Rating 72.2

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.

Good Course

So super friendly staff here all the way through. GPS in carts. Played the Padre Course. Found the course in decent shape despite summer, greens in good shape, very good layout, pace of play was really good at about 3 to 3 1/2 hours. No cart girl (who was sick) but the staff made sure to give away plenty of water. Thought the price to play was a little high based on summer conditions. But have to say we enjoyed ourselves overall.

Wonderful course

Very enjoyable late May round. Early tee time as a twosome. Played through the 4-some ahead of us on the 2nd hole and finished in 3 hours. Very pretty and in great condition.

WOW

In Scottsdale for a week and played it the last day of golf. If we’d played it the first day there, probably would have played it at least 3 maybe 4 days out of the week
