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.

Have to call BS

Arrive one hour before my tee time. Take advantage of the great range and short game area. Arrive at the first tee about 20 minutes before tee time. Told by the starter they are running late due to an hour long frost delay. BS the low the previous night was in the 40’s.

Finally tee off about 40 minutes after my scheduled time and 5 hours and 19 minutes later we finished the round.

The longest round I’ve ever played. One of the most expensive rounds I’ve ever played and although the golf course is fantastic the experience was pathetic.

Good shape

Course is in great shape. The tee boxes are good. Played the greens/tan tees. Nice advantage for the ladies. Greens were difficult to read and very fast.

Only downside was competing with the mowers at 12:40. Noisy and distracting.

Great Value

Granted I booked the “hot deal”, so I didn’t pay full price. But the value of what I paid compared to the quality and condition of the course was fantastic. Pace of play was great and it was a really fun course. I think the only downside was how residential it is. At least all of the homes were spectacular and you still get some mountain views. Will go again.
