About

Established in 1979, Camelback Rugby Club is one of the longest-established teams in the state of Arizona. We are always looking for and welcome new players to join our club. No matter what level of experience we are sure to have a spot for you! Our players range from very skilled, top-level players to extremely raw players with little experience. All that is asked is an enthusiasm for the sport.

Since 1987 Camelback Rugby has been holding a golf tournament fundraiser to raise funds for our upcoming season plus give back to the community. A portion of the proceeds from the golf tournament will go to the American Cancer Society (ACS) and brain cancer research in honor and legacy of fallen Camelback rugger Michael Santee who passed away in 2015 suddenly to an undiagnosed brain tumor. ACS has a dedicated mission to free the world from cancer and Camelback Rugby wants to help them do this. ACS aids in funding and conducting research, sharing expert information, supporting patients, and spreading the word about cancer prevention. All so you can live longer — and better.

As a club, we create a more memorable golf tournament experience for our participants and sponsors. This year, we will play the tournament on flawless greens at Pueblo El Mirage Golf Course in El Mirage, AZ. Secondly, we do not have your typical hole events. Instead, our events are fun for golfers of all skill levels and provide a unique experience. We also aim to actively promote our sponsors because with them, this tournament will happen and we want to do all that we can to grow and promote your business.

Lastly, our raffle and awards luncheon provides a fun social atmosphere for you to meet and socialize with the other golfers and members of Camelback Rugby. Come out play some golf, support a great rugby club, and give to an amazing cause as we work to defeat brain cancer!
