Not worth the money

It’s a fine course and if I had paid $100 for it I would’ve been happy with the value. At $215 I would’ve rather sprung for Troon or Quintero.

5 hour day

We were started behind a tournament that slowed the whole course down. Staff/golfnow need to manage better and disclose a tournament occurring before we spend $500+ on golf

Second only to Ambiente

Played with friends so always a good start. Didn't start until 12.50 and absolutely raced round, so really good for your focus. The views of Camelback Mountain are stunning and the course was really good considering the amount of rain that fell the weekend before.. Have played at this Club once a week for our complete stay. Love It.

Very nice course

I really enjoyed playing the Padre course at Camelback. It was in nice shape although I prefer courses that overseed the rough, but not a huge deal. It's really odd that they dont overseed the greens though, They are a semi burnt out bermuda. They were still rolling fine but the holes were falling apart because bermuda doesn't grow this time of yesr. I can't imagine that they hold up well through the Winter.

Make sure to check your reservation confirmation price or they will charge you more than what you originally booked it for.

Course was in great shape and the staff were great. Double seeded for fall so lots of walking. Needed to rent clubs- struggled due to draw setup on all woods. At end of game found out there was a key to adjust the heads

Over priced and unimpressive

Paid 200 glucks for an abysmal layout - greens are dried out and there is not a single memorable hole.

So many other courses in the area, stay away from this dog track.

Great track!

BEAUTIFUL CLUB! Very well maintained courses! Staff were great! There was a mix up with my shuttle transportation from the JW Marriott Camelback Inn to the golf club and the general manager of the resort and the gentleman working in the golf clubs pro shop made sure I was well compensated for my inconvenience. True class act!!
