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.

A little too expensive

Nice course in a ritzy enclave of AZ. Played the Padre course which was nice. Typical park land course with a few waste bunkers. Not too hard a track at 124 slope from the white tees. Practice facilities were top notch. Fairways were green and lush and greens were in great shape but for $430 CDN it was overpriced. As a 5 handicap it was a nice treat but wouldn’t be in a hurry to play it again.

Played yesterday, course was in very nice shape. I purchased a tee time through golf now, which was still slightly more than 200 for my wife and I. Felt the course was a bit pricey, as compared to another course in Scottsdale that was less expensive and I felt was better than Camelback. It was a good experience playing there but I feel overpriced.

Nice course, too pricey.

I've played a little of nice courses. Problem here to keep is that it wasn't a $200+ experience. Played nicer courses for half the price. That's what you get in Phoenix during the winter.

Amazing fairways and good greens.

Thw perfect fairways look like artificial turf and the greens are fast with difficult pin placement. However, the holes are like mkicro volcanoes that destroys the line of putt. All normal good courses are like this anyway but if the holes were flatted back to follow conrour of the green, the course would be in perfect conditions.
