Stately and grand. Built in 1928, just as the Arizona Biltmore Resort was being completed, the Adobe was the
vision of William Wrigley, Jr., tycoon of chewing gum fame. Wrigley persuaded golf course architect, William
P. "Billy" Bell to visit Phoenix and lay out one of the areas first courses. Bell was no stranger to famous
country club and resort courses. Working alonside George C. Thomas, Bell defined California's Riviera and
Bel-Air Country Clubs.
Completely restored and renovated in 2004, The Adobe's hallmark is wide fairways with amazing bunkering.
The golfer is given options to reach the target - Does one try and out-drive the classic cross-bunker, or is
the smart play around the edge? This is the true spirit of golf. To choose and decide one's own fate around
the course.
With a look of Riviera, The Adobe offers a golf experience that is unique in the southwest. A parkland
setting that makes one feel as if time had stood still. Indeed, The Adobe remains one of only three
classic-era courses left in all of Arizona.
