Well worth a visit

This was the second time playing the course and I still think it worth the money (especially if, like yesterday, a Hot Deal is available).

The course is challenging, especially if you battle a slice, but fair. The course condition is excellent on the tees, fairways and greens.

The minor downsides to yesterday’s game were:

1. The driving range unfortunately closed temporarily just before I arrived but the putting greens were open

2. My bidder issue, on a hot, high 90’s day, the beverage cart only came around once.

3. I do not understand why additional (free) bottles of water are not available until you reach the 15th hole. Why not make them available on the front 9 or at the turn? It is great to get bottles provided at the start but, please, also make them available prior the 15th and 16th holes.

Fun course, thin fairways, some water

We played the Padre course and had a fun time. The driving range and tee boxes are in excellent shape. The fairways are thin and there is occasional water to keep your game sharp. Make sure you take a moment to enjoy the surroundings. The holes are laid out perfectly within the mountains and homes, very beautiful scenery. Overall, a great round of golf

The course was in great shape

First class range

What stood out to me was the gentleman that greets everyone

Jason! He was fantastic

Energetic , professional on top of things

Knowledgable , friendly

I work at a golf course in outside ops for the past 8 years ( course has hosted us opens and Ryder cup)

I have the same job as Jason and Jason is as good as it gets

Makes a difference when the first person you see and talk to is as good as Jason

A Great Day On The Padre Course

Lunch in the clubhouse before golf. Excellent practice facilities. Pace of play was less than four hours. That may be a result of the ten minute tee time intervals. A great staff especially the "Bag Drop" team and "Starter". Some of the sand in a few of the fairway bunkers could be softer.
