After over 40 years of operation, Sedona’s original golf course, The Oakcreek Country Club, remains one of the signature golf experiences in all of Arizona. Oakcreek Country Club has become something rare in the world of leisure golf–a course that combines breathtaking scenery, outstanding course conditions, a truly enjoyable and challenging layout, and affordable membership and daily play rates. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. and Robert Trent Jones, Jr., the golf course is routed through mature pine trees that cast shade during the warmer months of the year. The traditional layout showcases sweeping doglegs, generous fairways, challenging greenside bunker complexes, and raised bentgrass greens. The Jones Design team carved a unique gem of a golf course through the high desert and stunning red rocks. During the golfer’s day, views of Sedona’s picturesque red rock formations stand in striking contrast to the lush green of the golf course, which is meticulously kept throughout the year.
The challenge-level of Oakcreek Country Club is high, but the course is truly player-friendly. Designed around Robert Trent Jones’ concept that “every hole should be a hard par, and an easy bogey”, the course calls for precise tee shots, a sharp short game and a steady putter, but allows some room for error for mid-to-high handicap players. The course also plays host to two of the biggest tournaments in Northern Arizona. The Sedona Open, a professional tournament hosting up-and-coming local professionals and former PGA and Champions Tour players, is held in the summer. The Sedona Amateur, hosting non-professional golfers of all handicaps and skill levels, is held in the fall.
Amenities on site include a full-service pro-shop, a large practice area, dining and banquet facilities, and a professional staff ready to cater to their customers, which includes public play, members, tournaments, outings, and weddings. The club also hosts the Sedona School of Golf, offering two-, three-, and five-day golf schools designed around each student’s personal needs. Membership plans at The Oakcreek Country Club are extremely affordable, and members often boast about being part of one of the best golfing deals in Arizona. So if you’re looking for a course to play the next time you visit Sedona, or you’re looking for beautiful yet affordable country club to join, make plans to come and be a part of Sedona’s finest golf experience!
