Sedona Golf Resort overview
Location: Sedona, Arizona | Style: Desert | Designer: Gary Panks | Founded: 1988
Set among the breathtaking red-rock landscapes of northern Arizona, Sedona Golf Resort delivers one of the most visually captivating rounds in the American Southwest. This par 71 18-hole layout stretches to 6,646 yards.
The course winds gracefully through high-desert terrain, framed by juniper trees and sandstone cliffs, with elevation changes that range from 3,960 to 4,260 feet. Every hole feels sculpted by nature itself, offering both beauty and strategic intrigue. While the setting may steal your focus, the layout rewards thoughtful shot-making, with doglegs, raised greens, and bunkering that test every club in the bag. Sedona Golf Resort is consistently rated among Arizona’s best public courses - an essential stop on any Sedona golf trip.
Signature Holes
Hole 10 - Par 3: The signature 10th hole epitomizes the Sedona experience. Teeing off from an elevated perch, players face a breathtaking view of Cathedral Rock beyond the green. Club selection is crucial, as the hole plays downhill and is often affected by swirling desert winds. Both beautiful and challenging, it’s a shot you’ll remember long after your round.
