Camelback Golf Club - Ambiente Course

T offs were pristine, greens hard but playable. Rough is long and challenging

Played Ambiente on a Sunday afternoon as a 3-some. Pace of play was great right at 4 hours which I can't ask for more than that. I enjoyed the layout and the views and the proximity to where I am staying near Fashion Mall. The condition left a little bit to be desired... greens were much slower than expected and inconsistent. Also, there was crabgrass-type stuff growing around the 1-2 feet perimeter of most bunkers. All-in with fees I paid under $200 at peak season and on a weekend so I'll live with that anytime, but at the full price $350-400 it would have been a little more disappointing to see. Assuming they fix these conditions, this course would be one of my favorites in the area.

Interesting layout for those of us who play in the US. But All in all a fun layout.

Biggest criticism is that the greens are very hard and therefore cannot hold a shot except from close or one you can spin.

Played in 4 hours even though the back 9 played a little slow but the Marshall was around to make sure people moved along.

Enjoyed playing Ambiente. Driving area very fair. Excellent fairway conditions. Best traps I have played in Phoenix this year. Nice practice facilities.

One of my favorite Scottsdale / Phoenix courses. Cordial staff and helpful.

Course is amazing with great views. Pro shop is outstanding. Best logo in Arizona

First time playing Camelback and the Ambiente course did not disappoint. Other than a frost delay, the course and the day was perfect. Links style course that can be very challenging if the wind picks up. Course conditions were very, very nice. I'd recommend this course to everyone.

I played Camelback-Abiente for the first time on January 2nd, 2023. I was fortunate that the course was open as there had been a tremendous amount of rain the previous two days. There was flooding on the course but it was still playable. The greens held up incredibly well. My ratings on the course conditions reflect the weather. I am sure if it was a normal day, my rating would have been Excellent. I would play this course, again, and would recommend it to a friend.

Played sand course ;5 days ago and was in much better shape and half the cost

Let's start with the good ...

Pace of play was excellent. I played here with my son who is a hack at best and we finished in 4:10 during a cart path only round. Greens were very good and rolled true the entire round. The restaurant food was excellent and all the staff was very friendly.

The "Meh" ...

The starter began by telling us wonderful things about the architects that built a course that doesn't drain very well. Ok, it's Arizona and that's likely not important. The course is completely unremarkable and I believe overpriced for the layout. I played at Raven, Verrado, Southern Dunes and Raven this week and each course had holes/shots that were memorable. Camelback is totally forgettable.

Please understand that this does not mean it's a bad course, it's just very vanilla and the day after playing it I can't think of a single hole that made me go "wow" or recall it later. My son agreed as did the other twosome, (they played Phoenician prior), that there's nothing special here. Just regular golf with excellent greens but I don't think it justifies the price.

I'd play here again if I wasn't paying but would play other courses instead.

Although due to rain in the morning，some areas were flooded
