Camelback Golf Club

The desert target golf here demands precision over power, with elevated tees launching shots into narrow fairways framed by towering saguaros and unforgiving desert wash. Jack Nicklaus carved these holes through pristine Sonoran landscape, creating dramatic elevation changes that showcase the McDowell Mountains while punishing wayward iron shots with collection areas that swallow golf balls like quicksand. The back nine climbs relentlessly upward, rewarding accurate approach play with some of the most photographed green complexes in the Valley of the Sun.
