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
Not what we were expecting.
Booked this course for 6/9 after never playing it before along with 3 friends. We were all super excited to play at such a nice place. Unfortunately it wasn't a good experience. Not only were the Greens just freshly aerated but the entire course was aerated. It was also very wet in certain places, had to play out of mud or grass that OK but was actually just mud underneath. It was nearly impossible to hit a straight putt. The biggest problem is that we were not warned or notified that the course was aerated. We would have never paid the price to play a course in this condition. The course website or GolfNow normally give you a warning but not this time. I'm sure it's an amazing place when in decent condition.
Great value
Good track for the money. Greens nice and quick
Favors a draw out and back. Not friendly to slicers. Okay I fade.
dry hard greens
The summer heat is coming and the course is showing a few burned out spots. The greens were dry and hard. The ball would roll off easily. Oddly several of the aprons to the greens were wet. So you could either hit into the apron and have the ball stop or land on the green and hope it didn't roll off. The rest of the course was pretty decent shape. Carts ran smooth and had GPS on them.
Great course
Always a great course. Wonderfully managed. Very appreciative of staff attentiveness with social distancing. Pace of play was good. Course conditions are pretty good considering time of year. Layout will give you all you can handle. I’m a mid handicapper who played green tees would recommend the combo tee options if your not sure. I should have done so.
Our favorite course in the area
Everything is top notch! Practice facility is excellent. Layout and conditions are fantastic!!
Last minute course change
We got there and said we had to change to Padre course, and we were pushed back about a half in your...we have never been able to play abiente yet..keep trying...so we got the Padre.. .little disappointed but staff was polite about it and the course was nice
One of our favorites!
Ambience has a great layout excellent conditions! I especially enjoy checking out the mansions surrounding the golf course. This is one of out favorites!
LONG & STRAIGHT
You’d better be able to hit them long and straight off the tee box. Some of the berm was 150-200 yds wide, before you found the fairway. And if you missed the fairway, it was tough to find your ball in the long grass. The fairways also had plenty of sand traps along the sides, in the middle, and guarding the green.
Other than that, the course is in great shape.
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..
