 “There is no golf in the Grand Canyon…but the next best thing is Sedona Golf Resort.”,  Joe Passov – Travel Editor, Golf Magazine

For those not familiar with Sedona Golf Resort, this jaw-dropping facility is located in the heart of one of the most captivating regions of the Southwest. The club boasts a thrilling par – 71, 6,646 yard layout that is widely considered among the world’s most unforgettable golf experiences. Dramatic elevation changes that range from 3,960 feet to as much as 4,260 feet, is the highlight of the routing that also serves up elevated tees, slick undulating greens and numerous risk-reward approach shots. Winding around the famed red rocks of Sedona, each hole provides spectacular vistas and a unique adventure, in its own right. No wonder this high country favorite receives a continuous four-star rating from Golf Digest and is truly THE “must play” in ‘Red Rock Country’. Your round is truly one of Arizona Golf’s more memorable journeys as the course winds around Sedona’s crimson cliffs and through rugged high desert terrain that Sedona is known for around the globe. Recently, Golf Magazine’s travel editor, Joe Passov summed up the Sedona Golf experience in one sentence when he stated: “There is no golf in the Grand Canyon, but the next best thing is Sedona Golf Resort.” 

After golf, be sure and check out Sedona Golf Resort’s recently enhanced Juniper Bar & Grille that is a popular dining venue for golfers and non-golfers alike. You’ll be sure to enjoy sipping on a cool drink while taking in the awe-inspiring views of the Red Rocks from Juniper’s wide open picture windows. Or, better yet dine al fresco on Juniper’s expansive patio that captures more of the views of the rock outcroppings as well as sweeping views of the meandering golf course. 

We would be remiss in mentioning that Sedona Golf Resort is now managed by Scottsdale-based OB Sports Golf Management. Widely regarded as the leader in boutique upscale golf management, OB Sports is well known for providing memorable golf experiences, friendly service and values that are second to none. Speaking of value, don’t forget to call the friendly folks at Sedona Golf Resort and ask for the aforementioned “AZ Golfer Beat The Heat Special”. So, what are you waiting for? Beat The Heat and head up to the cool elevations of Sedona Golf Resort!
