Golfer Reviews
Great Layout
Course was recently aerated but greens had filled in nicely and were puttable. Fairways were well maintained for a few summer dry spots as expected in AZ. Course is well watered so morning time will be wet, Overall group had great time on course.
Good course
The course was in good shape.! Greens were smooth and true. Padre doesn’t get enough credit being the little brother of Ambiente. But it’s a great and fun course.
Padre Course-
Fun layout with views of Camelback from many holes. Greens rolling fast and fairways in good shape for late June. Staff always friendly.
no food in restaurant Tues/Wed
Was planning on breakfast before the round but found it closed. Would have planned other option to eat had we known
Padre
Padre is a parkland style course with just enough blind targets and approaches to keep you guessing. As a result, a few rounds around this course are usually necessary to get the trick zones. The course is generally in very good condition. On this round, I did notice a few patches that were under 'repair'. On this round, the greens were fast and harboring difficult pin placements.
Terrible Conditions!
The course was in terrible condition. The fairways were bare and the greens were all scuffed up. Course was basically unplayable. The staff was terrible - the ranger is an a-hole. And you have to deal with the "members" (why would anyone pay to belong to this crappy course?) who act like the own the place. There are so many better places to play in Scottsdale area - no one should bother to play this course, which is basically a crappy muni track
Good choice
I’ve never been to AZ in the summer so I can’t really compare but I thought the course was in very good condition considering the heat. My only complaint and it’s definitely not just here but most places, I think the pro shop/starter could do a lot better to pair up singles and doubles to aid the pace of play.
stunning views while playing
Padre course absolutely beautiful. While enjoying the layout the course the view of the skyline was a plus. the greens were fast and really hard in some places. the best part was the staff. super friendly and helpful. I will be looking forward for a return visit to play the other course.
Good condition? You have to be kidding!
