yards/118 slope, 5143 yards/115 slope. Water comes into play on 14 holes, with just a few forced carries and

heads measured to the center of the green from 250 yards in, and with 150 yard stakes situated in the middle of
the fairways. Pin placement sheets are provided for the 6 rotating hole locations. A golf academy is on property,
providing practice facilities that include a range, putting green and short game area with practice bunker.

The Biltmore is a very traditional and well respected golf course in the Tampa area. Though built in 1925, the
course is keeping up with the times, as evidenced by the fact that all the greens are now are outfitted with some
of the latest surfaces in turf technology - TifEagle. The property is easily accessible from the Tampa area. For more info on the golf course, visit our page for the Biltmore by clicking here.
