Nestled 90 minutes north of Phoenix in Arizona's red rock country, Sedona Golf Resort is one of the world's most breathtaking golf experiences. Architect Gary Panks designed this 6,646-yard, par-71 course in 1987 with genuine respect for the natural landscape, creating a layout where elevation changes between 3,960 and 4,260 feet add strategic drama to every hole. The course winds through iconic red rock formations, with signature holes like the par-3 10th—voted Arizona's best par 3 by The Arizona Republic in 1999—offering unforgettable photo opportunities against Cathedral Rock's soaring backdrop.
What makes this course truly special for golf groups is the perfect balance of challenge and playability. The course isn't brutally long, which means your entire group can finish 18 holes in reasonable time, yet the strategic elevation, well-guarded greens, and tricky approaches demand respect from every handicap level. The unique red-colored bunkers blend seamlessly with Sedona's desert palette, and water hazards on select holes add visual drama without overwhelming the landscape.
The entire property celebrates group golf with flexible stay-and-play partnerships, on-site dining with red rock views, and excellent practice facilities. After your round, the clubhouse patio becomes your gathering spot—a place where golfers naturally congregate over drinks and stories, watching golden light paint those legendary rocks. This is destination golf at its finest: a course that challenges you, a setting that inspires you, and a place your group will remember forever.
