Camelback Golf Club - Ambiente Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Camelback
Great conditions and greens were quick and in good condition
Camel back is a must play!
All positive and no negative. The Ambiente course is a must play for Phoenix visitors.
The greens are very slippery. When you ground your putter it just slips and makes it hard to line up those birdie putts. HELP
Not for the meek
This course will challenge your skills and punish anyone trying to cut corners.
Great experience
Super friendly staff, from the bag drop off person, the clubhouse staff, the starter and finally the beverage cart girl, all very courteous and friendly.
The course was in great condition, manicured bunkers, lush fairways and quick greens. Perfect day
Nice course
Nice course. Greens were a bit hard and dry. Grass long on tee boxes. Bunker sand a bit gritty. Otherwise perfect
Awesome round
This course makes you use your course management skills to the hilt.
Play it right and you can make birdies and keep doubles off your card or ignore it and you could rack up triple or more.
Enjoy the challenge as much as I do every time I play Ambiente or Padre,
Slow Play
Started at 1:40, quit at 16th at 5:45 when light ran out. Play is TOO SLOW!
