nice views

played the PAdre which Is very playable , fairways are generous but plenty of stuff to keep your interest. ( the starter told me the other course is more of a links style and the fairways require a more precise tee shot.) There are a couple of holes that the greens roll off to a shaved hill side into the water. So some prior knowledge would be helpful. The greens were nice , big and smooth ball rolled well. Traps were a little shy of sand but in good shape. Take time to look at the camelback mountains they are visible on most holes. ( i had a golf pass tee time credit so I basically played for free. I usually don't play $100 courses so I can't say if the value was at market but It was a very pleasant course.

A gem where there are many options

There are so many courses to choose from in the Phoenix Scottsdale area. We chose one on the higher end of the price scale, but it was very much worth it. There is a lot of play of the two courses at Camelback Golf Club. That being said, it is very well run. The course is interesting fun and challenging. The greens are fast and roll true. The course layout is expansive with a good amount of distance between between holes. You cannot walk it. It would be 10 miles plus. It was a four hour round with very little waiting. I highly recommend it.

Welcome back!

Great course with fast, undulating greens. Definitely easier playing a second time being a little more familiar with the course layout. It has become one of my favorite courses although not very convenient for me - 1 hour travel time - but worth the journey.
