Camelback Golf Club

Had a fantastic round at Camelback Golf Club during our Scottsdale trip. The setting alone makes it special — incredible views of Camelback Mountain and classic desert golf scenery all around. The course was in excellent condition, with beautifully maintained fairways and fast, true greens. The layout is fun and challenging at the same time, with enough variety to keep every hole interesting. What really stood out was the overall experience — friendly staff, great pace of play, and a relaxed Scottsdale golf vibe. After the round, the clubhouse is a perfect spot to unwind and relive a few good shots (and a few we’d rather forget). If you’re planning a golf trip to Scottsdale, Camelback is definitely a course worth adding to the list.

Overall course was in great condition and views were nice. Main reason for the low rating is pace of play. My buddy and played this course around Noon on a Friday, the Ambiente. They failed to disclose the course double booked a scramble thirty minutes before our tee time, front nine took 3 hours and 30 minutes, and total round came in right under 6 hours!! Best part, we saw the Marshall several times and asked him for an update, to switchover to the second course or some type of credit, versus simply shrug his shoulders and said nothing I can do.. very disappointing, especially for a course that charges north of $230.

Really enjoyed my round here. Conditions were great. Could improve with more visits from the beverage cart.

I have three times played Camelback GC, Ambiente all three times. I really like the course and its conditions. Greens/tee boxes are in good shape and the driving range is good as well. Two big negatives, the price! Yesterday I paid $368. C’mon man! It’s nice but you are not We Ko Pa!! Secondly, and most aggravating, the pro shop staff. All three times, the staff is unfriendly (tall thin kid) and disinterested in being helpful or courteous. For $368, I would expect more. If you hate the service industry, go be a coder somewhere. Your job is to be welcoming, kind, and appreciative. Do it better! Again good track, but not with the attitude or cost.

Played the Padre course. Course was in good condition. Sand traps ate my ball on numerous holes on the front 9 - a bit frustrating but once I changed my strategy, I scored much better. Staff, starter, marshal were all friendly and sociable. Got paired up with a great guy from Texas and had an enjoyable round.
