Camelback Golf Club - Ambiente Course

All four players agreed the course should be priced at half of what it is to be comparable to others in the area. After the round was over we left because we couldn’t get bar or food service.

Over the course is fine - fairly straightforward out and back along the wash. Decent but not overly interesting compared to other courses in the area. There are a few areas off the fairway that were pretty rough and a few greens (16 and 17 I believe) were not what they should be with missing grass.)

Played Ambiente course and found the course conditions to be ok. Great practice facility. Range and putting green, chipping area. Good tee boxes, great fairway conditions. Some bunkers lack deep enough sand, so club would bounce into the ball. Most greens putted well, 4-5 were in poor shape. I think padre course was in better condition per the staff.

Great place to enjoy a round of golf.

Overall, excellent condition except there were a few burn out marks on the putting greens.

For $277.00, this Camelback track was in poor condition. Greens were bumpy and slow and several were totally damaged by fungus or whatever and were almost unplayable. Unfortunately "Greed-Flation" has impacted golf like everything else. It was a beautiful day and the staff and facilities were nice, but price being charged was ridiculous and the course condition was poor at best

This is usually in great shape and the greens are usually fast and pure - but today the greens were really hairy, probably only rolling at 7-8. Not expected for this course or the price that we paid.

Course condition has declined dramatically. Really unfortunate to see this beautiful turn into a dog track

I enjoyed the layout, it's very nice. However, the course was in very bad shape which was quite disappointing given this is the peak season. Tee boxes were good however there were a number of issues with the greens stemming from them being very bumpy (don't think they have been cut or rolled in some time) and there were several where the grass was dead or nearly dead and painted green to try and hide the issues. Fairways had a number of areas w/ no grass or very little grass. All in all it was a very disappointing experience given the amount of money it cost to play and knowing it is affiliated with the JW Marriott. My understanding is their second course is in much better shape but I did not have a chance to play that.

Great course and staff. Played full 18 in under 4 hours..

Some rough patches on a few greens but still rolled well..

Greens are in mostly decent condition but the fairways and rough are in very poor condition. Like about 50% grass coverage and the rest is either dirt or very thin grass coverage.

Ambiente has always been a favorite of mine so was somewhat disappointed in the current conditions. Greens were nowhere close to good. Several had large dead spots on them and most had random patches of poa. All in all not what you’d expect from a premium priced course. That said still had a great time and always love the feel, vibe and layout of Ambiente.

Course conditions weren’t great but had an awesome time playing this course. It’s a really fun course to play. Would play here again for sure.

More than half the greens were dead and basically painted and fairways were thin and poor. Apparently overseeing went badly, but not worth the price.

For the most part the course was in very shape but a few of the fairways were in spotty shape. The layout and atmosphere made up for this.

This is a course I always wanted to play… very disappointed when I got there range was closed couldn’t warm up course conditions were very poor nothing has been maintained has a great layout, but patchy grass everywhere. Greens were in horrible shape, fairways missing, decent grass having to move ball to hit off grass in the middle of the fairway. Very expensive and you feel like you’re playing rundown municipal course… there’s plenty of beautiful courses in the area for less money.. I feel like it’s running off its old reputation.

This a great layout! 10 holes out and 8 holes back the other way like a links course. Yeah there are some knocks about the quality of the grass in the fairways and poa on the greens. Most of the fairways are really good…if you are in a bad spot in a fairway, improve your lie. Poa on the greens is mainly around the edges of the greens so not a problem as the greens run true and there aren’t any difficult contours or slopes. It is a track a good player can score on and not too difficult for an average player.

Worn out/damaged/thin areas on most fairways. Had to move the ball and play preferred lies. The greens had significant clumps of poe annua grass which affected putting, especially by mid day. Great layout tho, but really unfortunate. Had played this course once before. Was really disappointed with the condition of what is supposed to be a premier course. Until this course has maintenance and condition issues fixed, will not play again.
