Camelback Golf Club - Padre Course
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.

Great facility
Hope i get another chance at this course! Loved it and my buddy shot his age (81) with a fringe putt in birdie on last hole!! Sooo much fun!!
Great bones.
Played with two members who made the experience even better. Thank you Mark and Sally.
Great Scottsdale Course
Camelback is not an exceptional course but it is definitely challenging. They do a great job of keeping it in great shape. It is pricey. But you won’t feel cheated. It is just interesting enough. Centrally located . Great clubhouse. Good people. Good food. A class act.
October is not prime time to play
One of the courses was open which made for slow play. Finished round around 3-3:30 and was interested in replay but club would not oblige because of spraying chemicals on the course.
Terrific Course, Fun to play, but....
So this is my second time playing Padre. First time I played from the yellow and I found the course a blast to play with wide fairways and very challenging greens. (I am a 6 handicap). Today I "tried" to play the white tees. The difference in length is incredible. They need tees between the white and yellow. Yes you can play a combo but moving the whites up a little is a better idea.
First time I played we played in 3.5 hours. Today the round was much longer. 4 hours 20 minutes. This is a wonderful course. It just needs someone to make it a bit more playable for people who think that the yellow are a little short and the white are too long.
I can tell you that we started today on #10. 450 yard uphill par 4. Not a chance on this planet of me reaching this green or getting within 50 yards of it.
With respect to the carts, they "let" me take a cart by myself but said that if they are running short of carts, I have to share. I said that due to my age and medical issues, that would not be possible for me (Covid). They said sorry, that is the way that it is. I think Covid trumps everything and safety should come first.
I will go back there and play the yellow which are a little short but at least playable and reachable for me.
Nice course!
The course was in good condition even though just prior to over seeding. I enjoyed the layout and found it to be fair yet challenging. The greens were fast with many subtle beaks that were hard to read playing the course for the first time. All in all well worth the money. I would definitely play it again.
Fun time
Nice course with great FAST greens.. sand traps could use more sand. They were pretty hard.
Greens are quick
Course was in great condition, challenging Arthur Hill layout. Greens were very quick!
Fun time
Nice course with super fast greens. Fairways and tee boxes were very good. Friendly staff. Only downer was that some of traps were hard.
Always a pleasant round
I have always had an enjoyable round playing Padre. Open layout but enough variations in hokes and green complexs to keep it interesting.
