Coral Gables is home to some of the best golf courses in Florida, one of which is the Biltmore Golf Course. Situated inside the grounds of the avant-garde Biltmore Hotel the golf course is a popular attraction of the hotel, along with many relaxing amenities for guests.
The Biltmore Golf Course continues to attract new players for a number of reasons. The 18-hole par-71 ‘Ross Course' was originally designed by architect Donald Ross and measures 7,112 yards. Renowned architects Brian Silva and Mark Mahannah Sr. also contributed to the course design at various times.
Undeniably impressive, Ross made the 141-acre site into one of the most enticing golf courses in Florida. The site's natural topography has been retained over the past decades, providing golfers a short walk to get to the next tees.
Approximately 22,000 square feet in the Biltmore Golf Course is covered with paspalum turfgrass and has the highest slope score of 132, with a 74.3 USGA rating. For non-professionals, a short game practice area can also be used.
The series of canals and beautiful fairways also made the Golf Course perfect for relaxation. But perhaps what makes the Biltmore more fascinating than others is its gorgeous view of the architectural masterpiece, being the hotel.
Instead of using carts, golfers may choose to walk along fairways just to see the massive and captivating design of the Biltmore Hotel. Not only for its eye-catching scenery, but the Biltmore Golf Course is also the location of some of the best golf competitions in the state.
Every year, the course hosts the Junior Orange Bowl International Golf Championships. Some of its winners included Jim Simon, Gary Koch, Mark Calcavecchia, and even Tiger Woods. But when it comes to affordability, the Biltmore Hotel offers Golf Resort packages at attractive prices for guests. A range of discounted offers is usually available on their website to suit everyone's budget.
