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.

Excellent staff and very attentive
The course was somewhat challenging due to the sand traps which I seemed to find too often. Fairways are mostly wide open. The course is in great shape both in the fairways and the greens.
Again the staff was very friendly and accommodating.
great views
Classic layout. Very enjoyable round. Greens good.
Worth playing if your in town.
Great course
8 holes have water hazards.
Sand traps are well maintained.
Lots of dog-legs in both directions.
Over all... Great course
JoeyD
Great course well maintained very fast greens forgiving fairways highly recommend price was right Would lay again
Fast Greens
Greens are fast fairways forgiving. Great Golf now rate on this premium course drink range was OK chipping and putting area excellent. Looking forward to playing the other course at Camelback!
Very Nice Golf Course
My son and I played Camelback Golf Club for the first time. It was a very nice course and the staff was exceptionally courteous and helpful. The course and especially the greens were in excellent shape and we enjoyed playing the course.
Fun Course
Wide fairways - fast, excellent greens. Fun,forgiving holes.
outstanding course
These folks know how to treat you right, 1st class all the way! The course was in excellent condition with HUGE fast greens. Plenty long from the white tees and plenty of water to keep you on your toes. We played as a 3 some and finished our round in under 4 hours. Excellent bargain with the "hot deals" from Golfnow. Will play this course again next visit to Scottsdale.
Wonderful time on the course
Friendly and helpful staff beware of the runoffs from some greens butbasicallya fair test of golf
Excellent Parkland Setting In The Desert
The Padre course is an old mature course offering an excellent variety of challenges. Equally challenging long and short par fours requiring accuracy off the tee and well thought out approaches. The greens were somewhat firm but receptive, with subtle slopes and breaks, local knowledge is a definite asset here. They rolled true and were about 10 1/2 on the stempmeter. I had a couple birdies, a couple 3-putts, (ugh) shot 75 from the Whites. A very good day for a 66 year old 6 HDCP .
Water in the desert.
Unusual to have 9 holes with water in the desert. Challenging for intermediate golfer. Fabulous clubhouse with good food.
Breakfast treat
somehow, staff remembered my name - very impressive. Coffee & breakfast sandwich excellent;
paired with 3 interesting guys; flowers in full bloom; course in fine shape; greens a bit uneven in speed.
Amazing course
My favorite course in the Phoenix area. Very well maintained and staff was extremely friendly. Can't wait to play again.
Beautiful course with nice scenery and some challenging holes
This course has nice facilities and a convenient location. Course has a mix of challenges. Very well maintained.
Convenient and challenging course
Over the past 13 years I've played Camelback Padre often and it's weathered well despite being over 50 years old. There is a lot of variety and challenging depending on the tees played. Great range and practice facility although the range needs more distance markers. Overall good course!
Nice Facility
Nice course, very well kept, maintenance is excellent. Course is in generally nice shape with minimal dry areas. The course is relatively easy but enjoyable to play. The surrounding scenery is very nice. Suggest that it should properly be priced in the $75-85 range. Golfnow prices over $100 are not justifiable for this facility.
good test
Great change from the desert courses. More like a northern course. Greens were hard and quick.
Wide Open
Good course. Fun to play for beginners and casual golfers. It's fairly wide open and forgiving.
good warm up round
played from the black tees but fairways and greens are hard so it plays much shorter.
Nothing to special about the course. Paid a very low green fee after 3pm. Some greens are pretty tricky and couple par 3's are difficult.
