Camelback Golf Club - Ambiente Course

Have played Camelback padre 10 yrs ago enjoyed the course, Ambiente not so much, nothing against links layout but for craps sake many long walks from where I park ur cart to the green, I was tired just walking back and forth from cart to green and back, way to far away, it ruined our day

Top 3 course in the valley for value. Always a pleasure playing Ambiente!

When coming to this course after seeing so many great reviews we were somewhat disappointed with what we got. Pros of this course were that it was in good shape (besides the aerated greens) and people were very nice with lots of small amenities. Pace of play was also very solid. Cons of this course were that every hole was pretty much the same and the scenery just never stood out. At the end of the day the price was just way too high for an average course. Having aerated greens is something that happens but we showed up without warning and paid in full.

We had previous played Las Sendas the day before and thought that course outperformed this one in almost every category for 50 dollars less.

It was not a bad experience and the course was in good shape but I guess we were just expecting more with some of the reviews we had seen.

My father in law who is not a nice reviewer says “Catfish ?”

Honestly I love both courses at Camelback CC. Ambience is the most unique course you’ll play in Arizona. The staff is great and the course will test your skill with multiple tee boxes/combos.

Fun course, interesting and challenging. Staff are always friendly.

Played sand course ;5 days ago and was in much better shape and half the cost

Let's start with the good ...

Pace of play was excellent. I played here with my son who is a hack at best and we finished in 4:10 during a cart path only round. Greens were very good and rolled true the entire round. The restaurant food was excellent and all the staff was very friendly.

The "Meh" ...

The starter began by telling us wonderful things about the architects that built a course that doesn't drain very well. Ok, it's Arizona and that's likely not important. The course is completely unremarkable and I believe overpriced for the layout. I played at Raven, Verrado, Southern Dunes and Raven this week and each course had holes/shots that were memorable. Camelback is totally forgettable.

Please understand that this does not mean it's a bad course, it's just very vanilla and the day after playing it I can't think of a single hole that made me go "wow" or recall it later. My son agreed as did the other twosome, (they played Phoenician prior), that there's nothing special here. Just regular golf with excellent greens but I don't think it justifies the price.

I'd play here again if I wasn't paying but would play other courses instead.

Although due to rain in the morning，some areas were flooded

Just did not fit my game very well. Go right off the tee going to be a long day. Large bunkers in play on every hole.

This is an expensive course, but overall experience was excellent. Conditions excellent overall; greens were good, but really sandy and seemed like they used green dye to make them appear more green (golf ball would pick up green sand/grass)

If you are looking for a great resort golf experience you won’t be disappointed

Enjoyed the course but wasn't wet enough to
warrant cart path only.

Make sure to check your reservation confirmation price or they will charge you more than what you originally booked it for.

BEAUTIFUL CLUB! Very well maintained courses! Staff were great! There was a mix up with my shuttle transportation from the JW Marriott Camelback Inn to the golf club and the general manager of the resort and the gentleman working in the golf clubs pro shop made sure I was well compensated for my inconvenience. True class act!!
