Camelback Golf Course -Ambiente

Overall Ranking: #8

Camelback has and 18 holes of exceptional links style golf (Ambiente) and 18 holes of resort golf (Padre- See rating below). This rating is all about the new course Ambiente…. Fantastic re-design in 2013!! Ambiente re-design came at a cost of 10 million dollars and is set on an unimpressive piece of land, however, the builders and designers did amazing work to transform this course into a real gem. Ambiente curves and contours have been thought out perfectly for the beginner golfer and intermediate golfers alike. Camelback Ambiente conditions are immaculate and surrounding areas bloom in the spring. An absolute treat to play February through April. Although the land is not impressive or Sonoran feel, the location is right in the middle of old town Scottsdale. This makes for an easy route to and from your vacation rental or hotel. The clubhouse is older, but most was re-done 2013 thru 2015, so nice place to grab lunch and a beer after round.
