This was a surprise in rough! Blindly booked this course last minute as a warm up course for Arizona golfing. The price was spot on. The staff was great. The facility was beautiful. read more

Camelback Golf Club - Rest stop view. - Golf Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I really love this golf club. It has two, eighteen hole courses - Padre and Ambiente. They have totally different landscapes and if you are golfing during the warmer months I would recommend Padre because it is a bit cooler and has a *little* more shade. Ambiente is very challenging and if you lose your ball - leave it. Pass on digging in the fescue (snakes). The course is well maintained as it is a Marriott owned property. The hotel is about 10 minutes from the course and there is a shuttle. The entire staff is awesome and super friendly. The food is good! I recommend the breakfast burrito from the cart or anything from the restaurant. You know it's going to be a great day when playing this course! Fore! read more

I can't speak for the golf, except that the course is beautiful, but I want to talk about the Mother's Day brunch. This is the second time my family and I have been here for the Mother's Day brunch, because it is wonderful. The service is spectacular! Our server, Mary Ann, took such great care of us. The buffet was delicious. They had a huge spread with traditional breakfast foods with pancakes, bacon, eggs benedict, etc. Along with lots of yummy lunch options with lamb, prime rib, mashed potatoes, etc. And of course lots of fruit, cheese, meats, vegetables, and more. Everything tasted amazing and was being refreshed often. The views are gorgeous and it really made the day feel so special. If you are looking for a luxurious Mother's Day brunch, you've found it! read more

Clubhouse bar/ restaurant is never open. Always some large private event. No warning just always closed.

This is a very nice property, rivaling a private club. Owned by Marriott, they have deals if you stay on property. We did not, but played both courses with no issue. The allegiance is a tough links layout--3 miles out band back. Played tough, with the rough consuming balls at every turn. The pther 9, Pines, played easy in January, but will be much tougher once the tough comes back to life (still lots of water). Great courses, great clubhouse. read more

Played the Padre course with my son September 5th. Everything about this place was first class. Course was in great shape, price was decent, and pace of play was no problem. Any employee we came across was helpful and/or friendly or both. Would recommend for sure Jeff G. read more

Ambiente is a really fun golf course. I have golfed here many times, and both Padre and Ambiente are good, the green is in good shape, so are the tee boxes. Most of the time you can play 18 holes, though I would request that you should tee off before 12:00 P.M., otherwise it might take longer. Bottom line this is a great golf course. read more

Can't say enough nice things about the staff! They were a pleasure to work with as I arranged my first ever corporate golf outing for about 120 people. Shiloh and his team were MVP during the day of the event as they helped my group fund their carts, set up theirs bags and answered a million questions regarding the course. I unfortunately did not get a chance to go out to the course but all of my golfers comeback saying how well kept and beautiful it was. read more

Played this course on October 15. It started pouring rain about three holes in. We decided to stay out and complete the round. When we were packing up to leave my cousin and I forgot our amp caddy phone mounts on the cart since we were in a rush to get out of the rain. Only one of our mounts were found when I went back the next day. No one went out on the course after us during the rain storm so it had to be an employee that took one of the mounts. They are only $14 so it's not a big deal but you would think that a nice course like this would have honest employees. read more

This place is the worst! Lazy, rude employees! Course in bad shape, slow play, people not raking the bunkers and no rangers to be found. No thanks, I'll play courses that appreciate their guests especially when we buy the summer pass and bring a bunch of business to them. read more

I went there for a gala dinner and it was a very nice evening. The service is impeccable. The grounds are beautiful and the food was nice. If I played golf, this would be a nice course to play. It's nestled near the mountain and the scenery is picturesque. read more

The Camelback Golf Club has two 18 hole tracks - the Indian Bend which is a links style track and the Padre course. There was a mix up BC I booked the Indian Bend course and when I arrived they informed me this course was closed and we would play the Padre course which was cart path only! This was disappointing BC my partner had a foot injury and could only play 9 holes. She ended up going to the clubhouse after 9 holes and I golfed on by myself between and foursome and threesome. The manager behind the counter was a good sport and she gave a large discount on some apparel purchased. Since I booked this on line at a discount the manager advised us of what i needed to do to get a credit on one round which I did and was credited one green fee. The course here is older so it's not as challenging or as long as newer courses but is kept in good shape. The greens are flat and not as pristine as the higher end courses but then again the rates are much less! One pro here were the carts which are equipped with GPS. This really takes the guess work out of calculating your yardage to to pin. The end result was good and I was happy with Camelback management resolution to the mishap. I'll return some day to play the Indian bend links style course. read more

We have golfed here in the past and what keeps us coming back is the well upkept course and the 5 star service. Seth was very nice to us when we returned from our round. It is a breath of fresh air to see people that are pleasant and do a great job. As a business owner I can only dream of having such great employees! See you next year! read more

What is like to play Camelback??? First, its a dog park, so you have to dodge all the dog owners playing fetch. Second, its great for soccer and flying kites. The best part, the staff doesnt car or do anything about it!!!! Seriously, who flies a kite on a golf course??? read more

The best part of this golf course are the mature trees that line the course. It's obvious this course has been around for awhile and it has the charm that comes with one that isn't brand new. This course is less "deserty" than most and I liked that. One thing that surprised me was the amount of wildlife we saw! On one hole, two bobcats had decided to "peacefully" lounge under the trees in the shade, right by my tee box. The bobcats didn't seem aggravated but I decided not to take the chance and moved on down the course without teeing off that hole. The amenities are only ok and they didn't have much of a restaurant but the cart girls were on top of it and friendly! Overall I enjoyed my time here and would come back. It's not as nice as other courses but it's still enjoyable and the price is right! I also learned that they are about to open a new course which looks really nice so I can't wait to give it a try! read more

This is the best golf course I have ever played. There was not a dead spot and not a lot of divots in the fairway. The greens had perfect roll and were just perfect. They had not mud spots and beautiful holes. I love this course! read more

The was the worst maintained course I've played on, maybe ever. I could see more brown dirt than green grass on much of the fairways and even the greens. I won't go back and I will tell people to avoid. read more

Pretty nice course and usually never exeptionally crowded. The staff is friendly good with small talk. If you schedule your tee time online, you can get half off the rates in the Summer. Oh...and there'a a lady that works the walk up concession near the stairs to pro shop. This woman makes the best damn Bloody Marys (outside of a bar)! Perfect to either loosen me up to play or use as an excuse for playing poorly! Hahaha! read more

This feels like a course that was great 15 years ago and has been slowly cutting costs for the past decade or so to boost margins or just to stay in business. Nice, professional outside support staff but other than that not impressed. I won't be coming back because I can play much better courses for comparable greens fees (Quintero, we ko pa, troon north, etc) read more

Extremely disappointed in everyway. Me and my wife were taken off a foursome and moved to a twosome because we were 3 minutes behind. Some guy hounded us a number of times and to be honest me and my wife will not be coming back. My wife and I golf every weekend. Not worth 120 a piece just to be harassed and discriminated against at 3 minutes behind. WOW read more

Make sure to check reservation confirmation because they will charge you more than what you booked it for online if not.

Played here today with a buddy of mine. Arrived at the course and gave the cart guy my bag.. when I went up to pay the absurd green fees of $90 dollars.. I came back to find that the staff had gone threw my bag and removed all the beverages I brought. I personally thought it was a little strange for them to open my bag up and take my belongs out of it. In regards to the course.. it was extremely boring and flat.. the greens were filled with sand..seemed as though they had just punched the greens.. in the middle of April? Anyway, would highly recommend not playing here, it is a complete dog track and the staff will go threw your personal belongings. Only reason for the 2 stars is because the starter (older gentleman forgot his name) was very polite and professional.. read more

Went here today for lunch at the clubhouse and had a fantastic meal with great service. It had been over five months since my mom had been there but the waiter recognized her from afar and asked how we had been and said he was glad to see us again. Very nice and genuine guy. I got the club sandwich which was very good (have had better but a very solid sandwich). It was really big and had enough leftover for a snack I will be looking forward to later today. Dad had tuna salad sandwich which was good and also big, mom had the sliders which are normally an appetizer but seemed to be perfect for someone who isn't really hungry but still is ready for lunch. Overall, service was great, very nice dining room, not very busy, great view, and good food. Will definitely come back. read more

Goat track. Played Ambiente at the last minute for $51. Decent deal for summer golf in Phoenix. No aeration warning at booking and no grass on the course. If you like hard pan tee boxes, play here. Extremely disappointing. read more

Terrible experience. Family golf trip and we were playing a scramble and the old, angry members were mad that we enjoyed golf. There are a lot of golf courses in Phoenix and I would for sure avoid this one. read more

Beautiful course to play on and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable! They get busy on weekends so you may get paired up if it's just two of you! But we got lucky with a great couple :) read more

I keep hearing about Ambiente Golf Club, so I decided to book a tee time. They have 18 holes at Camelback Golf Club, and Ambiente is brand new and opened in November of 2013. The course has an incredible layout, and while hard, was a really good challenge. The bunkers are well placed, there is plenty of water, and once this course has time to mature, it will be one of the best in the Valley. The staff was really, great too. I got to meet with Filippa McDougall and we talked about her history with the golf course. From the time I pulled in until I finished 18 holes, it was a great experience all the way around. I can't wait to get back and play the other golf course. UPDATE: I got the chance to play the Padre Course. Everyone that has played it said it was easy. It is NOT easy! The course makes you think about every golf shot, and you have to consider what to hit off every tee. It was fun, and I could see myself getting really good out there after playing the course 4 or 5 times. The greens are in great shape, too offering more break than you see. I also can't get enough of their practice facility. Both courses are good, and are both completely different. If you can, play 36 for 2 completely different golfing experiences. FORE! read more

I went to a wedding here. The grounds were very nice and the staff was attentive. Getting out was sort of a nightmare and I ended up on Scottsdale Road somehow. Not really a negative, though - I actually had fun looking at all the faux-Tuscan homes. Why only three stars? On the way in, some dude in a polo asked, "they didn't tell you it was a golf-themed wedding?" Yuk, yuk, yuk. I'm easily annoyed. I'm sure if I actually played golf, this place would get five stars. read more

I played Camelback - Indian Bend Course, today and had a very pleasant time. It is a flat, easy course with very little elevation change. A golfer need not be able to hit the ball long, as there are no holes that require a carry. They had over seeded the course several weeks before, so it would be hard to tell what condition the fairways would be when grown in. However, the greens were perfect, although fairly hard. It is a well maintained course, and the facilities are befitting a resort course. This was a practice round for me, as I just wanted to try the course during the low rate season. I played two and sometimes three balls, as there was no one behind me, and a foursome in front. So it was quite an enjoyable morning, and I would recommend this course, especially in the summer season - since there are numerous trees to sit under, and it isn't very crowded. I wish I had the option to give it 3.5 stars - I liked it better than the Orange Tree Resort, as it was maintained better, and didn't seem as old. More importantly, the greens were much better that Orange Tree's, and the facilities were much, much better. But Orange Tree's course was a little more challenging, had more doglegs, and more water hazards that came into play. read more

One of the best courses for value in the metro area. At the bag drop the staff is exceptional and second to none. The practice facility is great and the range is wide open with several spots for golfers. I've never seen anyone waiting. There are two courses, Ambiente, which is more of a links course, is more challenging and very pretty. And Padre, which is the more traditional course, also has some great golf holes. Both have good restrooms and water available on the course. Highly recommend, you can play both in one day. read more

We had a tee time this morning for ambiente course. $100 round in August.... that's fine course is in good shape. We got an early tee time so we could get done early. Because of the rains last night they close the padre course and put everyone that was on that course on Ambiente. Everyone that was on the padre course got to switch and play and pay $70 for the nicer course. Over a 5 hour round because they doubled up the course and still made us pay the $100 instead of $70 like others. The whole reason we paid $100 was to get on a nicer course and get done fast. Just bad business.... read more

I'll try to be fair but I don't think I was treated fairly myself. When I booked the tee time in Oct in Phoenix it is advisable to ask about over seeding on any cousre. I was skeptical of work being so close so I asked in very specific language "Have you done ANY work to prepare for over seeding, growth retardant, mowed short?" also "Are you going to be doing any work while we are playing our round today?" The answer was and I quote the lady working the pro shop register. "No, we are going to have a tournament tomorrow. After the tournament we'll close the course for the work then" We paid our money and went to carts. the attendants informed us the driving area was closed due to mowing and it would be quite a while before it would open. Ok, no problem, we chipped around and when our tee time was up we went to first tee. I guess we should have actually looked at course before we paid. Upon arriving at first tee box. All the fairways were brown. The attendant informed us that growth retardant had been sprayed 2 days before and he was amazed it worked in such a short time. He also went on to say he played a round the day before and it was playable but just brown. I grumbled about the fact I had asked if any work was done and was lied to but we teed off and started our round. Since it was a business outing we were kind of stuck. On the fairway... not only was the growth retardant sprayed but all the grass was removed by mowing very short. It was a goat patch. Every shot in the fairway for the whole course was pretty much hitting off a little dead grass or dirt. Around the greens the second cut was done the same way. A little further out there was some 2" Bermuda rough. So basically we paid to play either in Bermuda rough or off the dirt, tee to green. Needless to say, I feel I was deceived into paying for a round on a course that was completely unplayable and worse our business outing was ruined. Just on principal, I probably won't waste the time to go back and see if it is a good course with actual grass on the fairways and around greens. Greens were good. Fast and rolled great. But that did not make up for dishonesty and deceit. read more

Excellent service and course. We had a wonderful time. Due to the season, it was Cart Path only and we never experienced slow play. 4hr 15min play. Definitely will play again read more

I had a fun time playing the course. My son played with me and did relatively well considering the does not normally play golf. The staff is very friendly. We were the last group of the day and ended taking with the guy who handled the cart returns about Giant's baseball. Overall the course was in good condition. The greens were in great condition, but the fairways were only ok. Maybe it was too dry or the normal conditions due to the hot weather The best thing about the course was that the price was right. read more

This course is one of the best in the area, it's definitely a hidden gem. Tee off was at 9:50 and our group was a bit rowdy, yet the workers were still very polite and cracked a few jokes with us. We got beer, water and snacks at the snack shop, they were all so nice even though it took us like 10 minutes for everyone to agree on drinks! The course was so beautiful and almost every hole there was a worker on a golf cart asking if we needed anymore water. In Arizona, water is a NECESSITY and I feel like they were very caring and making sure no one was passing out from dehydration. Great course, great workers, I'll be back!!! Maybe when it cools off though read more
