Great condition

The course was just opened after overseeding so it was cart path only. The conditions were perfect from tee boxes to greens. Staff were friendly.

Good round

Course was in pretty good shape despite just being

Over seeded. Cart path only was less than great but it’s that time of year here. Greens held and rolled good. A fun somewhat challenging course.

A quality experience

This is a Scottsdale course that has been around for a long time. It was in excellent condition, especially considering the hot summer we just finished (it is October). Most of the greens have a lot of undulations and if you want to post a good score bring your 'A' game with your approach shots and putter. The fairways are ample but don't miss them as the penalty for doing so is often severe. Staff and facilities are great. If you appreciate good golf courses you will like this one.

Great for a quick round

I played Padre on 9/23 at 3:15. Never had anyone in front of me or behind me. Played the 18 in about 3 and 1/4 hours. Course was in good shape, greens were moderate and uniform. I used rental clubs which were $60. They were Taylormade Ai Max and in great shape. Also came with two sleeves of balls. Only mild criticism would be no water on course but two bottles were provided. Would absolutely recommend at today’s price of $95.

Great Course

Ambiente is always fun to play. It is a great design with a good variety of holes. It almost has a links fel to it, with the wispy grass along the bunkers and the lack of trees coming into play. The pace was a little slow and it was actually the longest round of the year for me, about 4 hours 45 minutes. The course was in great shape, although it was cart path only because Scottsdale got over 3 inches of rain the day before.

Camelback CC

Played here a couple of times. The course is in great shape nice enough to host a tournament. When you arrive the greeting staff is excellent, however, the evening staff tends to fall short of the greeting performance. I ordered a turkey sandwich that was a total let down. Low quality everything no better than any inexpensive public course Cafe. Turkey was common prepackaged meat compared to other Marriott facilities that give you fresh cut amazing turkey worthy of Ritz Carlton 5 star food. Wildfire Golf Club food is amazing a Marriott facility

Bottom line it's a great experience to play these beautiful courses with excellent practice facility included with the green fee. I need to compliment Andy the head pro for following up and returning my calls.

Over priced and Don’t know why anyone else should be a member unless they just could get in to PVCC

This course has great letter boxes fairways and greens. Staff is friendly. But the course is the ugliest course ever. Also if your ball isn’t on the fairway then you lose your ball. The fescue is here horrendous. It’s like the plopped a course in a marsh and called a country club lol you can dozens of more gorgeous fun course that hard but won’t cost you balls or stokes for no reason. I’ll never play here again.

It is a beautiful course in exceptional condition. Bunkers are well maintained and golf carts with touch GPS screen in great condition and clean. I’ll definitely play here again!
