Few courses in the Valley offer such spectacular vistas and subsequent shot-making as Las Sendas. For those who survive the first three holes in even par, there is hope. But even for those who go down early, their spirits are revived by the beauty surrounding them on each hole. Las Sendas is not a course contrived with artifice, decor, or railroad ties, nor is it a target course. It is a strategic course, so learn the preferred route from tee to green. It is a Wild West course, and you'd better bring your six-guns, because you're going to have to shoot it out here. With one of the higher slope ratings in Arizona - blind tee shots, hazards exactly where you don't want them to be, and well-guarded greens slicker than the backyard Slip'n'Slide are a pretty good summary of what to expect. Over-ambitiously choose the wrong tee box and the results won't be pretty.

This course requires you to think your way around to play well. Just hitting the ball will not be enough. You must favor the correct sides of the fairways to obtain the best angles to the greens. Some holes require a little governor, or lay-up, so as not to leave you with an impossible view to the greens. Generally, the greens are subtle. But, be very precise when you read the break to avoid slipping past the hole, as the land mostly falls toward the southwest and the grass grows toward the setting sun. Las Sendas is generally considered one of the Arizona's best courses in everybody's books, newspapers, websites, and magazines. The challenge and scenery alone make it a must-play for any Arizona golf vacation.
