Overseeding doesn’t mean it’s all over at Las Sendas
It’s time again for our annual overseed program, so the golf course will be closed from Monday, Sept. 25, through Friday, Oct. 13, to allow the work to be done.
That doesn’t mean that it’s all over for fun and activities at Las Sendas. Everything else goes on as usual.
The Grille and The Patio will still be open every day, serving delicious lunches and dinners, as well as appetizers and our Happy Hour. And there’s always a refreshing libation and plenty of TV sports to entertain.
Evenings will be a little cooler, too, so dining on The Patio will be at its best, and there likely will be a little less competition for a sunset-view Patio table until our winter residents and visitors return.
The Golf Shop will also be open daily from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m., with plenty of special deals still available, like the Buy One, Get One specials.
And, of course, weddings, parties and events will still be happening at The Vistas Pavilion. So, book your space now.
SIGN UP NOW FOR 2017/2018 JUNIOR GOLF STICKS PROGRAM
Junior Golf Sticks Program begins Tuesday, Nov. 7. Students from ages 5 to 15 are invited to join, and are grouped according to age, gender and skills level. There are a total of 20 Tuesday classes, from 4 to 5:30 p.m., starting as low as $20 per class. Flexible sign up lets you join in any time and sign up for as many Tuesdays as you like.
Organized by the Mike Malaska Golf Academy at Las Sendas, the Junior Golf Sticks Program offers a developmental approach to the game. Lessons are stair-stepped to match the skill levels as the junior golfer becomes more experienced.
The goals of our junior golf programs are to not only develop the fundamental skills of the golf swing, but to also teach each player the characteristics that will make them champions in life, and most importantly, create a love for the game.
By rotating through 20-minute fun learning/game stations, golf skills are developed. Learn fundamentals of the game, including full swing, short game, putting, rules of the game and on-course play with our team, which includes PGA and LPGA professionals.
Register now. Registration forms are available in the Las Sendas Golf Shop or by contacting Tracy Berman at tberman@lassendas.com. You can also call her cell at (602) 920-8208.
THE VISTAS PAVILION
The Venue with the View—Premier Wedding and Reception Venue
Make your dreams reality when you plan a unique and elegant wedding at the new Vistas Wedding Pavilion. With a stunning mountainside location and backdrop, The Vistas is nestled in among desert flora, fountains and green gardens. The Vistas was constructed with an oversized wraparound deck, offering breathtaking views of the Valley sunsets and city lights. The warmth and charm of the Tuscan design adds inspiration and creates an inviting venue for ceremony and reception guests.
We developed a 6,000-square-foot banquet kitchen facility, and have hired the highest quality culinary staff from throughout the Valley. We have an outstanding track record for delivery of quality cuisine from our onsite restaurants, and our goal is to bring this experience and expertise to our menu and services.
The Vistas event planning staff has prepared an exquisite ceremony package, which includes four carefully designed locations, all capturing the magnificence of the Valley sunsets. In addition to the panoramic views, and lush lawn and garden areas, our ceremony package includes white garden chairs, an expansive choice of table linens, champagne and a fruit platter in the luxurious bridal changing room, as well as registration and unity tables.
Optional services include use of our two privately owned limousines, valet services and special golf packages. Consider The Patio at Las Sendas and Bogey’s private dining room at Las Sendas for your rehearsal dinner to round out your complete wedding experience. We look forward to serving you and making your special day a dream come true.
