| - I decided to take advantage of the low summer golf rates in the valley, and try Las Sendas Golf Club. Several golfers that I had played with on other courses suggested I try it. When I arrived, it was evident that there was construction of a new pro shop, and I had to wander around until I found the temporary pro shop in a trailer. Not being deterred by the immediate construction area, I was anticipating the round from everything I had heard about the course.
The golf course is great. They have a very nice driving range and practice area, and it is included in the price of the round. I was favorably impressed, as the range was in great shape, the yardage was provided to the flags, and the hitting area was level. Plus, because it wasn't busy, I could spend as much time on the range as I wanted, before I played.
The fairways are in excellent condition, and the greens were true. There are houses along the golf course, but they are set back enough that you do not have to worry about hitting them with errant shots. Several of the holes are fairly straightforward, but most are outstanding. Some I consider the most picturesque in the area, and because of the elevation, many holes have wonderful views of the valley.
Apparently they have new owners/management, and they are really working at making the club a first class experience. I was favorably impressed, and am adding this to my list of favorite courses in the valley.
