Camelback Golf Club (Padre Course)

Overview: Camelback Golf Club’s Padre Course is a public Scottsdale layout designed by Arthur Hills. Towering trees, subtle landforms, multiple lakes and carefully placed bunkers make it a parkland-style contrast to the more overtly desert character of many nearby courses.

History: The Padre Course has been substantially reshaped over time, including a major Arthur Hills redesign in 1999. The modern course preserves its tree-lined, foothill setting while updating the strategy and presentation for contemporary play.

Did You Know? Padre sits among the Camelback foothills and combines native vegetation with lakes and elevation change. That mix is why the course feels more like a landscaped mountain-edge park than a typical open desert layout.
