 Sixteen years ago, The Las Sendas Golf Club, a 5-Star golf club situated
in the scenic foothills of east Mesa, made a sparkling debut on the
Arizona golf landscape. Late last year, the “new” Las Sendas was
officially reborn.
New is the operative word at Las Sendas. There are new facilities, new
membership opportunities and a savvy, new ownership group that is poised
to make Las
Sendas Golf Club one of the Southwest’s finest golf facilities.
Las
Sendas is unique compared to most of its desert golf brethren. Designed
by Robert Trent Jones, Jr. (his initial solo design in the Valley of
the Sun) to coexist with the natural splendor of its East Valley
location, Las Sendas is, in Jones’ own words, “true” desert golf. Much
less dirt and rock were moved in this layout than many other area
courses of the same era, creating an experience that the renowned
designer describes as “a nature walk through the desert, attracting you
with beauty and challenging you with shot options.”
