We have a trip out west planned for early April and have 4 courses lined up:

Club West Golf Club
Sanctuary Golf Course
Sunridge Canyon Golf Club
Las Sendas Golf Club

Anybody here play these? Are they good for the $$? I'm kind of disappointed we didn't get a TPC on there, but that's for next time.

Any advice on night spots (for the 40+ crowd) or things to do is appreciated as well.
Also, what kind of weather to expect April 7-11th?

Thanks in advance!
I've spent most of my life golfing - the rest I've just wasted.

In my bag todayâ¦.

Have played them all except Club West, all good tracts, but then again there's a ton of courses in Phoenix Scottsdale. Have you thought of We Ko Pa or Talking Stick??

Club West Golf Club - Fun course, make sure you pay attention to where the mountain is. The grade effects the break of the greens.
Sanctuary Golf Course - Good course, it has some crazy holes and blind shots so some local knowledge would be helpful. It is very tight and don't let the yardage fool you.
Sunridge Canyon Golf Club - I have never played there but if desert target golf is your thing then there you go. It is normally in very good condition and is a top course to play.
Las Sendas Golf Club - Very difficult golf course. Bentgrass greens. It is a RTJ Jr. course and is a good one to play if you are looking to challenge yourself.

Night life? Plenty of bars nightclubs and good restaurants in Scottsdale. Since you are coming in April you can go to a baseball game.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.

      Day 565 - 2026-04-19 Wanted to get home to do some spring cleaning type stuff, so I practiced for about seven or eight minutes and got my butt home. Just backswing stuff, mostly, with freezers and a little downswing feel. Liking the new big mirror I have.
