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.

Great Course
This is the ‘parkland’ style course of the two at Camelback. Course conditions are excellent. Greens were fast and true until a late afternoon rain slowed them down. Perfect time of year to play Padre.
Camelback Padre
Have played the Padre course twice recently and it was in excellent condition. Interesting layout with water on several holes. Greens roll really nicely.
Fun and Challenging!
Great course conditions today, greens fast and true, fairways great all around.
Fun course, your shot selection will be challenged by bunker placement and a few water holes. Many of the greens are domed so land them true and soft...or roll off.
We would do this again.
Superb
Great course, amenities & staff. Highly recommended experience. Greens were a bit quicker than practice with less break, smooth and rolled true. Enjoy!
Old course needs revision
This is an old style course with raised rounded old style greens. Only people who play it regularly would have any idea of.the landing areas, slopes, etc. This makes the course a very poor choice for first timers. The traps are all too typical of many Az courses, coarse sand that makes for hard surfaces and no loose sand.
While the greens and fairways are in excellent condition, this is a high price to pay for an old mediocre course.
Camelback
Nice design, nice speed on greens, excellent manicured, Not a $200 a day course.
Really nice course. Perfect weather.
Wow. We had an incredible day. Weather was finally wonderful and course conditions were excellent. That and the pace of play was as good as you can ask for.
We would play this course every day if we could.
We got lost going from front 9 to back but it aint that hard to figure out.
Just a really nice day of golf.
greens were rolling great and fairways were very nice. Dormant Bermuda grass off the fairways so it was a great look.
Price was to high but we were visiting out of town and had wanted to play this course. Fun course to play if you haven't played it but there are better values elsewhere if money is a concern.
Love CB
Beautiful view from many holes especially 9/18. Great staff especially the starter. Good value.
Great Day
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!
Padre is a very nice treat
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.
Day after Rain
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!
Greens greens greens
Their greens are exceptional and interesting. Somehow they keep their bermuda greens all year round. This course is in beautiful condition.
Oh so close
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.
Tried for the 1st time
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!
Course was average at best
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.
Narrow fairways, small greens
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.
