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.

Wouldn’t pay that amount again

As an Arizona resident, it’s getting hard to play more than a couple rounds a month with the pricing. The price for this course was nearly $300. While I do like Padre, I don’t think it’s a top 30 course in the state but they charge like a top 5.

Great service with friendly efficient staff

Unfortunately it had rained the day before so some of the course was under water

Slow play also blighted the round but the course was in good condition and the greens superb

Just ok

Staff was very friendly …driving range was nice. Pace of play was ok. The course was a little beat up. Fairways were average but the rough was really beat up. Greens were above average. At $250 I would have expected a lot more

Very Disappointed

I have played this course before and has a decent experience. I prefer the Ambiente course but Padre isn’t bad. Anyway, based on my previous experience I took my wife and a friend from out of town to play here. The desk staff was nice and friendly. We at lunch in the bar/restaurant which was great (highly recommend the chili). We met the starter and he was not friendly or welcoming at all. We played our round in a little over 4 hours, not bad. After our round we dropped off our carts and no one was there, so we unloaded and then they guys come from the cart shop asking if we would like our clubs cleaned (which I thought was a given). We said yes, they cleaned them so I gave them a healthy tip $20. Then they all left without offering to help take the bags. I asked the manager if they were in a hurry and he glared and did nothing. Anyway very disappointing and probably won’t go back, especially for the price I paid.

Not a bad course, just slow with group outings involved

I never would have booked this course if I was aware of corporate outings being put out in the middle of the day.

Extremely slow play once we caught up with the "scramble". Not again.
