Arthur Hills redesigned the club’s original course in 1999. The result is a classic desert design that has been modernized. Among the improvements are bunkers that pop up everywhere and wide fairways that often split. The par-3s are on the long side, including the daunting 220-yard 17th.

Unlike the other course at the Camelback Golf Club, the Padre Course has a parkland design that is situated on gently rolling terrain covered with lush vegetation. Although the pleasant scenery and beautiful vistas of the course are inviting, golfers should be prepared for a challenge. The landscape provides several natural hazards with towering trees scattered throughout and multiple lakes that come into play on several holes. The course is also heavily bunkered to truly test golfers. The finishing hole is a notably challenging hole that features water, Arizona Golf Magazine even named it the best water hole in the state.

The 36,000 square-foot pueblo-styled Clubhouse designed by Douglas Fredrikson offers golfers an expansive golf shop. The Grill at the Camelback Golf Club is a great place for lunch during your Arizona golf vacation and The Grill Lounge is a terrific 19th hole meeting place after your day of championship golf at either course at Camelback Resort.

Arthur Jack Snyder’s design at Camelback Golf Club is one of the most scenic courses in the metropolitan Phoenix area. Nestled near the foothills of Camelback Mountain, the combination of mountain backdrops and challenging yet forgiving design has made Camelback a favorite for golfers in the Valley of the Sun for decades.

The Indian Bend Course at the Camelback Golf Club offers a player-friendly round of golf with the majestic Camelback Mountain as a backdrop. This scenic course features mature eucalyptus and pine trees, flowering gardens and countless hummingbirds, which all provide a serene atmosphere for a relaxing round of golf. Rolling, tree-lined fairways and water hazards scattered throughout provide challenges for golfers as they admire the stunning desert and mountain views.

The par-5 18th hole is a challenging and strategic finishing hole. A severe dog leg right, tree-lined fairway gives you little chance of reaching the green in two shots. The green is two levels and undulates heavily. A bunker in the back and one on each side catch off-line third shots. Get close to the hole and finish off the round with a birdie.

The doglegs, bunkers, and trees can cause extra strokes, but the layout offers escapes from hazards, making outstanding golf for those of any skill level.

The traditional, American, links-style design offers a fair test for golfers of all skill levels. In addition to this course, there is another equally challenging 18-hole course at the Camelback Golf Club called the Padre Course.
