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 Course
Great course, cool peninsula greens with shots over water. Bunkers were nice.
Camelback
Enjoyable round of golf at a good pace, virtually no waiting on the group in front of us. The course is in great condition, the staff helpful and informative, and the surrounding vista beautiful.
Best course in the valley
Best public course in the valley! The Marriott personal that manage and staff the course, do a great in keeping the course in pristine condition. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. The course was in great shape and play was never held up. My Wife and I will be coming back to play again soon.
Nice Parkland Style Course
I have played the sister course to Padre--Ambiente--at least a dozen times. Ambiente is a links-style course with plenty of desert rough that I have always enjoyed playing. I had heard Padre was a bit different so, of course, I wanted to play that one as well. And, I enjoyed the round. It only goes to reason that with Ambiente well maintained, the same would hold true with Padre. The fairways and greens were both in very playable condition, and well groomed from edge to edge. The course plays a bit long, however, even from the intermediate tees. With a decent drive (240 yds), I was still finding it necessary to play a fairway wood or long iron on my second shot. So polish up your long game for this course. It also is a course that holds some surprises. Some bunkers and hazards are not visible or obvious on first glance. Accordingly, you will to need to think about where you want to place your shots to tackle some of these hazards with your next shot. Because of this, I think I will play this course better the second time around and will be better versed on my yardages to play with more confidence. With green-side bunker faces glaring at you or edges of ponds seeming to stretch the carry you need, it is often difficult to commit to a shot the first time around. I admit i took a few second shots because of this, sometimes pulling out a longer or shorter club on the second shot as necessary. It was a fun and reasonably challenging course.
the course was in excellent condition
for the time of year the course was an exceptional condition and the cost very reasonable. I would recommend this course to my friends and fellow golfers
One of The best course
One of the best golf course in the valley
A hidden gem...
It was my first time playing this course. Turn out they got 2 course and I played the padre course. I got a smoking hot deal on golfnow.com for $10 on Wednesday at 11:30 tee time. I got there at 11:10 and they let me go out early. It was just me only and they didn't pair me with anyone. I played all 18th hole about 2 hours. There was no one the golf course. I finally catch up to the group ahead of me, it was a 3 some on hole 13 and I played with them. Then I moved on to the next hole by myself. Course condition was great. Fairway is great and forgiving..The greens are ok.. I can tell they punch the green not too long ago.. But the putting is smooth.. Give it another week and it will be great. I can't complain about the course for $10
Best summer value
Camelback Golf Club has two wonderful Golf courses. Considering the Arizona summer climate, these courses are in great condition.
Camelback-Padre
The course was in very good shape. The course personnel were courteous and helpful. I will play here again.
Padre
Good value, and the course was in good condition. Great pace. Finished in Four hours.
Great location, beautiful course
The greens were in great shape and consistent. Some wet spots on the fairways. We had fun thanks!
Great course and staff
I booked my round on Golfnow and this was my first time playing games here. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Course conditions are excellent and pace of play great.
Wir kommen wieder
Seit Jahren spielen wir diesen Course immer wieder wenn wir in Scottsdale Urlaub machen.
Fun in the Sun
I would highly recommend this course. Fairways, greens and even the rough in great shape. Course plays very straight forward but sill very challenging with well placed water and sand traps. Staff was super friendly and helpful I booked on Golfnow and got a great deal.
Great experience at Camelbackk, Padre
First time experience was great from dropping off the clubs to having lunch after the round. All of yhe staff members were helpThe starter gave us some pointers before we started off. We were paired with a single player, which helped pace of pkay. The course was in excellent condition. Would love to play it again.
SLOWWWWWWW!
Great course, great location but Ambiante plays
horrible slow! Too many tee times and too many lost balls in the long grass. Players in front of us spending half there time looking for balls in the weeds!
Excellent shape for public course
Fairways and Greens were great the greens a bit firm but putted quick and true. Love the practice facilities range balls free! Paired up with a couple of guys from China so made the entire experience great!
Great day
My brother-in-law played with me we had a great day and a great course experience good service from all the staff. We will be back.
