Great Muni

Best Muni in the area for under $50.00. Good challenge for most. Greens were faster and smoother than I remember from previous rounds. Pace was good, no waiting. 4 carts for foursome.Enjoyed the day.

Great Challenge

Red Mountain CC requires great course management. Not a bombers course off every tee for the advanced long hitting golfer but perfect length for most. Many holes require smart ball placement to attack these small, well undulating greens. Play smart to be rewarded. Plenty of elevation change and a ton of mounding and vicious Dye bunkering. Many tee shots have blind and semi-blind landing areas that add to the difficulty. Perfect green speed for these tricky greens with often a ton of break. More break than you might think. The conditions were great for the end of spring and the transition to summer bermuda.
In spite of the scorecard length, there is a ton of challenge to be faced here everyday. I really enjoy this course.

Plays longer than the card

Las Sendas is a great course for those who are seeking a desert challenge with some excellent views of the valley. It is a course that requires a great deal of course management. Although, not too long, it plays longer due to a significant number of holes that really require keeping the driver in the bag. It is best to play to specific distances to avoid serious trouble. Often, a perfectly hit driver is not the play. Being overly aggressive can be costly. Play smart here and you will be rewarded.

Lots of humps and bumps that require good course management

There is a lot of deception to the eye on this course that can only come from experience. There are some very interesting rolls and bounces to the fairways that offer risk and reward. Greens have lots of pitch and make for some exciting putts. The course and greens were in good shape too.

Great for all levels!

This was my first round at The Legacy. The course has a lot to offer all playing levels. A good blend of short and long holes. A great feel of some elevation change that I enjoyed. Fantastic summer condition. I played the day before the greens would be arriated. I can see that they could be fast and deadly but not today. About 9 on the stimp.
Play a little slow at 5hrs. Lots of resort guests. There is plenty of trouble for even the better golfer to avoid. It is easy to say it feels wide open but the bunkers are well placed and deep, the fairways are rolling, leaving uneven lies. There are some really tough greens with a ton of slope.
I will be playing this course regularly, I liked it that much!

Give it a month

Played 6/9/2013. The greens are in poor condition as they transition from rye to bermuda, They are patchy and rough, providing too many bounces and bobbles. Although, the speed has been fairly maintained. If in a month the greens are not highly improved, there is something else going wrong that only fall weather and the return to rye will cure. Still a great value for the money at summer rates and the speed of play is great. The course tee to green is in usual fine condition.

Play smart, keep in the fairway

Not too long. Requires good course management. Bite off too much and the desert will bite back.

Bring some game if you play from the tips!

The course provides the greatest ratio of difficulty to the dollar over any course in the greater Phoenix area. I still love this course after not playing it in years. The loss of some of the trees is equaled by the stretched out back tees. It plays like it should in a modern day remake. The range is now awesome. The speed of the greens is generally just right on these rolling greens.
