Reviews of Camelback Golf Club (Golf)

Andrew Primiano

Flew in from NJ and saw the reviews of this course and I have to say, Loved every hole and every bit of experience from this Golf Club. The staff was very friendly, the price was great and the course was spectacular. If I ever come back to Arizona, I will be golfing here again!

John Modzelewski

2 beautiful golf courses with different play philosophies: Padre is a bit more open and more traditional "resort" course. Ambiente requires a little more target golf, and is less forgiving. Grass is in amazingly good condition for Dec 2018. I played with a member, but I'd be sure to play here if I were staying at an eligible resort.

Marck de Lautour

Enjoyed Ambiente. Cool layout. Fun but testing track. Driveable par-4, and long par 4's. Short and long par 3's. Good test of golf. Will have to try the other course next time

Graham Kehoe

Course was in GREAT shape for time of year (june - record temps) Club house staff where fantastic and made you feel welcome as where on-course marshalls. one of our group got a Hole in One and the club bought US (8) all a round of drinks.! No issues at all and will definately be returning.

Britton Scalf

Horrible place

Judi Naylor

Awesome course & the staff was most helpful & very friendly.

Sam Kelsall

Nice country club. Great view across the golf course. Good breakfast and lunch on Sunday morning. Golf also.

XYMarc Caporrimo

2 great golf courses, challenging.

Lucy Lawrence

My favorite place for a meal after church.

Suzanne Stout

Rick Antosch

Great track

John Tobin

This is another golf course that should be on every golfers wish to playlist when you arrive at the front door you are made welcome feel welcome and the staff are very very good at our job the course offers a very tough test for any standard of California the greens are magnificent and men tend to a very high standard the practice facilities are above and beyond all I have ever seen in most places

CJ Hatch

Great fairways and greens. Challenging

John S

Great food, service and views.

Davin Lavikka

Fast greens. And always in good shape. Bunkers are often soggy though.

Tyler W.

Consistently one of my favorite courses.

Lou Walsh

Padre course is beautiful!

Joe Valcik

Really nice urban course especially after remodel. Love the interactive system in the carts.

Aaron Schweitzer

Although I didn't golf well the course was nice and it was a great day

Mark van Ark

2 great golf courses with super friendly staff. Also a nice bar and restraint that looks over a very sceanic water feature and the 18th green

Carl Sorenson

Played there yesterday at the Padre course through golf now so the green fees were highly discounted. Course was in great shape especially considering it was August. Staff was very friendly much like at the Camelback inn. Overall a very good experience.

Jeff Prevey

Fast greens, totally different from several years ago.

Desert Rat

Two great golf courses. One, Padre, a treed resort course, the other, Ambiente, links style. Both courses are beautifully maintained with lightening fast greens. The pro shop is well stocked, the staff is as courteous as a Country Club. The restaurant and bar have great views, good food and outdoor seating. There are facilities for hosting events. All this in one of the best neighborhoods in town.

Played the Padre course. For the money very disappointed. Places like Whirldwind, Southern Dunes, Sunridge Canyon all around the same price as this are all much nicer.

Robert Lohrer

Disappointing. Here are the details: We are staying at the Marriott Camelback Resort. I definitely want to play golf but don't have my clubs. In the room, there's a card that says we have "complimentary range balls. Also, club rental is waived." So, I'm thinking it doesn't say explicitly what those clubs are for...playing the course or hitting range balls. It's left up in the air; could read it either way. The best I can say is it's unintentionally vague; the worst that it's purposely misleading. Sure enough, when I book my tee time (2:40) and arrive early to hit balls, I'm told the complimentary use of clubs is for the range only. No worries. I figured as much. So I pay the $40 rental. Oh, can I play the Padre course? Less expensive, probably less challenging? Oh, Padre is closed. Have to play the more expensive one. No problem. Can I walk? "Oh, no. Not really." No worries. I'll just take grab the cart and go hit some balls on the range. "Range closes at 2 p.m. Sorry." Well, I've got the cart and my clubs, so I'll hit a few putts. (At this point, I'm amazed that hitting a dozen practice putts doesn't get derailed.) Onto the first few holes. Hmmm. The GPS seems to be giving me pin positions that are contrary to what my eye sees. GPS says pin is back; my eye can plainly see pin is up. So, I'm pretty much over clubbing or under clubbing at holes 1 through 4 before I totally abandon the thing. Oh, one other thing: cart path only (CPO) makes playing infuriatingly long and slow: hit the ball down the fairway, drive, park, walk 40 yards to ball; hit it, walk 40 yards to cart. Fairway didn't feel wet. Oh, well. What really has me thinking this place just isn't up to snuff was the lack of sand in the bunkers. Wow. Like an underloved, under-funded muni. Four or five times I bounced the sand wedge on the thin layer of loose sand in the bunkers. Had I been playing my own clubs, I know how to turn the wedge to rectify this and take very little sand. Alas, I was using their clubs, the ones I was paying for, despite seeing the nice little card in my room that said, vaguely enough, "complimentary club use." Maybe they were right...should have just stuck to the range...if it hadn't closed early that day.

bridgette olsen

Loved this golf course! The most courteous and gracious staff!!

kurt korn

Played Padre 18. Good sight lines off tees, fast true greens, fairways overseeded and in near perfect shape. Not to challenging but not a push over either. Fun day, will be back.

Ann Henderson

Very beautiful facility and golf course. Food was wonderful and delicious. This is a great place.

Elizabeth Hicks

Great location and both courses were in great condition. We played both the Ambiente & Padre courses and had a challenging but fun experience.

Turner Binkley

Good

allan becerra

Great for morning golf

Chad Rasmussen

Enjoyed the course. Nice facility. Great greens

Garth Hedley

Padre course ... extremely boring bland unexciting design, not in great condition, parkland Midwest layout in Phoenix/Scottsdale .. a desert course more apt ... gimme a break, not worth the $$$.

TJ Gallo

Used to be an "ok" golf course, but has been drastically improved over the last few years. The course is of MUCH higher quality these days and should be considered for avid golfers and luxury golfers alike. Significantly improved fairways, greens, complexity and overall difficulty these days. Camelback has managed to maintain fair prices for such a great location for golfing...in the middle of Paradise Valley.

iden kalabat

Beautiful course, world class experience

Joel Jones

Beautiful greens

Geo Diaz

Always a beautiful place to be.

Daniel Belanger

Almost perfect, the overseeded greens werea bit slow but that is par for the course in Arizona early November.

Carl Moore

Tough conditions in Summer but 2 decent different tracks

Kevin Coble

One of the best golfing experiences in Arizona. Both courses are well maintained and challenging, yet quite playable. What really sets Camelback apart from most clubs is the service. You won’t find a better group of guys.

Jonathan Coffey

Played here for a tournament and loved the course. Great, well maintained facility and course. Overall a fun course as well, lots of challenging holes. The gift shop was reasonably priced (for a golf club) and the kitchen was delicious.

Manish Patel

Ambiente is a beautiful course. Fun to play and not crazy challenging.

Mark McCampbell

Friendly, plays fast, wide open par after par after par

JDub 84

Great place for golfing. They have two courses, one that has recently been remodeled, and both are challenging and have great views of Camelback Mountain.

Tom Elliot

Wonderful golf course in great shape

Rich Meek

Fist tee is the best!

jon duczak

Decent golf club. Layout of the Ambiente course is real dull. Mostly straight holes. 3.5 miles of front nine takes you straight away from the clubhouse and then you have 3.5 miles back in. Side by side.

Michael Roth

Always great food and pretty view of the mountains over the 18th hole and lake.

J A

Great views, top notch. Worth the price.

Samuel Smith

Beautiful course, a lot of fun!

Renee Spears

Larry Harlan

Great for large events.

Edel Lopez

Great place

Bobby Eckstein

Best golf experience I've ever had. It was my 25th birthday today and I went golfing with my girlfriend. I told the the very nice lady in the club house it was my birthday and while we were golfing the beer girl came by and was told by someone to not charge me for anything. We got a couple beers and some sandwiches and it made my day. Someday when I'm not a struggling college student I'll be a regular there. Everything about the course was perfect best greens I've ever played on.

Travis Pavlik

Previously I thought the conditions could have been a lot better and could use a remodel/different turf. I noticed the driving range had better conditions.

paul jay

Great golf course in the Scottsdale area to play. Price point right on target!

Alice Sanders

We played Ambiente and were very disappointing in the course for the price. When we called we were told one price and to our surprise charged more , than what was originally communicated. We decided to give the course a shot anyway, and were very disappointed in the pace of play as well as the marshaling. There was a group in front of us that was moving very slow as well as a group behind us that was thrown out at the last minute pushing up against us. This was very frustrating. Not worth the time or money to go to this course. The course was not worth what they charged and they provide you with rules at the start of your round, but don't enforce them out on the course. Much better places in Scottsdale available to golf at!

Du Li
