The Oakcreek Country Club

The Oakcreek Country Club sits in Sedona, Arizona, where the high desert landscape meets the dramatic red rock formations that define this part of the state. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., the course reflects his characteristic approach to strategic design, with an emphasis on shot values and visual clarity. The routing takes advantage of the natural elevation changes and the presence of Oak Creek, which winds through portions of the property and comes into play on several holes. Jones's work here incorporates the native terrain and vegetation typical of northern Arizona's high country, with ponderosa pines, junipers, and desert scrub framing the fairways. The red rock vistas provide a distinctive backdrop throughout the round, though the course itself occupies a more vegetated corridor than the exposed rock formations visible in the distance. The design features Jones's trademark bunkering style and green complexes that reward precision while offering recovery options for less-than-perfect shots. Sedona's elevation—roughly 4,500 feet—means the ball travels farther in the thinner air, a factor players must account for in club selection. The climate allows for year-round golf, though summer temperatures can be warm. The Oakcreek serves primarily as a private club for its membership, offering a retreat-style golf experience in one of Arizona's most scenic regions, away from the larger resort developments found in Phoenix and Scottsdale.
