The Biltmore offers specials in the summer for around $140 for a room. The golf course charge is very low (?50) if you stay at the hotel and includes a cart. (Every president since Herbert Hoover has played the Biltmore.) Many famous people live on the course, Paul Harvey, Glen Campbell, Michael Jordan just sold his place etc. The resort and pools are amazing, kind of like the Broadmoor. Eat at Chelsea's Cafe near Camelback and be sure to go to Trader Jo's grocery.
