Camelback Padre course
Had a nice time. Course was fun not overly difficult, staff friendly, greens real nice and fairly fast. Can't wait to play the other course.
Amazing experience
Best staff I ever dealt with on a course, I will always make the long drive from my house to play this course. Very impressive all the way around.
Adobe's greens were firm and fast
Staff was on the ball from the get go, quick and attentive. Practice green was indicative of what was to come. I don't hit anything very high so took me six holes to figure out my approaches and allow for run out. The course was in general good shape, no issues to complain about even the sand was reasonable for the time of year. Worth the effort to get up there from the far east valley.
Excellent Condition
Course was in great shape, greens were firm and smooth, and bunkers were just to my liking - not too soft and not too firm. As a first time player on this course, the GPS on the cart made it easier to figure out where I needed to go.
Padre course
Enjoyed the course, the views and the atmosphere. Pace of play was very good even though the course was busy. Played 18 in under 4 hours.
The greens are nice and quick. But be warned, there are a few greens that slope towards the water and if your ball is on or near the slope it’s going in....enjoy!
Played during Covid 9 virus
Very few players. Greens had recently been sanded although they rolled perfectly. Course completely Bermuda now and looks and plays wells. I haven’t played Camelback for a while. I had forgotten what a wonderful course it is. Staff always great
Well placed sand traps
I hit 3or 4 shots that I thought were good only to see them bounce the wrong way and end up in a fairway trap
A very nice course.
It plays harder than it looks. I think the mounded greens made the difference. Very difficult to get a ball to stop on the greens.
Nice course
Played Padre during Corona virus week. Course is great track requiring some strategy to avoid green side bunkers .Lot of elevated greens with undulations that roll off back/front or in the water if overshoot. Hole 18 is a bear
Day after rain
Lots of casual water. Many streams across fairways which are normally dry. Affected play and scores negatively.
A fun day golfing
After a lot of rain past couple days it was cart path only and understandable. Found it a little strange that we drove thru about 8 or ten swales with 8 to ten inches of. Water in them I get this is a desert country and water not usually a problem but some bridging to avoid would not be a huge cost. So when you are on the wrong side of fairway and pack extra clubs to guess yardage always a disappointment when you pay this price.
On the other hand fairways excellent shape and greens running really true with very few ball marks and a reasonable speed with the rain. Was overall a very enjoyable round with excellent staff Jim the starter was a hoot. Was a little overpriced when it is cart path only but still give course a recommendation to golfers
Starter
Russ was great, extremely friendly and took time to explain course...cart girl very friendly, and enjoyed rest of staff...great greans...front nine layout was different, love the back 9 layout..
Awesome
This was such a beautiful course with great amenities.
Highly recommend.
