The Adobe course is stately and grand, a forefather of modern design. The Adobe offers a simplistic beauty hard to find in an era when trickery is a goal in golf course architecture. When you long for a relaxing yet challenging round, there are few equal. The lush, 50 year-old fairways and spacious layout are a reminder of the game the way it was meant to be – a time when graphite was for pencil lead and golf balls only came in one color. Like the great players of it's day, the Adobe can tell you some stories.

skilled culinary team of chefs, inventive cuisine and a variety of dining venues have earned The Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa a reputation for excellence in dining. Heading the team is award-winning Executive Chef John Zaner.
Zaner has melded Southwestern, French and Asian flavors to form a New American menu. Heavy creams have been eliminated in favor of richly flavored oils and infusions.
Guests of the Arizona Biltmore can choose from a wide variety of dining venues, from a romantic supper at Wright's to a casual snack break at The Café. Each equally distinctive, the restaurant interiors were inspired by the resort's Frank Lloyd Wright design and incorporate regional furnishings and textiles.
The distinctive influence of Frank Lloyd Wright is evidenced in the interior design of the resort's 730 guest accommodations. Mission-style furnishings and textiles in desert palettes of beige, sand and ivory dress the rooms. 1930's style lamps bring a western flair to the decor while reinforcing the period in which the hotel was built. The spacious rooms feature well-stocked mini-bars, a working desk with two chairs, two telephones equiped with voice-mail and speed dialing; marble baths and double sinks, hairdryers, make-up mirror and scale.
Guests of the Arizona Biltmore may use the Spa facilities for no additional charge. Non-resort guests may use the facility for a daily fee of $25, however, the fee is waived if a 50 minute Spa service is reserved. Guests must be 16 years of age and older to use the facilities and services at the Spa.
