I was lucky enough to play in an exclusive charity tournament last month at the Links Course here. The course is old with many large trees that winds through the Biltmore neighborhood. Because of it's age, the trees are large and come into play on many holes. That's what makes it fun.
The front 9 of the Links course is very flat, while the back 9 runs through the rolling hills and offers great views of Camelback Mtn and other area landmarks. The 15th hole is a Par 3 that has a great view from the elevated tee.

The biggest downside to this place is the age of it's facilities. The clubhouse is old and very small. So is the pro-shop. The parking lot is tiny too. Because of these limitations, the post-tournament activities are staged outside...which isn't too great when you've been playing in the hot sun all day....I'd rather be inside a cool, air-conditioned building than out in a sweltering hot tent.
Overall, the event and day of golf was fun and for a good cause. I think if they invested some money on course updates and new facilities, it could be a 5 Star course. For now, it gets 4 Stars from me.
