Camelback Golf Club - Padre Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Great experience
Staff was beyond amazing. Course was in great shape. It was myself, another single and 2 members. We finished 18 in under 3.5 hours as the first group out. Will definitely be back when I’m in town again!
Great conditions
I let some young guys talk me into playing from the tips. The day was hot as heck! I still beat them by over 10 strokes. For the price, the course played so well. Everything was great and it took us around 3 1/2 hours.
Great Course, great condition
The course was in great shape and the pace or of play was fantastic. Can’t wait to get back and play here again.
No Water!
The title is actually a bit of a misnomer. There was water on the course, but it is water fountains every three holes, and the water is hot! When I made the turn after hole nine, I swung by the starter/cart return and no one was there to get ice or bottled water. And the snack shack was not open. Other than that, it was a great time. I love this course!
Overpriced. Lousy conditions. Poor service.
Condition: Tee boxes & fairways were inconsistent. Some were wet & mushy, some were sandy & grainy, and some had crabgrass all over. The rough & fairway around the greens were aweful; dried compacted dirt with more crabgrass. The greens were actually pretty nice though; receptive and fast.
Layout: Unimpressive. It felt like a slightly improved municiple course. Definitely not worth what we paid. There are many courses nearby with better layouts in much better condition that charge less.
Service: Bag boys, proshop attendee & beverage cart were all friendly & helpful. Starter & ranger were unprofessional & rude. Everyone in my group arrived about 20-30 min before our tee time. Starter came up to our cart as we were getting ready to head to the first tee & said we were “on the tee box & running late”. This was 9 minutes before our tee time as we were about to pull away anyways. As we drove by him on our way up, he said “we need you guys to hurry up & play fast today” as if it had been a problem before. *We’ve never played here before and, when we got to the first tee, we had to wait for the group in front us. On the course, the ranger hounded us every time he drove by. We finished right behind the group infront of us & played in 3:50, which for a Saturday on a public course, is pretty good & well under their expected pace of play.
If you want to be overcharged, harassed by staff & play a dog track with nice greens, this is the course for you.
Friendly staff, friendly layout and challenging but excellent greens.
Greens were rolling nice. Layout is easy to play. Not very challenging but a great and fun course to play for sure. Course is in really good shape for Az heat.
Great course and wonderful service
Fantastical layout and course. Challenging and in great condition. Young lady working the the snack bar was super friendly and kind
Thoroughly Enjoyed
Played Ambiente before and enjoyed it very much, wanted to play Padre even though I was told it wasn’t as good as Ambiente, managed to get a good deal and played recently. Course was great, nice layout, friendly staff and as a bonus I played well. Came off thinking it was the better of the 2 courses and would love to play again.
Overall great course
Played Camelback Padre course gout out early as a single and finished in 3 hrs! Nice layout, forgiving
