are also difficult from being lightning fast and undulating, that will take getting used to. The facilities are first rate, with everything that you could ask for. Lots of valets and golf carts with comfortable padded seats, towels and tees. Plenty of air conditioned restrooms and water and ice machines on the course. A grass practice range is available with pitching, chipping and putting practice areas. The only let down when I went was no help with golf bags from the drop off area to the check in area

Interesting historic design with decent conditions and surly service. We stayed at the hotel and played one round. The range was not great. It was mats only, with beat up balls, and you can’t hit driver. There’s a small chipping area but beware - the staff will yell at you to pick your balls up, even if you knock them off the green. There’s a nice practice green that’ll show you want you can expect from the greens on the course. Pace was what you’d expect from a resort course. We waited on most shots, but it wasn’t egregious. The greens were in good shape and made the course fun. Fairways, bunkers and rough could use some attention. A lot of the holes were similar and kind of blended together. There’s a couple of great holes that cross a river, and the book end par 5s are gettable. The pro shop was nice, but the staff couldn’t be bothered to help with anything. All it all it was a fun round with acceptable conditions. I’d play the track again, but I wouldn’t seek it out or pay a premium. Customer service could certainly improve.

The worst experience we’ve had in our entire family golf history. We arrived at the course as three adult golfers and our 5-year-old son, who obviously can’t play all 18 holes yet and only has three small golf clubs. We fully paid for his game. At hole 1, the starter stopped us and argued that we only had three bags instead of four. Yes, we don’t have four, because our 5-year-old son has only three small clubs, which he keeps directly in the buggy so he can easily reach them. The starter insisted we must have four bags if we wanted to play. He refused to acknowledge the absurdity of such a rule when our little son wouldn’t even be able to take clubs out of a regular golf bag by himself. The starter insisted that only three golfers could play. And because it was Friday, even our 5-year-old son couldn’t just ride along with us. Because it is allowed only from Monday-Thursday. I can’t even describe the absurd situation the starter put us in. He even made our son cry, saying we couldn’t play — poor kid, heartbroken, kept saying he never wanted to play golf again. Thank you so much, Biltmore Golf Course, for this trauma to a little future Tiger Woods, who has loved golf up to this day. Rules are important, but sometimes it doesn’t hurt to apply common sense, humanity, and to realize that your attitude can have a negative impact on the young generation, who still believe the (golf) world is a good place.
