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.

TERRIBLE place

One of the worst run businesses I have had the misfortune to use. First, no choice but to use "Golf Now.com" to make the tee time. When I get to the course, I am charged again. ( It is not unusual for me for a course to take a credit card to hold the time and then charge at the course.) The guy at the counter just charged me without asking. I was told the starter would need to see my receipt.

Next, I had a 7:50am tee time. I was joining three others as a single. The young man at the bag drop told me the others had not checked in yet. I hit some balls, putted, chipped and went back to the bag drop. I was told one guy had not yet checked in. At 7:54 I asked if they were running behind as I had not been called to the tee. He said no, so I drove to the first tee. The starter told me that the foursome had already teed off! He also said there was a fifth (actually SIXTH) person he had to put in a group after them. I went back to the clubhouse/main counter.

The starter was called and is seems the "foursome" had only paid for TWO of the four tee times. He had allowed them to go off without paying! I had paid TWICE and didn't get called to the tee. The guy in charge told me I could go off at a different time...about ONE HOUR later then my original time. I said no and I wanted a refund. Then...

...he said they had voided my charge as my payment was with GolfNow. I asked for the receipt for the void and was told he had "thrown it away". the finally found it in the trash. I asked how to get a refund from GolfNow. I was informed that it was MY responsibility to call them. THAT was another story! Twenty-five minutes on the phone with a person I could not understand to get the money back.

I was not offered any compensation for THEIR mistake to make up for me coming there, paying twice, being pushed aside for people that did not even pay! NOTHING. Just, "We're sorry."

What a joke this place is. No respect for a customer...I LOCAL customer. I will NEVER go there again and will do what I can to make sure no one I know does either.

Great value

The course is challenging especially from the tips.

There are a few spots that are being worked on the fairway, but overall condition is good.

Great value especially hot deals.

Challenging

Las Sendas is nearing the end of the summer grass season and was a little rough around the edges. We enjoyed the variety of holes and shot making requirements, but were disappointed with the lack of signage on the course regarding tee boxes or yardage. Our cart gps didn’t work, which normally wouldn’t be an issue but with the number of blind shots and fairways running out on doglegs, we were challenged to hit to appropriate areas. We lost a few balls we were sure would be in fairways. Greens and fairways were decent, traps were a little thin on sand, tee boxes were pretty beat up.

Challenging and elevation changes. Not flat.

I keep returning. Picture from 18th teeing ground tells it all. Enjoy the play, enjoy the vistas.

Course was in decent shape, my only complaint would be the pace of play. The two groups in front of us were pretty slow. The ranger spoke them but the pace didn't change. I will be back.

Nice course

Golfed here on labor day and the course is in great shape for summer. Paid 51 bucks which is decent for 18 holes. Was greeted promptly, took my bags and put them on the cart for me. Pace of play was good. No waiting for other golfers. Not sure why people on here are complaining about course conditions. This course is in great shape, especially for summer. Definitely recommend.

Few things to know.

Well this is a semi private course and there was no sand in the bunkers, uneven tee boxes and lots of brown/ dirt spots? I was laughing at the fact there was a 70k fee to be a member, when every troon course in the valley is twice as nice and taken care of as opposed to this one. I guess the members here have no concept of money. This is maybe a 75$ course in prime time but does not even crack a top 50 in AZ in my book.

Tough Golf Course

I liked the layout of Las Sendas. It is a challenging course. It would be easier the next time you play. A few blind shots or doglegs that you can drive your ball through the fairway. Fun, but would be more enjoyable if I knew the course better.

Solid AZ Summer Round

Overall had a great time out for an early Saturday summer round. Pace of play was great. Course was in pretty good shape for middle of August in AZ summer. Some areas in fairways little dry/dead, but not all that impactful. Greens & bunkers were great. Will be back in a few months to see this course at its’ peak condition ⛳️

Good Course

Enjoyed this course. It had a lot of burned areas and was in decent shape but not in as good a shape as other Scottsdale courses we played. Layout is nice with some good elevation changes and fun holes. Not one of my top 10 courses in Phoenix but a fun layout.

Must play!

Booked this course at random not knowing anything about it . Turned out to be one of my favorite courses in the area. Beautiful views, interesting holes, and some tricky greens. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back to play again.

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.
