OAKCREEK GOLF COURSE
Oakcreek Country Club designed by the famous father and son team of Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Robert Trent Jones Jr. can truly be described as a work of art. The par 72, 18-hole championship golf course is nestled among the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona with views beyond compare and the golf course design a masterpiece.
The golf course is a traditional layout similar to those that you may find in the midwestern United States. In the usual Trent Jones manner, the fairways are classic tree lined doglegs with fairway bunkers strategically placed in the landing areas, and the greens are all slightly elevated and surrounded with large swirling greenside bunkers. The course is "player friendly", allowing plently of room for error but always with an opportunity to recover and get errant shots back into play.
The golf course consists of 145 acres, including three lakes. Water comes into play twice on the front nine between the #1 and #9 holes. On the back nine the water comes into play on holes #13 and #16 and occasionally, on hole #15. Recent renovations to the golf course include brand new concrete cart paths and all the greenside bunkers rebuilt under the watchful eyes of the Robert Trent Jones Jr. design firm.

Course highlights:
* Hole #4, 155 yard, par 3 - The "Signature" hole. From
an elevated tee, your tee shot sails towards the red rocks with
the hope of landing on the elevated green which is guarded by
two large greenside bunkers and makes this hole no pushover.
* Hole #5, 375 yard, par 4 - A classic dogleg left with a large
bunker positioned in the left side of the fairway to protect the
hole from being shortened by the long hitters. The approach shot
is tricky because it plays to an elevated green surrounded by
bunkers on the left, right and back of the green.
* Hole #6, 375 yard par 4 - The most underrated hole at Oakcreek
Country Club. This hole plays slightly uphill to a fairway landing
area that slopes severely from left to right. The tee shot sets
up this hole and must be positioned in the fairway for a less
difficult approach shot. The approach shot is again to an elevated
green that is surrounded by the large swirling Trent Jones bunkers.
At the green you will stand in awe of the red rock formations
that provide the background beauty.
* Holes #12, #14 and #18 - Three of the best par 4's in the state.
Each hole requires the player to hit the tee shot long and accurately,
leaving them with a long to mid - iron shot the well bunkered
greens. If these holes don't catch your attention the scenery
will. In every direction you look you will be in awe of God's
red rock architecture.
The clubhouse facility houses the Golf Shop and the "Top of Sedona" restaurant. The restaurant is available for breakfast and lunch and is also a great place to unwind after your round of golf. Relive your round on the patio deck with your favorite tipple as you look out onto the golf course and enjoy the view of the lake with its fountains separating the 9th green from the 1st tee.
The clubhouse is also available for private functions for both golf club members and the general public. The space is perfect for wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, anniversary parties, retirement parties, special luncheons, corporate meetings, holiday parties and banquets.
The Golf Shop at Oakcreek Country Club is well stocked with the latest and greatest in golf fashion and golf equipment.
