Camelback Golf Club - Ambiente Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

nice Scottsdale course
beautiful course in great condition but slow greens
Great Course! Excellent Staff!
The course was in great condition. Super friendly staff! Played on a Tuesday morning and finished in 3.5 hours.
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.
Municipal At Best
For what they charged this wasn’t a good value. The course is municipal quality at best.
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.
New Years Round
The course was in beautiful shape and bounced back extremely well after some issues last year with conditions... the staff is SUPER- friendly and accommodating. I always try to bring guest here as the course layout, conditions, views and staff are all one of my favorites in AZ
A nice example of renovation that doesn’t go overboard
Out-and-back golf course routings are typically associated with the coastal links of Scotland, Ireland and England, but Ambiente sends golfers on a northwest-then-southeast journey along two miles of Scottsdale’s Indian Bend Wash. Architect Jason Straka’s 2013 renovation added some much needed sense of lateral flow to what were previously mostly straightaway par 4s and 5s, hemmed in by the unusual dimensions of the property. Clever fairway bunkering and the angling of greens give golfers the urge to work several tee shots and approaches in one direction or another. Homes run between wash and homes without ever feeling cramped. The Facilities are excellent and the staff are world-class in graciousness.
Great condition, great pace of play. Greens rolled great fast and true.
Ambiente is a solid track was in great shape and very fairly priced for in season golf.
Ambiente
Wonderful cup of course. I was able to get on at 2 PM and finish within three hours and 15 minutes.
