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.

Great Course Great Views

This is an amazing course in great shape and beautiful views. Pace of play was spot on. The course is challenging with par 5s and the 3s are not easy! Learned to not retrieve balls from bushes lest you get scraped up! I will return to this course. It is a bit of a drive to get there, but worth it. Beware of fast greens and challenging putts.

Getting worse over the years

This place is going down hill quick. Would be five stars but when I’m the 3rd tee time out and we’re held up by a group of old men from California and the marshals just chit chat with them and don’t force them to keep up with the group ahead it turns into chaos. Who lets one group of guys ruin the pace of play for the rest of the day? Also, $160 to play a course in which it took almost 20 minutes per hole….

Beautiful Course, hard greens

This course is beautiful and an absolute pleasure to play. My only criticism would be that the greens were very hard. It was difficult to keep wedge shots (with good height) on the green. Aiming for the center of the greens typically resulted in the ball bouncing a couple of times and rolling to the fringe or off back side. Playing everything well short of the pin seemed to be the best approach. With the rest of the course being so pristine, it's easy to think the greens would be a touch softer.

That said, I still rate it 5 stars and would happily play it repeatedly. Highly recommend...just play to the font of the green.

Course is beautiful, well kept, scenic and difficult. Plays much longer than stated. Greens are difficult and speed was not consistent. Had difficulty with distance on blind shots determining distance to fairways.

Staff was great in all respects.
