Rating 72.2

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.

Raw Dogged

Most overpriced course I’ve played in Az. Sorry for the bad review guys but come on management. Sounds like you need to make cuts elsewhere than the greenhorn’s fees.

Worth a visit!

I played this course in late January. A frost delay was in effect but once we got going there was little to no delay or slowness to the round. A course marshal encouraged everyone to play ready golf and keep the pace up and it showed. The course was in great shape and was very playable for all handicap levels. The driving range, pitching, and putting areas were also in good shape and plenty of room for all to warm up. The restaurant, snack bar, and pro shop were also very nice. Accessible bathrooms and water around the course. Great experience--would definitely play again.
