No value

If I had to describe this course in two words it would be old and tired. There are much nicer courses down here for the money.

It appears from what we could see all the money goes in to the other course.

In the other hand all of the staff is super friendly and helpful.

Great Value

Granted I booked the “hot deal”, so I didn’t pay full price. But the value of what I paid compared to the quality and condition of the course was fantastic. Pace of play was great and it was a really fun course. I think the only downside was how residential it is. At least all of the homes were spectacular and you still get some mountain views. Will go again.

Camelback review

I played played Camelback golf course Jan 24, 2022, in the early afternoon. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. I played Padre which was the easier of the two courses and was sufficiently challenged. The course was well maintained except for a couple of tee boxes and even my partner was decent. Afterwards we ate lunch at the dining room and the food didn’t disappoint. Overall I would play the course again if I returned to Scottsdale.

Greens and fairways good

Greens and fairways were in good shape but the tee boxes were rough and the course was too expensive for the layout.
