About the Course

Nestled between Mummy Mountain and Camelback Mountain in the foothills, this championship parkland course features towering eucalyptus trees, strategic bunkering, and multiple lakes. Unlike other desert courses in Scottsdale, the Padre is a traditional parkland-style course with wide, forgiving fairways and lush green landscapes.

Chip's Hot Take

"Those eucalyptus trees are older than your golf swing, and they've seen fewer slices. That 18th hole water feature? Arizona's most photographed place to lose a ball."
