Played Friday just before 7:00 am, walking for $13 with LA City Senior Card. Can't beat the price for nine holes. Seeing fivesomes go out was a little jarring but we played in less than two hours so no complaints with POP.

The course is in pretty good shape. Decent coverage in the fairways and nice coverage in general in the rough. The rough was not very long but it was still a factor. The tees were generally good although the ball was above my feet on a couple of them. The greens were nice. Medium speed and rolling true.

My friends play the course a couple of days a week. I would not make a regular habit of it but the price is right, it's close, and we were done by 9:00. I will likely be out there again this summer.

Played in the Golf Moose/Vivid outing on June 23, playing the blue tees and starting on the 18th hole. Very nice staff at the club from the snack area and pro shop to the courteous grounds crew. It was a well oiled event. Pace of play was slow but not unexpected.

It has been at least 15 years since I last played the course. The greens were much trickier than I remembered. For example, on 18 the pin was in the back of a very long green in a little area sloping generally from front to back. There were several holes with similar positions requiring us to chip over a hump and control the speed to try to stay on the green. On another, the pin was back left and one player went long right. Twice he chipped up about twenty yards and the ball rolled back to his feet. It was a really interesting green. The landing areas were generous but you had to be precise on approach shots. It was a fun layout.

The course is in great shape. It has Bermuda fairways and rough. The Bermuda was as nice as I have seen in Southern California. There are wood chip areas beyond the rough which I found on occasion. The fairways were firm with nice run out. The Bermuda gave a good hitting surface. The rough was thick and not too high but my ball sat up more often than not when I was in it. I liked the sand in the bunkers. Some of the green side bunkers had tall lips which I gratefully avoided. The greens were fast with some subtle breaks.

The course is highly recommended. I can't wait to try it again.

Played here a couple of times in the last week or so, most recently on Monday, June 16. Played early because of the heat. There were people going out when I finished so it was getting some business. Service was good. No starter on the 16th but the guy in the pro shop who was hustling to keeping things going including changing the match ups to smooth out the start. $69 including cart and range.

The course is obviously suffering from the heat (108 to 112 the entire time I was there). There were some bare spots in the fairways and on the greens. That said, I had a good surface to hit from generally and the greens rolled pretty good. They were a little slower on the 16th, medium speed, most likely from the watering they were doing as we played. No rough to speak of, most of the bunkers had enough but not abundant sand, and the tee boxes were okay.

Just a fun course to play. I went back the 16th because most of the courses I looked at on the east side of Phoenix had terrible summer reviews, including slow greens. Las Sendas was no perfect but it was better than the courses I was reading about. I also came back because I really like the layout. A little course knowledge helped also.

I'll come back next time I play in the area because I like the course. Hopefully, they get some relief from the extreme heat and the aeration of the greens helps.

Played a rare afternoon round, starting after 1:30 pm on Tuesday, walking the whites with my grandson and a twosome. I probably should have checked the weather report, it was pouring rain as we were going up the 9th hole and many golfers were sheltering at the clubhouse when we passed through. We heard thunder starting on the 10th hole and we ended up walking off after the 13th hole when we saw a relatively close lightening bolt. Played the front nine in about 2:15; my group was a shot behind so it could have been a little faster.

The greens are a mixed bag right now. The are running medium at best and a few have a fungus problem with #2 looking the worst. They were a challenge because they were not breaking as much as usual and some downhill putts were left short, not usually a problem here! The rest of the course is okay. It definitely could use the rain as it is generally dry. I had some lousy lies off the fairway even considering the rough is cut down. I had a few bare lies in the fairway also.

I have seen the course better but it is still the best deal in town, especially with a Senior Card.

Played last Saturday at 6:50 am. The parking lot was crowded when I got there at 6:15. The course moved along okay, with a 4:15 POP. The snack shack was not open when we passed it between the 11th and 12th holes but I saw that it was open when we were on the 17th tee. Opening at 10:00 or later, there were no services available, other than the range, for the early morning golfers. Glad I brought my own coffee.

The course was playing firm and fast. The fairways were pretty tight and the rough was generally cut down. It was pretty dry also with some bare spots. The highlight was the greens. They were fast and true. Really nice right now. The best I have seen them here in a while. The sand traps have been pretty bad lately, with little sand. I was in one/two when I went for the green on my second shot on 18. The trap was filled with thick beach sand. I popped it out to the next bunker, where it plugged on my 10' shot. I was able to get up and down for par but the sand made it really tough. I am not a fan of beach sand but it is better than no sand! Glad to see they are working on improvements there.

Overall, a beautiful morning on a muni court in pretty good shape. About as good as it can get while conserving water as they obviously are.

Played Saturday, May 17, in mid-morning. They were running about 10 minutes behind when I teed off so hot a huge wait. It has been quite a while since I last played here - at that time one had to drive to the practice center which is next door but has its entrance off Michelson. This time I was allowed to take my cart over there pre-round. Good service overall. I rode at a cost of $103. I played from the blue tees with the threesome I was paired with. It was pretty short with quite a few short par 4s and no par 3 over 167.

The course conditions exceeded my expectations. The course is in good shape over all, much better than the last time I played it. Some bare spots on the edges, especially adjacent holes 1, 17 and 18. Overall, though, the fairways were reasonably lush as was the rough. I was in a couple of bunkers and they had good sand. The tee boxes were generally good although a few were chewed up or with bare spots.

The greens were the highlight. I did not recall how undulating they are. Very interesting and fun. The pin positions were generally fair but it could be set up tough. They were rolling nicely at a decently fast speed.

Overall, a pricey but fun round. Recommended although look for a deal if you can get one.

Played Thursday, 5/15, in midmorning. Good service from the course, starter at the first tee keeping groups moving, marshals around the course, coffee shop open and doing a decent business. Started about 10 minutes after our tee time and played in around 4.5 hours, not bad for this course at that time of day.

The course is dry, looking more pronounced on the back nine. Fairways and greens were good but the rough is not gettin much water. On #15, the dry areas extended into the fairway. I was left of the fairway and got great distance because there was nothing to stop the ball. On #16, I punched out of the trees and was lucky I rolled into the fairway bunker about 115 yards out, or I would have rolled down the drop off to the fence. The fairway was running much faster than I expected. The greens were excellent with decent speed.

Picture perfect day although the Santa Ana winds had the marine layer blocking views of Catalina Island. Recommended.

Played before 7:00 am on Sunday, Mother's Day. Course was surprisingly crowded when we finished in almost exactly 4 hours. I thought Mother's Day was supposed to be the lightest of the year??

Short add to my review last week. They fixed the greens. Quickest turnaround I have ever seen. No evidence of any issue. The greens look great. They are running a little faster than medium speed, so not as fast as usual, but they are much better than last week. They were putting more water on the course likely because of the unseasonable heat.

Played Thursday, May 8, at about 8:45 am on a beautiful spring day with temperature in the 70s. Great service by the pro shop in getting me out, starting on the back nine. We ate lunch the day before on the patio outside the restaurant, nice people and good service. The food was good also. Played in about 3.5 hours, starting out as a solo rider, playing the black tees, played through a single and joining another single on #13 (our fourth hole) through 18, finally playing the front nine alone behind a twosome following a couple of foursomes. Everyone was moving along though.

The course is in excellent shape. There were some thin areas in some fairways and on the tees but overall the course was lush. Generally good surface in the fairways. The rough was about 3/4 a ball height. The tees did have some mounding but I could find flat areas. The bunkers were a mixed bag with little sand in two of the three I was in.

The greens were great. Fairly fast, looking really nice, and rolling true. I was hurt a couple of times by more break than I read. They were the highlight of the course.

The course is playing well if you are in the area. Highly recommended.

Played early today, 6:40 am, on a cloudy, cool morning. Played in 3:50 on a day in which it looked like many golfers did not show up possibly worried about more rain.

Conditions were generally the same as last time. Rough was a little up and the fairways were in good shape. The greens had a fungus problem throughout the course. Light colored circles all over the greens. They ran much slower than they looked and were quite bumpy. Hopefully the course can get the problem under control. Quickly would be nice considering I am playing here again next week.

Played today in the NCGA Senior Series tourney with a 10:00 am shotgun. Very well run, played with a 4:05 POP. Nice banquet facility and affable bar staff. A couple of putting greens and short game area, and the driving range was convenient to the clubhouse.

The course conditions were great. Some areas had tighter lies and there were a couple of places on the edges with poor drainage but otherwise consistently really nice conditions. Very nice firm fairways. Generally lush rough that definitely affected shots. I thought I had a plugged lie at one point but it was just a deep area of rough. Some sloped tees. The sand was difficult. It felt crusted but the club dug deep. Three of us in my group left shots in the bunker after first attempts. I have not seen it’s like.

The greens were great. I am sure they can get them faster but they had nice speed. I really enjoyed them. The front nine was more open but the greens were tougher. I thought they had a lot more break than the ones on the back nine.

I really enjoyed the course and can’t wait to play it again.

Played in the Golf Moose/Vivid Golf event on Monday, April 21, riding with Gary, Mark and Kyle. Perfect day and a great foursome. Really nice facilities and a well organized event. The snack bar at the clubhouse was open for us as was the pro shop. I wandered through the bar and dining room looking how to get to the course and did not see any other activity (nice social areas though).

I liked the course a lot. The greens were very tough. Even the greens that did not have big slopes had subtle breaks that tested reading ability. There were some with great challenges or entertainment value depending on whether you were the one that had to make that downhill putt or hit the short-sided chip. Quite quick. The verticut was evident but I did not see any effect on putts. They were also fairly firm even with the work on them.

I liked the fairways of dormant Bermuda. They are similar to Skylinks when it opened up after its remodel. Fairly tight but the still a good hitting surface. They had a nice runout also although you had to be careful not to run into trouble in spots. The rough was cut down around the landing areas in most spots and thicker around greens or off to the side. I had trouble with the beach sand in the bunkers but they were in good shape. The fairway bunkers had firmer surfaces in the ones I was in.

The highlight for me was the layout. A lot of interesting holes. Good par 3s and varying length on the par fives. The back nine was fun especially the last three holes. The view from the 16th tee was spectacular. Great tough green on the 18th.

I would jump at the chance to play here again.
