Solid

Great from tee to green. Greens were just verticut but seem to roll true, just a touch more grain affecting putts than normal. Just so good though! Already looking to play Ambiente again next week.

General good playing conditions

Course was playing well; some tee boxes could use leveling; fairways and traps were in good shape; greens were very firm and somewhat slow. Pace was good, as was value. Starter/Ranger Rick was very cordial and truly appreciated the players visiting his course. Book a tee time soon as their rates will shortly ascend and become unaffordable.

First Time

Our first time playing the Ambiente course was a great experience. The course is in fabulous condition. The layout is fair for all levels of golfers. Wide fairways and large greens. The stafff was very friendly and helpful with how to play. Will definitely be going back to Camelback GC and take friends along.

Fun and challenging course

First time playing and was not disappointed. Course layout is challenging and forces you to make golf shots and be accurate off the tee box. For the extreme heat the fairways and greens were in good condition. Will be playing here again.
