Rating Snapshot
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.

The course is in great shape and the pace of play was fantastic for Saturday morning
We couldn't of had a better time good job Camelback
great summer course
We played the Padre course- This course is in excellent condition. Fairways are beautiful. Distinct seperation between rough and fairway, but rough isnt too long. Well placed bunkers are easy to avoid using the In-cart touch screen GPS. I have Only played one course this summer with nicer greens (~12 courses). The beverage cart came around often, and there were water bottles and towels in our cooler when we started. I look forward to playing here again and again.
Thank you for your review. We appreciate your kind comments and are so glad to hear you enjoy your experience at Camelback. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
excellent course. , good challenges at times
I play this course all the time , and it's just as challenging as the week.before. If you play from the blacks, you really get a feel of the entire course.
Always a challenge, and I will continue to play there as much as possible.
Only 1 small complaint. They air'd the greens , so putting was not that great , but.I consider it General maintenance, so They should roll well within the next week or so.

Fun course
This is a nice course for those who don't want to be punished severely for any and all misdirected shots. The fairways are generous and there is usually an opportunity to recover from stray shots. If you seek a course that demands precision, the Ambiante course is also quite nice.
Great course
Great course. Lots of green and never had to wait or had people waiting on us. Nice staff too.
Good value good quality
I booked my round the night prior and was pleased with the quality. The pace of play was rather slow but most public venues have the same miss you want to Saturday morning.
Great experience!
First time playing this course. Have heard great things and was curious to decide for myself. Awesome staff from the moment we got there. Set us up with water, fresh towels, and an ice-filled cooler before we headed out for our round in the 110 degree heat.
Course was in great shape. Bunkers were well maintained and the greens were awesome. Course played fairly easy but had challenging bunker placement. Was an absolute steal as the Hot Deal via GolfNow.
This course is in great shape
The padre greens are as good as I have seen. The fairways and rough is in great condition. We played at 4 hours to complete our round
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.
