Camelback Golf Club - Padre Course
About
Arthur Hills designed the Padre Course at Camelback Golf Club to deliver a fun round that's tough to forget. Trees tower, landforms show subtly, and bunkers improve your golf skills. The par-72 golf course measures 6,903 yards, and has gained its renown by offering a design that requires strategy.
A round of golf on the Padre Course at the Camelback Golf Club kicks off on the par-4 first hole, which measures 446 yards from the black tees. Things get long on the fifth hole, a par 5 that comes in at 553 yards from the black tees, one of four 500-plus-yard holes. The 18th hole is one of these: It's 547 yards from the black tee to the post-round celebration.
After your round on the Padre Course at Camelback Golf Club, head to the Golf Grill, serving U.S. cuisine and a fancy Sunday brunch in the style of Southwestern country clubs. There's also a luxury lounge where you can spend winters on the patio by the fireplace.

Golfer Reviews
Great for a quick round
I played Padre on 9/23 at 3:15. Never had anyone in front of me or behind me. Played the 18 in about 3 and 1/4 hours. Course was in good shape, greens were moderate and uniform. I used rental clubs which were $60. They were Taylormade Ai Max and in great shape. Also came with two sleeves of balls. Only mild criticism would be no water on course but two bottles were provided. Would absolutely recommend at today’s price of $95.
Camelback CC
Played here a couple of times. The course is in great shape nice enough to host a tournament. When you arrive the greeting staff is excellent, however, the evening staff tends to fall short of the greeting performance. I ordered a turkey sandwich that was a total let down. Low quality everything no better than any inexpensive public course Cafe. Turkey was common prepackaged meat compared to other Marriott facilities that give you fresh cut amazing turkey worthy of Ritz Carlton 5 star food. Wildfire Golf Club food is amazing a Marriott facility
Bottom line it's a great experience to play these beautiful courses with excellent practice facility included with the green fee. I need to compliment Andy the head pro for following up and returning my calls.
It is a beautiful course in exceptional condition. Bunkers are well maintained and golf carts with touch GPS screen in great condition and clean. I’ll definitely play here again!
Cancelled my round and no communication
I had reserved a Tee Time using Golf Now but when I went to the. course they said the course was closed due to. storm damage from the previous night. Golf Now said the course has my phone number and. email on file and. they should have called to inform you. The ProShop manager said they had informed Golf Now about the course closure. I never received any email from Golf Now indicating the course was closed. Bottom line - we are the losers not the course or Gofl Now,
Always a good option
I look forward to the summer heat where I can play nicer courses like this in the afternoons for cheap. Every green was in good shape and rolled great. I don't remember seeing a single significant patch of dead grass.. anywhere. Fairways and first cut was all just like you'd want it to be. The only gripe I could say was after the 4th green I saw like 4 carts on the 5th tee box so I know we were in for a long afternoon. That's not unusual for scottsdale / PV public courses on the weekend in prime season, but in August it was a little suprising.
Course was in very good condition after aeration.
Course was in very good condition. Greens were in good condition after punch and should be in great condition in the next week or two. Only issue was the cart GPS did not identify the correct pin placements. Bag staff was very helpful and friendly.
Amazing course
Absolutely fantastic golf course! The course is in outstanding condition, with beautifully maintained fairways and smooth, true greens. The layout is fun and challenging for golfers of all skill levels, and the scenery makes every round enjoyable. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and goes out of their way to provide a great experience. I can’t wait to come back and play again. Highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a top-notch round of golf!
Enjoyable
Could not be happier about the course, even the traps were,playable.
all alone
Our one complaint was about the marshal. Our GPS told us we were 2 min behind pace. There was no one in sight either behind or in front of us. The marshal approached us and told us we needed to pick it up, WHAT. Loved the course, had it all to ourselves. some of the bunkers were not what I would call bunkers. Fairways were very generous, and tee boxes in great shape. The greens were very fair as far as speed goes. Practice facility was great. Course is beautiful, lots of trees, not your usual desert course. Very friendly staff.
Love Camelback
Played the Padre course. The course was in really good shape. the greens best ive putted on in awhile. Always love playing camelback. Dan the starter was polite and professional. And their burgers are amazing. Highly recommend
Good conditions at a high price
Had time with twosome but that wanted to
Play alone. Made around in 2.5 hours & not many playing after noon but at $175 don’t blame them.
A Very Enjoyable Experience
After checking in at the pro shop, we were very impressed with the friendliness of the staff especially Dan the starter. He was very informative and interested in making our initial round at Padre as enjoyable as possible. The overall course conditions were excellent. Adding sand to the bunkers would be very helpful. Pace of play was fine We finished our round in less than 3.5 hours even letting a faster twosome through on #11. Will try to play again on our next trip to Phoenix.
