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.

Underwhelming and Unaware Service

Zero effort by the golf staff. No scorecard, no water bottles in cooler, no water in the coolers after the 4th hold (all empty), told to pick our own cart and load our own bags on the cart. Called the shop to let them know the golf course was out of drinking water on an August afternoon and no one answered in the shop. Yet, there is a placard on the golf cart trying to sell memberships. Golf course in pretty good shape in August, slow play and no water so we quit after 9 holes and will not be back in all likelihood. Zero chance would consider membership at Las Sendas as is.

Greens great, fairways punched

We knew going in. Greens were good. Fairways were punched. Just move your ball or the dirt piece. Hot deal for 40$. Totally worth it

No Warning on Aeration

This is a premier golf course. We were taken by surprise by the universal fairway and close-to-green aeration throughout. Las Sendas could have included this situation in the course details. Try rolling over dirt clods! A few long holes were off-limits to carts for unknown reasons. We were staying well ahead of our trailing group but urged to hurry up to advancing group. At 107F the marshall didn't need to admonish us. We were 3 minutes ahead of normal time. The little snack shack was nice to have at the beginning/turn. People were very friendly.

Such a great course, but not for higher handicappers

Normal summer conditions but this course layout is VERY CHALLENGING. Very fun round. Higher handicap golfers will really struggle here

summer Las Sendes

This is a really fun course. Challenging but fair. Much diversity between holes. A lot of bare spots approaching greens (as expected in Phx summer) but greens themselves were in decent shape. A great deal for $33 at 8:30Am.

Bad course conditions

Course conditions were not great, would not recommend playing here right now. The greens didn't roll well and were bumpy with no warning ahead of time. Fairways were missing grass. Would have felt marginally better if I paid for half the price I was charged. Gps on the carts is a nice feature though.

Fantastic layout with subpar conditions

Course was a real challenge. Tight landing areas surround by bunkers. Lots of difficult choices off the tee. The course conditions were lacking. Lots of dirt patches on the course and the green. It’s clear they punched the greens recently, but the members were telling me these issues have persisted for years. I played on a hot deal for $60 and it was worth the price. The regular price $90 would be a tough ask considering the current conditions. I would play it again once the conditions improve.
