Sub par conditions

The links is the more interesting of the two layouts but unfortunately many greens were in rough condition and the tee boxes were for the most part dirt. Some fun holes to play but a few namely par 3s that are just fitted in. Also if your playing the back tees and can’t shape your driver either way some may not appreciate trees blocking their preferred ball flight.

Then and now

Ambiente has always been a favorite of mine so was somewhat disappointed in the current conditions. Greens were nowhere close to good. Several had large dead spots on them and most had random patches of poa. All in all not what you’d expect from a premium priced course. That said still had a great time and always love the feel, vibe and layout of Ambiente.

good practice course

pretty traditional layout with wide open fairways made for easy play. Greens had a lot of unfixed ball marks but we were following a charity tourney... Connor at the backshop was top notch. Not the cursory wipe of the clubs at most courses....

4 groups on a par 3

Tee time was 12:30 made it 16 holes before the curtain closed. Played here over 40 times and never encountered this pace of play. The ranger just shrugged his shoulders.

worst greens I've played on in the valley

After playing over 100 courses in the PHX area, Founders set the record for worst greens I've seen. Putts literally rolled like a whiffle ball to the cups... the poa is so bad I've played many temporary greens that putt truer. Such a shame as every other aspect of the course is fantastic. You definitely should not be charging full rates until you either fix the issue or more likely replace all of your greens. After driving an hour to Buckeye to play was pretty disappointed. Your practice greens are great so not sure what took place on the course but I like to play a real course ie tee to green. If you just enjoy swinging and don't care about score or putting it would be worth playing....

rough around the edges but still fun to play

not all putts will roll true and once off the fairways anything goes in terms of lies. other than that I do like the layout and how it's situated... perhaps if I hit a few fairways yesterday i might have rated it as high as 4

always fun

would have given 5 stars if not for the greenside bunkers... next time I'll bring along my skateboard and ride em... hard as concrete!!
not sure why some comments mentioned lumpy greens - they rolled true and fortunately not too quick for those above the pins

ps. maybe ask foothills for some extra sand they have an over abundance in theirs

lush and very playable

Love this course. Lush fairways and overall setting is great. The pace was a little slow almost 5 hrs but other than that fun to play. Very wide fairways so quite scoreable

firm greens - fun layout

greens were running at 12 which was nice. What wasn't as nice was trying to hold the greens on approach shots. Even spinning 58 degree wedges from 100 yds were bouncing long on some greens. With gusting winds it proved a fun challenge.

70% there...

The greens were as good as I've seen them at RMR yesterday. It's rough around the edges so you're going to have some lies you didn't bargain on... That said it's a Dye layout and a shotmaker's course, so if you like a little challenge tee it up at the back and enjoy!

first class Starter

I had a late afternnon tee time and an hour and a half drive following the round back home.... The starter put me out on the back nine first and once I skipped the foursome playing the 10th I was off to the races. Finished in 2 hours. Much appreciated! conditions were great if not challenging... the greens had firmed up in the high winds but the course tee to greens is in fine shape. Played off the back tees and Poston is no push over.

5 plus hrs following 5somes

I’ve played Las Sendas 40 plus times. Love the layout! However not keen on following back to back slow 5 somes. The group I was with complained to the pro shop but it fell on deaf ears. Wasn’t able to finish in light despite a 12:40 time. The course when in prime condition can stacks up withTroon North Boulders Greyhawk etc but they need to step up their client relations if they want to continue pricing at a premium

back to back 5 somes???

I've played Las Sendas close to 40 times. It's a great layout and love the challenge and variety of shots required.... What didn't I like? following back to back 5 some's at a 12:40 start. Had to finish in low light and waited on virtually every shot all 18 holes. Something I'd expect at a B course maybe but not when you're paying premium green fees. Las Sendas as a course stacks up well against Troon, Boulders, Greyhawk in terms of the golf. They need to up the ante in customer service in my opinion. Others in my group complained about pace and the fact that the 5some was extremely "deliberate" in their pace but it fell on deaf ears.
