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.

Awesome as always

Pace was a bit slow, that’s on the players not the course. Tees, Fairways and all Greens were solid.

Starter needs to get a clue

Not normally one to review but I do enjoy playing here but when you show up to the first tee and the starter gives your time away it kind of ruins your day….and that’s what happened. Stater gave my time away and then treated me like he did nothing…guys in the shop were friendly and confused even offering to pay for my next round. Unfortunately I won’t be back. Hire better people!!

Awesome!

This course was amazing! A great course and the value on my tee time was outstanding! Considering the cost of a membership here, this deal could not be beat. The only reason conditions aren’t 5 stars is the time of year. It’s in peak overseed time and it’s still incredibly maintained! Absolutely worth it!

Really nice.

Great views with the mountains in the background. Very playable course. Not terribly long but did use most all the clubs in our bag. Condition was as good as I’ve played on. Really smooth greens with good speed. Pace of play for us was awesome as not many other patrons on this day. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Would play again.
