Camelback Golf Club - Ambiente Course
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.

Golfer Reviews
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
Worst experience ever
Group behind us was yelling all day on every green, yelling and cursing at us. Nothing like anything I have ever experienced, made the round unplayable. Rangers did not do anything.
Fun course
1st time playing this course and would definitely play again. The layout was nice. In really good condition.
Great time!
This was my first time playing at Camelback. They aerated ambiente approximately 6wks ago . Tee to green are true. Lush fairways, soft sand traps. Greens were pretty fast and in great condition for this time of year. Staff is genuinely friendly from outdoor services, ranger, pro shop, and beverage lady. You could easily make this your daily course. Other clubs should take note of their hospitality!
Great track!
I highly recommend going to play the Ambiente course at Camelback. The greens are in amazing shape right now! Some of the best in the valley in my opinion. The location is perfect as its right in the middle of Scottsdale. The clubhouse and amenities on site are great as well! Must play when in the area!
Bare mud tee boxes
Fine layout, great pace of play (first thing in the morning) but the course conditions hint at a course that is not being maintained well. Greens were the best part of the course. However, tee boxes that were only bare dirt and washed out bunkers full of rocks and debris tell me that this place doesn't have much of a future.
Nicest course in Scottsdale
The wife and I recently moved to the Mesa are and have been playing a couple of courses a week.
Camelback was by far the best so far. Everything met our expectations and it was a great value for the price.
Thank you!
