Post some pictures if you take some. I live in that area and have been out there but not played it.

Las Sendas - 81 +9 7004 yards. $180

The course was almost immaculate, better conditions than Ak-chin. Every hole was beautiful, well worth the play. My only gripe was, the greens were rock solid and was impossible to hold an iron shot into the greens. If you hit a perfect flop shot it would still roll out 20 feet on a flat surface. So I had a ton of fringe or 15 feet par putts. You don't get many "picture worthy" holes but the whole scenery was great. Good hotdog too.

We-Ko-Pa Saguaro today. 6966 yards, 77 (+6)

Course was immaculate, amazing views every hole and really was top notch all around. The wind got up to 20 mph and 35 mph gusts the last 9 holes which made it a tough test. Based on this threads title, this could be one of the "one course to play." But still have Quintero & TPC champions to still play

I'm partial to We-Ko-Pa and Las Sendes (add Dinosaur Mountain) because they're near me but I think you'll love Quintero. It would be my "if you can only play one" course.

Glad to see some pics of We-Ko-Pa Saguaro. Heading over next week and playing it Wednesday morning.

Forecast is mid 30's mornings next week so you might have a delay.

Dang. Forecast changed a good bit. It's been saying highs in the 70's and lows in the low-40's.

My tee time isn't actually til 10:50, but I plan on getting out there about 9:30 to check everything out and warm up.

Ended up playing 36 at Quintero. 7190 yards, shot 80 (+8) & 77 (+5)

Can't really put into words what an amazing course this is. It really is the one course you have to play out here. Conditions weren't as nice as We-ko-pa, but the holes out here are great. Replay rate was $140. Funny enough, was randomly paired with another Aggie for the morning round. Breakfast burrito is big enough to feed a village and quite good.

Last round of the trip @ TPC Champions. 7115 yards, shot 74 (+3)

This is not the "one course to play" in phoenix. Conditions were fine, interesting layout but nothing crazy. Was around $180, would choose Las Sendas over this every time at the price point. Not sure how this is sloped at 135, should be way lower

After the round, went over to Stadium course and walked over to 16. Man what a spectacle that is even crazier in person. Can't even imagine what it's like when every seat is filled

Anyone that plays either TPC course Volanti at the Scottsdale Airport is kind of a cool place for eats and drinks. You can sit on the patio and see how the rich people come and go.
