I played Camelback Padre years ago, but am really glad I tried it again. The course was in good condition given the ongoing heat wave in Phoenix. I'm a pretty high handicapper, and while the course wasn't easy, it was forgiving. At other courses in the area, if you miss a fairway, at best you're looking for your ball among the cacti and at worst you're pulling out another ball. At Padre on many of the holes if you miss the fairway a bit you can usually still play your ball. The greens putted very well; they weren't slick but putts rolled true. The staff was outstanding, including in the pro shop, the starter, the folks who helped with the clubs and the young lady on the beverage cart. This was the fifth course I had played in five days, but I was going to play this one again on Friday I liked it so much. Unfortunately, I fell asleep before I made a tee time, and overslept on Friday. If I come back to Phoenix, I will definitely come back to this course.
