Camelback Golf Club - Padre Course

Beautiful view from many holes especially 9/18. Great staff especially the starter. Good value.

Went to the course as a single and the bag guys hooked me up with another single who plays her quite a bit. Drove me to the range and put my clubs on his cart. Turned out we have a mutual friend. We’re joined by a couple and had a very pleasant day. Course was in great shape, greens were fantastic. Played in 4 hours so pace was very good. Would recommend the Padre course!

What an enjoyable course. Got into trouble a few times when water appeared that was unseen from where I was playing a shot. Greens are fast and true, although a few have severe slopes that can't be seen from 150+ out. I really enjoyed the Black/White combo at a little over 6600 yds. I will enjoy it even more the next time I play it as there are several holes I will play differently. But beautiful to the eye with dormant rough and well defined, lush fairways.

This course is well laid out with lush fairways and perfect greens. The rough had dormant grass and we were not allowed off the cart paths at all.

At my age and considering my health, that was a bad surprise. Notification on that prior to teeoff with the option of cancelling would have made my day much better. Played with a 39 year old who has been in the golf business for 22 years and it showed in his prowess on the course. Very Cool!

Their greens are exceptional and interesting. Somehow they keep their bermuda greens all year round. This course is in beautiful condition.

Have played here many times and the course is in the best shape ever. Fairways were beautiful and greens that are fast and true. As is the case with most courses in the area the only real complaint relates to the lack of or inconsistent sand in the traps.

The course was in decent shape. It had just reopened from its reseeding. I was not thrilled to learn on the 1st tee that it was cart path only, that needs to be communicated earlier and on golf now.

It's much more open than most AZ courses, which makes it more forgiving. Hole 10 is impossibly long par 4 up hill. Two good shots from a mid to high handicapper will not get you home in regulation.

I wouldn't go out of my way to play this course but it was well worth the Hotdeal fee!

The Padre course had just been aerated and it was cart path only. I was not informed of this or i would have selected another course.

Enjoy the pictures of the water cause that’s where your ball will probably be. With some fairways being only 75ft wide and sloping towards the water, well that’s where they’ll bounce to. The greens are all elevated so chip and run is out. And if the green has water beside it it will slope towards it. Save your money and play elsewhere. If you were close maybe but if you have to drive, go elsewhere. Way better courses than this.

Greens and tee boxes beautiful. Fairways very good. A little slow play though.

The greens were in very good condition. Putted true and held shots.

Too much $ for mediocre fairways

Greens were fine

you get to hit most of the clubs in your bag. greens were slow but fair

I always try to balance the negative with a positive when writing a review. Let's start with the positives. The greens were in great shape for mid-summer and the course was in overall good condition. Had to roll the ball a few times off bare spots and the tee boxes were uncut. But overall this course offers a pleasant experience. Now for the negative. The day we played was 112 degrees and the ice in our cart cooler melted pretty quickly. When we asked the cart girl for more ice, we were told that was the job of the guys at the clubhouse cart barn. Thank goodness she gave us 1/2 scoop of fresh ice. This came off as being very inconvenient for her. Needless to say, no beverage purchases from us. And no tip for her. Her poor attitude notwithstanding, the round of golf overall was enjoyable.

Usually it's just me that these things happen to but here we go anyway.

Arrived at the course and parked where I always do in behind the putting green for the Ambiente course.

Then walked into the golf shop to check in. Gentleman at the counter was polite and professional no challenges here.

Picked up the cart for the day and drove over to the spot right in front of the "No carts Allowed in the parking lot" sign and parked there. Upon returning to the cart with our clubs we were scolded by an outside staff member for parking in the employees parking lot! There are NO signs indicating NO PARKING. This rude individual also said it was because they don't want carts in the parking lot. Well we weren't in the parking lot we were parked in front of the sign that states, "No carts Allowed in the parking lot" So not getting off to a good start.

Next, we went to warm up and after completing that we went to tee off. GPS didn't want to work so back to outside services who informed us just to drive back to the tee and it should begin to work, which it did.

While playing the front and using my laser we noticed yardage off by as much as 15 yards on some holes and reported it at the turn where we were informed yeah you can't really use those only to bunkers and hazards!

Well if the facility is aware of the problem shouldn't they fix it? Or at least inform the players of the error?

On 10 we let a faster twosome through and when walking off the green the Marshall asked us if we just jumped in on 10?

He stated he was just beginning his shift and wasn't sure what was going on.

Well wouldn't you find out first then ask? We told him we always let faster players through and it was the second group we had let through we aren't slow as we were just a twosome and finished in a round 3 hours but we still do understand etiquette!

So when going to a course to relax and play golf you really don't want to be harassed by the staff and the GPS should be working properly or turn it off.

This by far was one of the worst golfing experiences I've ever had! I have been playing golf for over 50 years and worked in the golf business for over 25 years!

We did nothing wrong but were treated like trespassers.

I have always enjoyed both 18's at Camelback but it'll be some time before I return.

I think the staff should investigate before they accuse. And to remember, as I do, when working at a course I am here to serve not be served!

This is my first review and it's only because it was such a bad experience that hopefully management will take note and advise outside staff to be more helpful than hurtful.
