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.

Nice round and scenic

The course conditions were very good. The greens are hard and difficult but fair.

We happened to catch views of local wildlife in the middle of Paradise Valley. Coyote, bobcat, wild boar and a pair of gold eagles. Pretty cool.

Camelback Golf Resort

We enjoyed our round. The fairways and greens were in very good shape especially for January. A few of the holes and greens were very challenging so be forewarned. Enjoyed having a snack cart, too. Restrooms were positioned well.

Amazing Staff! Great Course!

The entire staff is what stood out. I had two tee times with family in town from Nebraksa. The staff was welcoming from the moment we pulled up. Helping with clubs, assuring carts had the correct bags on the carts. Golf course is always in great condition. Greens had some pace too them which compared to other public courses usually is a good. Thank you to your staff from start to finish making our day a fun one!
