Stay away for now!

Usually one of my favorites, the course is undergoing significant maintenance. Front side greens just aerated and many tee boxes are being redone. It’s not worth playing for the next couple of months, but it’ll be back in my rotation when they complete their work.

Mediocre

Conditions are already turning from lack of attention. Burnt our fairways, etc. The course is mediocre at best. There’s lots of choices in the Valley. No need to have this one on your must play list.

Added to My List

This course offers a near perfect balance of playability and challenge. The conditions were still tremendous. I played in high winds and found the generous fairways welcoming. It’s a course you should be able to score well on and not go through a couple sleeves of balls. .

First Impression

This was my first time playing the course and I went primarily because of the GolfNow rate. When resort courses are still charging $250.00 a round, grabbing a $50.00 greens fee motivated me to dust off the clubs and make the drive out. The course proved a perfect venue to work on my game. Generous fairways, great conditions and some challenging greens. The staff was very welcoming. I'll definitely keep it in my prime season rotation.

Tremendous Condition

Great facility and the course is in great shape. Only complaint; for some reason they're removed the coolers so I'd suggest bringing you own with lots of ice.

I'll be back

I've lived in Phoenix for over a decade and this was my first chance to play the Champions course. it was 115 degrees today so the course was wide open. Loved the layout and the staff were as expected; professionals!

Please Save Yourself from a Horrible Round

The course was horrific. Virtually no grass in the fairways except for gnarly clumps of crab grass. All of the water is gone from the ponds. If you're looking to quit golf, go waste some money here then tell yourself that all golf courses are the same, thrown the clubs in the bottom of a dried out pond bed and walk away.

Close it Down

I’ll be kind. It’s horrific! They appear to be converting the course into a hard-packed dirt challenge. There are maybe 1000 blades of grass per hole that appear to be Bermuda. There is abundant crab grass, usually well positioned around the fringe of the green between your ball and the cup.

They really do need to shut it down!

Tried it Once Mote

Played here about four years ago and I said I’d never waste my money again. Conditions far inferior to other courses in the area. I don’t like the layout. Pay a few bucks more and play We-Ko-Pa, Wildfire or Kierland.

First Time Not Last Time

The course was very nice and very playable. I’m playing at a 14 handicap right now, so I selected the Silver tees (6300 yards). Two sets of tees behind stretch it to 7000 for those so gifted. The greens were like carpets the fairways in great condition.

On the Rotation

Always a contender for one of the best managed and maintained this course remains on my rotation. The par 70, just over 6000 yards from the back won’t be the longest you’ll play but it’s one you should play.

Play it at least once!

I've been in the valley for about a decade and I finally made it out to Las Sendas. I heard it was a difficult course and it lived up to it's reputation. The wind didn't help but still, I had a great day. I played with three members and they were very accommodating. The course was in tremendous shape. I live in Anthem so I won't be able to make it a regular venue but I'm glad I finally got out to it. You should too!

Gotta Love Summer Golf in Phoenix

You can't beat the deals on summer golf in Phoenix. When you get a day in the low 100's you better run to the course. The resort courses are typically some of the best maintained and The Faldo Course at the JW Marriott at Desert Ridge fit the bill perfectly.

Nice Change of Pace

The archetects use of the abundant white rock makes for a visually stimulating round and the layout is interesting as well. The fairways were in excellent condition. The greens were equally lush but slower than most in the Valley due to its newness. Still they rolled pretty true.

No clubhouse yet so they still need time to develop the ammenities.

Premium

Compared to other facilities in the area you'll pay a premium to play this course, but I find that the conditions are premium as well so it warrants it.

Unprofessional.

Management needs a lesson or two in customer relations and professional conduct. Stand within earshot of their radios and you just may hear them lambasting their guests.

With a couple hundred courses in the area you could probably find a more pleasant facility.

Aerated but excellent.

I went for a summer afternoon tee time just five days after they aerated their greens. The greens rolled great for having just gone thru the process so when their fully in it'll be amazing.

The course was in fantastic shape. Very playable with a few holes that you've really gotta grind through.
