Camelback Golf Club - Padre Course

The Padre course is the easier of the two. Early morning round - paired with 3 others including one member. Of the 3 rounds I played this week, this was the most expensive - even with a discount. Well maintained, though rough was thin. Great morning round if you need to be somewhere else in afternoon.

Early round - played with a member. The course is in good shape, but the rough is a little bare. The bag staff and pro shop staff are all top notch. A little pricey but I got a discount in having played before. Other than Hole 5, I like the course. Close to my condo. May return.

Will play this course every winter

Beautiful Course and excellently maintained. Everyone was extremely friendly. Highly recommend this Course.

Staff very friendly except for cart girl

Fairly easy track in good shape but nothing to fancy about it.

Nice layout,I am a fan of designer Arthur Hills.Might be a little pricey,although we were fortune to get a good rate. A very enjoyable experience and great staff in pro shop.

Great experience at Camelback, from the time we dropped off our bags to end of the round with only one small asterisk.
The driving range was more then adequate with space for driving, chipping and putting. And one didn't have to wait or worry about being confined to a three foot space. Starters were engaging and beverage cart was frequent. Nice layout of course and one wasn't hitting in between homes the entire course as some Arizona layouts. I thought it was a great value for the experience.
The only asterisk would of been an open beverage bar at the end of the round. It was not quite dusk, but we had enjoyed the round and we wanted to have a beer or drink afterwards. We went to the bar and they were closing down and didn't want to serve us. Not a huge downer but perhaps we would of gotten something to eat. Perhaps a cap or shirt but the pro shop was closed as well.

Was looking forward to playing the course but 2 days after booking our reservation was cancelled without giving a reason. Luckily I checked my e-mail and was able to book another tee time elsewhere for the same time.

Course was in great shape, but play was slow for a Friday. Got a great special price through golf now otherwise I wouldn't pay $100+ to play there. I tap out at $75 during prime time.

I've placed this course many times and always enjoyed myself. This timr was absolutely frustrating. Very slow pace. Unacceptable. Marshalls tried to speed up play to no success. Not worth the time or money.

With the special I received a fair price for this golf course. A nice course but not spectacular. Staff was great however and the inclusion of range balls made the value good. I would not pay more than $65 for this course.

Second time playing this course and you need to be aware of shot placement. Target golf for the most part. I thought the greens were quick and small. Actually liked it's sister course Ambiente better!

We played with another couple in early afternoon, got good deal through GN. Course was in good shape, however very punishing. On several holes, we all lost our ball in the water as it would just roll right off the green and down a steep slope into the water. Found the round quite frustrating, as rarely rewarded for a good shot on .

This is a course not to be missed. Even from the whites a tought course lots of shots that can run off into trouble if not placed correctly. Probably better if you play it a couple of times. The only issue we had was pace of play, just short of 5 hours. You kind of know that you are in for it when the starter apologizes in advance for slow play but then, as far as I could see did nothing to change it. All in all though this is a track that I will try again, as it may just have been my lunch of the draw to follow a particular group.

I have played this course many times and yesterday i was shocked to see the condition of the greens...there was NO grass on them and they were all covered in green sand....i was told at check in that "the greens are fast so be above the hole"....well try putting on glass and that is what it was like.....total joke...apparently the grass never came in on the greens so they sprayed sand the color green to make it look good....rest of the course in great shape but stay away until they get GRASS to grow on the greens.....unless you like to 3 or 4 putt every green because there is no stopping the ball..........

Course was in great shape - the greens were about as good as they could get - rolling close to 12's
Only challenge was a few of the collars on the water edges on the green sides could be a little longer - few of my playing partners shots rolled into the hazard....
Will get back soon -

I REALLY ENJOYED IT AND WILL PLAY IT AGAIN.

A last minute decision to play the PADRE course and, for the time of the year, a very good rate. Of course, the check-in was pleasant and off to a great range to warm-up. The Padre was outlined by dormant grass making the Emerald green fairways look even greener!

The course was in remarkable condition and the greens like lightening. DO NOT, IF YOU ARE ABLE TO AVOID, GET ABOVE THE HOLE......wonderfully fast and true greens. (We asked the cart service if they knew the speed and they said that they are not given that information but they felt the PADRE was running at "11" and AMBIENTE, even faster.) Very well-kept bunkers. We found the course a wonderful upgrade from some of the other local popular courses. Pay bit more and play a beautiful course; incredibly maintained.

We are looking for another day and another good rate to get back.

While I prefer Ambiente, Padre offers a great golfing experience at a cheaper price. Although the rough is dried out because they didn't overseed that part of the course, the fairways and greens are in excellent condition; the best I have experience there. Recommended.
