Enjoyed Padre Course
Nice course and layout. Greens well but tough sloping away. Challenging. Fairways both flat and some undulating. Truly enjoyable. Will definitely be back
AM round
Padre was soaked so we played Ambiante even tho my time was for Padre. Not a bad trade. Everything was excellent, the greens has the final remnants of being punched so not as smooth as in prime time.
We had a good pace, enjoyed the experience!
Camelback Padre August
Rain has helped greens recover from punching. Rough is penalty now as very lush. Hot but played in 3 hours starting at noon.
Relaxing Round
First time playing this course and it didn’t disappoint. We were worried that the overnight rain would make it unplayable but it really wasn’t that bad. The course sent an email early in the morning alerting us of the cart path only rule which was a nice heads up. From tee box to green, conditions were primo considering we are still in summer mode here in AZ. The rains have definitely helped enhance summer conditions. All staff from the clubhouse to the first tee to the beverage cart to the cart barn we’re friendly. Will definitely add this track to our rotation!
Semi Disappointed
Putting aside the course got pretty messed up with the rain, the greens were uncharacteristically bumpy. The course staff is always friendly. My biggest gripe is pace of play. They just can’t get that down. Today was a mess and took way too long to play. If I were a member I would be extremely upset. The rangers need to tell people to pick up. Too many people search too long for balls they will never find in the long grass. The tee sheet also needs to be managed better.
Great course
The course was in very good shape considering the damage that had been done during the storm. Only reason for rating it a little lower than excellent. And having a foursome in front of you playing for money and taking a very long time that slowed down the pace of the play.
Cut the grass - Needs more trees
Not a fan of the links style golf course
Not enough shade
I won't be playing this course until these 2 things change
Worst experience ever
Group behind us was yelling all day on every green, yelling and cursing at us. Nothing like anything I have ever experienced, made the round unplayable. Rangers did not do anything.
