Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed Las Sendas Golf Club's course, opened in 1995 and among the toughest U.S. courses. Two Zagat surveys have ranked it among the top 50 U.S. golf courses.

Las Sendas Golf Club offers a desert course demanding top play as it takes golfers through the Usery Mountains, with a vista of Phoenix as the tradeoff for managing rough land close to 1,800 feet above the desert. Jones didn't create a course with whimsical decorations like railroad ties, and he didn't build targets. The golf course is for those who strategize, mapping the way from tee to green.

After a round at Las Sendas Golf Club, head to Las Sendas Grille, for the full bar, including wines from California, Australia and Europe, as well as four tap beers and domestic and imported bottles.

Beautiful Course that brings a good challenge

Really enjoyed the experience. Friendly staff, beautiful and challenging course just make the whole day a joy. One comment for you is that on the 16th hole the gentleman cutting the grass did not yield to us at the tee and we ended up having to wait 7-10 minutes to tee off. We finally just hit and he never stopped mowing.

Very Pleased

This was my first time playing Las Sendas and I was very impressed with the conditions. The staff was friendly and helpful. The all grass range was adequate with balls included in the greens fee. Off the tee the fairways are generous with some interesting risk reward shots to be had. The greens were well bunkered and rolled well. The course is lined with houses but it didn’t take away from the beauty of the place. Fairway and rough were lush which is different from a lot of other courses I’ve played here. Only issue our group had was with the grounds crew mowing and working around a number of greens. Other than that small gripe I will definitely come back to play again.

Great challenge

A challenging course with a variety of hole layouts. Lots of elevated greens that require precise approach shots.
Was lucky to play with a very friendly member. He was invaluable with his directions in pointing out shot lines, hazards and green breaks. If you don't know, the desert can be a nasty mistress!
Great conditions and beautiful views of the valley.

Found a Gem!

The course is awesome all around. The staff was very pleasant from the parking lot to the golf shop to the starter. Very friendly staff at the refreshment stands too! The course is in perfect condition and you can see that they are continuing to make it better every day by the amount of staff working on the course while we were playing. I didn't like the idea that we were hitting from the mats on the range, but I'm sure there is a good reason for that. I will definitely be back if I can find a rate somewhere in the range that I paid.

I found the experience to be great from the time I got out of the car. I was immediately approached by two fellas ready to take my clubs to the cart. I was directed through all my preround instructions and found it all to be very helpful. My group and I just had a wonderful time playing the course. We loved the challenging course and every hole was a different picture view of the valley. I would recommend to anyone that is looking for a top notch course and experience while playing golf in Arizona, to play Las Sendas Country Club.

Expensive, good condition, challenging greens

Course was in good condition, greens were very smooth and ran fast but were a bit too firm. There was rough on the course, happy that when I would miss a green I had rough to hit out of. Pace of play was fine, although we had to wait 5-10 minutes on a few holes - shouldn't be happening at 10 min tee time intervals.

The course is challenging - small landing areas on many greens and hard to make putts. Fairway and greenside bunkers on every hole, miss the landing area and you're looking for your ball in the desert rocks. Lots of bunnies on the course.

Hole 1 was fun with an opening drive to carry water. Hole 4 was fun with a big dogleg into a pin in the mountains. Hole 11 was an uphill par 3 into a mountain, with hole 12 being a dogleg alongside a mountain. 18 was a nice finishing hole with a landing area for the driver between two hazards. It was alright, thought there would be better views.

Everything was good, it's just expensive. Staff was very nice. No GPS in carts, no water bottles in cooler. At this price point I didn't expect them to cheap out on things like bottles of water that cost $0.13. Concessions are nice but it's $9 for a hot dog. As you play there's an ad hanging in the cart to join for a $70,000 initiation fee.
