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.

Second only to Ambiente
Played with friends so always a good start. Didn't start until 12.50 and absolutely raced round, so really good for your focus. The views of Camelback Mountain are stunning and the course was really good considering the amount of rain that fell the weekend before.. Have played at this Club once a week for our complete stay. Love It.
Very nice course
I really enjoyed playing the Padre course at Camelback. It was in nice shape although I prefer courses that overseed the rough, but not a huge deal. It's really odd that they dont overseed the greens though, They are a semi burnt out bermuda. They were still rolling fine but the holes were falling apart because bermuda doesn't grow this time of yesr. I can't imagine that they hold up well through the Winter.
Course was in great shape and the staff were great. Double seeded for fall so lots of walking. Needed to rent clubs- struggled due to draw setup on all woods. At end of game found out there was a key to adjust the heads
Over priced and unimpressive
Paid 200 glucks for an abysmal layout - greens are dried out and there is not a single memorable hole.
So many other courses in the area, stay away from this dog track.
Tale of Two Nines
Weather played an unexpected role in our round at Camelback CC in Scottsdale this week. While the mid-90s temperature and bright sun drained us somewhat on the front nine, the unusual wind and blowing conditions that surfaced mid-round created real challenges on the back nine - with balls rolling off the greens and tee shots being knocked down into blustery conditions. Weather aside, Camelback offers a challenging spread that will test both your length and short game, with many long par 4s and several well bunkered greens. Approach shots are key, particularly on the 9th and 18th holes - long par 5's with water in play on both holes leading right up to the front of both greens. All of the staff, from the starter to the cart boys to the folks in the pro shop went above and beyond with their level of customer service. The restaurant also provides lovely views of both the 9th and 18th holes with many local craft beers and tasty bites on the menu. Definitely a must see and must play if you are visiting the greater Scottsdale area .
Everyone was friendly and professional. Andy, the head pro, was working in the shop and he could not have been nicer....ready to answer all our questions and listening to our comments. Course was in great shape and therapeutic to play....like being in a park.
