Camelback (Padre)
Scottsdale, Arizona
- Address7847 N Mockingbird Ln, Scottsdale, AZ 85253, USA
The Padre course at the Camelback Resort is technically the older of the two routes at the 36-hole Marriott property, however it plays much newer due to Arthur Hills’s dramatic makeover during the ‘90s (the Ambiente course was added by Arthur Jack Snyder following Red Lawrence’s initial stab at Padre).
The routing at Padre will alone set it apart from the Ambiente: While the latter heads out and back through a narrow passage between real estate developments, the Padre has more room to move about its wider property. Hills also endorsed the ‘90s trend toward more heroic hazards, dotting the landscape with a number of ponds that will add strokes quickly for those with shaky hands.
The most notorious will come at the close to either nine. Players will have a sense of déjà vu as they come back on No. 18, as it shares a pond with No. 9, forcing players to air wide to avoid the drink upon approach. The former hole in the route is a par four, while the latter is a par five.

Arthur Hills started playing golf when he was seven. He lived just across the railroad tracks from Ottawa Park municipal course in Toledo, Ohio, where he could play golf for 26 cents before noon.
