Punched Greens

Knowing that the greens were still recovering from aeration would have been nice to know.

The range was set up on a downhill lie. Barely any grass and ball that looked to be 5 years old.

Thoroughly Enjoyed

Played Ambiente before and enjoyed it very much, wanted to play Padre even though I was told it wasn’t as good as Ambiente, managed to get a good deal and played recently. Course was great, nice layout, friendly staff and as a bonus I played well. Came off thinking it was the better of the 2 courses and would love to play again.

Great Course Not So Great Price

I love this course, but when summer rates in AZ should be in play, I feel like $150 for a round is on the high side of things. The problem is not Camelback, it’s the cost to play everywhere is the problem. I played here because for an extra $30 you get a way more enjoyable track to play on. Sure I’m getting older but the cost of golf has resulted in me golfing, once a month when I’ve used to golf 3-4 times a month. Sticker shock is a real thing.
