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.

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,

Fun day

Even though it was cart path only, we finished in just around four hours and fifteen minutes. Course was in really good shape and the greens were firm and fast. Staff could not have been any more friendly and helpful. The range of tee selection, should accommodate any level of player. Short and long holes will enable you to use just about all of your clubs. Lots of picturesque landscape to look at as you make your way out and back.

4 hour round

Cart path only. Winter rye is pretty grown in. A little wet in places but great greens and good bunkers.

Overpriced

Nice course but not worth $200. Crabgrass all over. Greens were decent.
