Camelback Golf Club - Ambiente Course

Reception very helpful. Jim, the starter was great! He went out of his way to get my wife a box of Kleenex given the cool temperatures. We did not have a cart GPS as they said they were replacing them. This meant I had to guess pin positions in terms of front, middle, back. We were paired with two friendly golfers so had an enjoyable round. The course was challenging emphasizing course management skills.

Ambiente is a links style course. The course conditions were beautiful - lush fairways, smooth rolling fast greens, killer rough, good sand. If your ball finds the long grass, you probably won’t find the ball. This course is a great play.

Friendly reception at check-in, cart attendants and starter. Excellent practice facilities. Was able to get an earlier tee time, played as a 2some and did not have to wait until the 14th hole. Even then, the 4some played quickly. A 3 hour round that was not rushed. Lush fairways, deep rough, lots of sand traps and lightning fast undulating greens made for quite the challenge. We were informed by the starter that there was no turn at the 9th hole. The ranger and beverage cart were out there as promised. The only thing that could be improved are the rather rough cart paths. Overall, a great experience.

Course was in great condition just not what I was expecting as far as scenery. The course is in a subdivision with no real scenic beautiful holes. Probably would not play it again. Plus it is $48 for a six pack of beer.

Great deal, first time playing, incredible greens perfect and fast. Great facility with a great practice facility. Great snack shop

This is a beautiful course in excellent condition. Great practice facilities for putting, chipping, etc. the four of us were not on our game that day so it played a little tough. Bunkers were our nemous as deep and large so difficult to get out of but overall the layout is good.

Always fun to play here. Started 12:30 on a Sunday, 30 minutes behind a 60 person tourney. Cushion evaporated by the 7th hole. However, total time for round was 4:15. Not bad. Pro Shop did a good job setting up that 30 minute gap between tourney and general play. Although play slowed down precipitously when we caught tourney, overall time was still acceptable.

It was a very slow 6 hour round, i didnt realize that this course unlike the other one on the resort didnt end its 9th hole at the club house so we were unable to get food and beverages like we had planned. Just so happened that a cart person was sick and only had one beer cart for 2 courses... the course is nice but nothing too spectacular and if i pay this much for a round i like to have all the other amenities or else i would just go pay 40-80$...+

Camelback is a course set in the valley with views of camelback mountain from most holes. The Ambiante course is a solid layout, however many holes have a sameness to them. The greens were in awesome shape, much better than the other courses I played coming out of the overseeding process. I enjoyed the course and put it in the solid second tier behind the big boys in town (Troon North, We Ko Pa, Quintero).

Ambiente is one of the top 5 courses to play in the valley! I have played all the big names.... Boulders, Troon, We Ko Pa.... etc and Ambiente is always as good if not better playing condition. Such a wicked deal in the offseason.

The conditions are always stellar and the native grass lined fairways and bunkers are always maticulously maintained. They always have the best condition and truest rolling greens out of all the courses I play when I’m in town. It’s not super challenging, but I think it’s the best mix of challenge and beauty.

If you haven’t played here you got to!

We hadn’t planned to golf today but booked it last minute and the links style layout was a lot of fun and a nice change. Worth the trip.

I had played the padre course and though i enjoyed it I would not rank it amond the top courses locally; not so with Ambiente. I played the green tees which measure around 6,700 plus yards and of all the lcoal courses I have played this year, Ambiente was in the best condition tee to green of any of them. And, I have been consistently shooting in the low to mid '70's but had to birdie 18 here for an 83. I love the greens because though you could tell they had been verti-cut and sanded within the last month, they rolled true and reasonably fast with NO grain. It is hard to find a course around here without grain on the greens and that is a real treat for me. I found the green tees extremely challenging on most all the holes with trouble on one side or the other so you had to play the ball to the correct side to avoid sand or deep rough. When I play the course again, I will hit more 11 degree drivers than my 8 degree because the extra yardage kept me in trouble most all day. The par 3's require long irons and the too, have trouble on one side or the other. The staff from pro shop to cart staff to beer wagon girl were all very friendly and welcoming and as I was a single and the course was farily crowded, I was pleaasantly surprised at how quickly I was waved through by all the 3-somes and 4-somes I encountered. I ended up playing i 3 hours due to the courtesy of the other golfers. Will definitely play again!

One of the advantages of playing an older course is the amount of grass - these guys know how to take care of it. The greens are the best I've played for this time of year - they actually putt true!

First time playing this course. The staff was one of the friendliest I've seen at a course. The greens were in superb shape for July and had some speed to them. The links style layout is beautiful and there is a nice mix of length par fours.

Staff was awesome! Course was in great shape. Play was fast. Highly recommend!

This was our first visit to this course, staff very friendly, starter very accommodating to course layout. Would highly recommend playing this course. Will return next trip through AZ.

This course is one of the best public courses in the State. It is challenging and will make you think on every hole. I was shocked to see a $30.00 rate in the summer. This course is a steal a $50.00 in the summer. The greens were punched about two weeks ago but they are coming back nice. I would highly recommend this course to anyone that has a golf game.
