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.

A very challenging course

We had a blast. It was great weather and a tough course. We played the white and felt some holes were too long. A 495 yard par 4 is certainly out of my league. I would play this course from the yellows next time.

Camelback Golf Course

Have not played here in 5 years. Used to be one of our favorite venues….

Ok, it’s May7….I would say for over. $200 pp, very pricey and not a good value. Greens were fine but collars and rough were not. Fairways were inconsistent. Perhaps this is due to time of year…. It is supposed to be the shoulder season but prices still high.

I still like this track but there are better values in the PHX area.

Decent Track, but need proper staffing

Course was in great shape, for this time of year. Really enjoyed it. That said there were way too many players on the course and a marshal was never to be found. Finally had enough and drive past the two other groups on the 14th tee and drive in.

4.5 hours for 13 holes.

No efforts made by either the staff of fellow players to ‘enforce/ play ready golf.’
