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.

WOW! What a day!

Our group absolutely loved playing Camelback Padre. Had 8 of us out for mid-morning tee times and I cannot express how friendly the staff was, how cool the course layout was, and how much fun we had at the restaurant after. Top notch club all around. Our group will be back and we’re thankful to the staff for enhancing our experience!

Fun course, thin fairways, some water

We played the Padre course and had a fun time. The driving range and tee boxes are in excellent shape. The fairways are thin and there is occasional water to keep your game sharp. Make sure you take a moment to enjoy the surroundings. The holes are laid out perfectly within the mountains and homes, very beautiful scenery. Overall, a great round of golf

A Great Day On The Padre Course

Lunch in the clubhouse before golf. Excellent practice facilities. Pace of play was less than four hours. That may be a result of the ten minute tee time intervals. A great staff especially the "Bag Drop" team and "Starter". Some of the sand in a few of the fairway bunkers could be softer.

Great course and not easy !

The course was in great condition and have very nice complimentary drining range and practice area. The starter was fantastic ! Very friendly and welcoming ! Padre course is between houses, so you need to be careful not to make errand shots. Also, you must look carefully on landing area otherwise your ball will easily run into water or sand. Typical Arthur Hills design ! The course looks easy but tricky. All in all, this is one of must play course in AZ. Highly recommand.
