Good choice

I’ve never been to AZ in the summer so I can’t really compare but I thought the course was in very good condition considering the heat. My only complaint and it’s definitely not just here but most places, I think the pro shop/starter could do a lot better to pair up singles and doubles to aid the pace of play.

stunning views while playing

Padre course absolutely beautiful. While enjoying the layout the course the view of the skyline was a plus. the greens were fast and really hard in some places. the best part was the staff. super friendly and helpful. I will be looking forward for a return visit to play the other course.

Wonderfull Course

A great strategic course - well bunkered yet accepting of a ground game. Lots of variety with short and long par 3s, 4s and 5s. Conditioning was excellent, expecially the greens. One of my favorite courses in the greater Phoenix area.

Well-conditioned course. Fun layout.

Check in was easy. Dropped off clubs at bag drop. Told em my name and they showed me the way to check in at the pro shop. Got there roughly 30 mins prior to my tee time. Practice area was very nice. Good sized chipping green with a solid bunker as well. Driving range was adequate with practice balls in good condition! Putting green was perfect!! Matched the speeds on the course and definitely helped me judge my putts better. It was my 1st time playing the course and was able to bring in a solid 76 from the tips. Greens rolled true and the routing was fun! A fairly drivable course with some pot bunkers strategically placed in fairways and along landing areas made placement/ club choice of the tee a key factor. The Marshall was awesome. Very friendly and seemed like he legitimately cared about our experience. Overall a great course and had a ton of fun. Only downside was there was a 3some that played atrociously slow. We began to lose our minds after 4 holes. I called the pro shop and the Marshall was there within 10 mins. Definitely recommend this course to everyone!!
