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.

Spectacular
From the time you arrive until you leave, the staff is amazing. Friendly, personable and great service. We were thanked numerous times for coming out & playing here. Wonderful feeling to be welcomed. Golf course was in magnificent shape. Pace of play was incredible. They run this place like the way it should be run. This is my 3rd time playing here and was well worth it each time. The Ambiente course is the nicest of the two. Paste is mice but not as lush as the Ambiente. I prefer the Ambiente. Thanks to all that made our day that much better !
Cheers!
Course in great condition
The tees, fairways and green were all in great condition. The greeting staff, starter and Marshall were all very friendly and helpful. The greens rolled true but were a little slow considering they had been rolled that morning. Overall a great day of golf.
Enjoyable
Very straightforward course with fair layout. Many greens rewarded shots onto correct levels. Conditions are perfect. Can't wait to come back and play again..
Fun track
You should be able to shoot your handicap here. Straightforward, resort course with impeccable greens. The par 3s are long and tricky. Better courses out there but this one is fun and playable for a wide range of golfers.
Fantastic
Wonderful course, fantastic shape, beautiful greens. All staff was wonderful. Cannot go wrong playing here. Pace of play was perfect. Rangers on course were friendly and thankful you were out there playing their course. Thanks you ya all. Please play here , you will not be disappointed!
Great track
Links In the desert. Always a great day at Camelback
Perfect golf day
The course is in outstanding condition. The fairways are immaculate and the greens roll as true as you could possibly hope. The desk staff was just a bit humorless, but staff on the course were outstanding. This was a Saturday and when the foursome in front of us quit, we never saw another group on the course. Highly recommended.
Better of the two courses
A well laid out links style course with well defended sloping greens. The course was in excellent condition and I will definitely ply it again my next time through Scottsdale.
Beautiful golf course, excellent condition.
Great golf course, great condition, and we got a great deal using my credit. The staff is not too friendly especially the guy in the Pro Shop as he was not very accommodating. The starter however was very nice.
This is a great course and loved it
This was a great course and in fantastic condition when we played it. Weaves down and back and very interesting layout. It is very expensive but worth it one time for sure
Spectacular
This is a spectacular course. Pretty challenging and rather unforgiving. Extraordinary condition, I mean it was immaculate. Not a great score, I’ll be back to try again!
Fantastic Experience
I played Camelback (both Ambiente and Padre) from 12/29 - 1/3. I purchased an unlimited golf package and played about 36 holes a day. Both courses are in incredible shape. Personally, I preferred Ambiente, as the greens were a little too difficult for me on Padre. I got to know many members of the staff over the time I was there and they were exceptional. They were very welcoming and accommodating. I had a blast playing here and I will be back again for sure!
A Real Stunner
The money they put into this course so worth it. Immaculate shape-- best greens played all year. Smooth and super fast. I have played some nice courses but this exceeds all.
Great in town course
The fairways where in great shape and the greens were fast and perfect, the tee boxes were also plush. The course property is very long and shaped like a paper clip. The fairways are wide enough and forgiving. Some of the traps on the first couple holes had nice sand, after that they were hard as a rock (reason for 4). This is a very nice place, a little older but very well kept.
I golfed it on a free deal from Golf Now
Golf in Paradise
Wonderful desert links style golf course. A course that has a good number of hazards which will catch errant shots,
There is rough but recovery is very doable. Like any fine course there is plenty of risk-reward choices. Excellent sand traps which will make one pay for that off target shot. Greens need to be read carefully. Beautiful planting as one would expect from a fine course and great wildlife. There is no better way to spend 4 hours.
