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.

Interesting layout
Aprons are too soft. They are mowed to allow links style bump and run but are too soft.
Great track, course was in excellent condition, had one of the best hotdogs before our round, will be back, friendly staff.
Canadian golfer
Tee boxes and fairway great condition, greens in good condition still coming back from getting punched but still rolled great just not 100% like 85 lol! I’ll be back love it there
Good course
Course tee boxes and fairways were in very good shape. Greens are still recovering a bit . $90 is a bit excessive for summer conditions
Semi Disappointed
Putting aside the course got pretty messed up with the rain, the greens were uncharacteristically bumpy. The course staff is always friendly. My biggest gripe is pace of play. They just can’t get that down. Today was a mess and took way too long to play. If I were a member I would be extremely upset. The rangers need to tell people to pick up. Too many people search too long for balls they will never find in the long grass. The tee sheet also needs to be managed better.
Great course
The course was in very good shape considering the damage that had been done during the storm. Only reason for rating it a little lower than excellent. And having a foursome in front of you playing for money and taking a very long time that slowed down the pace of the play.
Cut the grass - Needs more trees
Not a fan of the links style golf course
Not enough shade
I won't be playing this course until these 2 things change
Fun course
1st time playing this course and would definitely play again. The layout was nice. In really good condition.
