Camelback Golf Club - Ambiente Course
About
Camelback Golf Club features two courses, Padre and Ambiente (formerly known as Indian Bend Course). The Ambiente Course underwent a major renovation in 2013. Making the course more eco friendly was one of the major goals of the renovation in addition to improving the layout's playability for a wider range of skill levels. The creatively shaped greens offer a variety of different putting options that present interesting risk-reward opportunities. The renovation added 100 acres of native desert and grass areas that add not only beauty but also require a third less water. Rolling terrain is the defining characteristic of the Ambiente Course, from the undulating fairways to dramatic drops in elevation. There are five sets of tees with forward tees that have easier approach angles and no forced carried, allowing even beginners to approach the golf course with confidence.

Nice layout
Course has a nice layout and 9 out then 9 back. Staff are all excellent, friendly, and helpful. Greens were in good shape. Course edges a little rough. Didn’t appreciate being in a bunker and huge grass/weeds on the back edge didn’t allow any backswing- crazy. Overall nice course and challenge.
Ambiente tops for $
Great layout and perfect course conditions. Always play here when green fees reasonable.
Always the Standard
Camelback--Ambiente is always in great shape summer or winter, heat wave or monsoon. There were workers out doing course maintenance during the round as it was Tuesday--a day you would expect the maintenance. to occur. I accept the reality. Even so, the fairways and greens were all top notch. Camelback also has one of the best practice facilities.
We’ll maintained course
Camelback Ambiente course is in good condition, especially considering this summer’s weather. Greens were a little bumpy, perhaps from an earlier aeration. Traps were in very good condition (the exception in Phoenix, generally). GPS was very helpful for a first-timer. Penalty areas were not marked so hard to know precisely where to drop, or if a drop was even permissible. But that didn’t affect the course conditions and play. Staff were friendly and helpful. Practice area was large and in good shape.
Ambiente GC was in excellent condition
Played as a solo player at 110*, walking, and completing my round in 3:40. Course was perfect from tee box to green. Sand traps were consistent, with sufficient levels of sand. Greens were at a good pace and ran true. The only problem was that they were heavily watering the fronts of many greens (due to the extreme heat of late), which resulted in numerous missed greens (but I understand why and accept the outcome). Definitely a great value with a GolfNow Hot Deal.
Great course that had just reopened
Had a great day at Camelback. Great layout, it was in very good condition. The starter told me they had just reopened. Anyway, it was a great day, course was a little soft because of watering and the temp was 117. Only issue was that the hole cutter was a little dull on one side, so the every cup was a bit off. Otherwise, it was a great day.
Expensive but interesting
Fairways very dry and hard to find a good lie.
Greens also rough and slow.
Beautiful layout with all the expensive homes to admire.
Excellent staff. Fairways quite dry and hard. Like hitting off concrete.
Canadian golfer
Course was in great shape for end of June. Some thin spots on fairways not to many, greens where in great shape will play again this week!!
Must play course in Scottsdale, AZ
This is a long links style course. You can't go wrong playing Camelback courses. Great summer rate and not many people. Water station every hole gets you hydrated during rounds. I had a blast playing all by myself and shooting 76 from blue. The starter was a true gentleman. If you are in Scottsdale or Pheonix area, book yourself a round of golf here.

Sneaky challenging, but most holes were straight forward. Did a nice job on remodeling. Greens were very nice but tricky.
Fairways were fast and so was the round.
Went out as a threesome around 11:20am and made it back to clubhouse before 2:30.
Greens still had the slightest indication that they had been punched recently, but they rolled out well, but were not as fast as I anticipated. All things considered, the course played well.
Hard to pass if you can get a hot deal course is amazing as always
Terrific
Great links course in one of the most upscale neighborhoods in the Valley. Fairways are always premo and the greens are always complete, consistent surfaces. The day I played the greens were a bit bumpy and caused the ball to wander in odd tracks, so maybe time to roll the greens. Still a very enjoyable place to play golf.
Courses in awesome shape…!! would recommend it to anybody…!
