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.

Golfer Reviews
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!
Good Resort 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.
Nice way to end vacation.
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.
Excellent Day of Golf.
Beautiful Course and excellently maintained. Everyone was extremely friendly. Highly recommend this Course.
Simple course
Fairly easy track in good shape but nothing to fancy about it.
nice design and condition for most golfers
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.
A Golfer's Appreciation of Camelback - Padre
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.
Disappointed
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.
Great Play
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.
Very slow round
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.
Thank you for your feedback. Our apologies for your experience with the pace of play. We have addressed this with our Rangers and hope you'll consider playing our course again. At your convenience, call the Golf Shop and ask for the Head Pro.
Camel Back special
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.
Thank you for playing our golf course! We appreciate your kind words about our staff, and are glad to hear you felt so welcome.
More target golf with quick greens
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!
Thank you for playing our course. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve moving forward.
