Ambiente Golf Club

Scottsdale, AZ · 0.0 mi away

The Ambiente course at Camelback Golf Club occupies part of the JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, set against the northern Sonoran Desert. Jason Straka of Hurdzan/Fry Environmental Golf Design rebuilt the club's former Indian Bend layout, raising and reshaping the flat washland to add elevation change and improve drainage; the course opened in November 2013. Ambiente plays to a par of 72 at about 7,225 yards from the back tees, with wide fairways, five sets of tees, and only about 90 acres of maintained turf surrounded by restored native desert vegetation. It operates as a resort course open to guests of the Camelback Inn and the public through advance tee-time booking.

The Padre Course at Camelback Golf Club in Scottsdale belongs to the JW Marriott Camelback Inn. Arthur Hills rebuilt it from the old resort course around 2000, with a new green, tee and bunkers on every hole and some holes rerouted. It does not look like typical desert golf. Large mature trees line a parkland layout that winds through a neighborhood, with strategic bunkering and square tees. The fairways are forgiving, but the approaches ask for accuracy. It is open to resort guests and the public, and shares the club with the Ambiente course.

McCormick Ranch Golf Club's Palm course is located in the heart of Scottsdale, Arizona, on land that was part of the McCormick family's cattle and Arabian horse ranch before it was developed in the early 1970s. Camelback and McDowell Mountain are visible across the property. Desmond Muirhead designed the Palm course, which opened in 1972 alongside a companion Pine course at the same facility. Water comes into play on about ten holes, and the layout has hosted a Canadian Tour event in the past. The eighteen-hole, par-72 course is open to public play year round, with a large putting green, two chipping areas and a driving range shared with the adjoining Pine course.
