Best Golf Resorts in Sedona, Arizona

The best Sedona golf resorts are Sedona Golf Resort, the public 18-hole course paired with the Hilton Sedona Resort at Bell Rock, and Enchantment Resort, whose guests get access to the private Tom Weiskopf-designed Seven Canyons. If you can't get on Seven Canyons, Oakcreek Country Club is the semi-private track most golfers actually end up playing, and it's the one with the strongest reputation for conditioning. Sedona is a strange golf market — five courses total, only two of them fully open to the public — so who you're staying with often decides where you tee it up.

Key Takeaways

• Sedona has five golf courses: Sedona Golf Resort and Oakcreek Country Club are open to outside play; Seven Canyons is gated to Enchantment Resort guests and members; Canyon Mesa and Poco Diablo are short, 9-hole options.
• Sedona Golf Resort just wrapped a $400,000 bunker and irrigation project (finished April 2026), so its conditioning right now is as good as it's been in years.
• Oakcreek Country Club is the widest, most forgiving of the full-length courses and pulls the strongest ongoing reviews of any public track in town.
• Seven Canyons has been called one of the most scenic courses in the country, but the only way onto it is a room at Enchantment Resort or a member invite — there's no public tee sheet.
• Golf is a half-day activity here, not the whole trip; Sedona's hiking, spa culture, and red-rock scenery are strong enough to build a mixed group's itinerary around, with golf as one piece of it.

What are the best golf resorts in Sedona?

Two properties actually put a golf course on-site or under exclusive access, and that's really the short list. Sedona Golf Resort sits adjacent to the Hilton Sedona Resort at Bell Rock, and its 6,646-yard, par-71 layout — designed by Gary Panks in 1988 — is the closest thing the town has to a true stay-and-play resort course open to anyone booking a tee time. Enchantment Resort, tucked into Boynton Canyon on the west side of town, is the other one, and its draw is Seven Canyons: a private, gated club that Enchantment guests can access but nobody else can just walk onto.

Poco Diablo Resort also carries a golf course, but calling it a resort golf trip is a stretch — it's a 9-hole, par-27 executive course with holes running as short as 53 yards, built for a quick evening loop rather than a serious round.

Do I need to stay on property to play?

Only for Seven Canyons. Sedona Golf Resort takes outside tee times same as any daily-fee course, and Oakcreek Country Club — Sedona's original golf course, a Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Jr. design — is semi-private but sells public tee times too. If Seven Canyons is the one you want, book Enchantment Resort first and treat the golf as an amenity of the stay.

Which Sedona course is best-conditioned right now?

Sedona Golf Resort has the freshest work done to it. The course finished a four-month, $400,000 renovation in April 2026 that rebuilt 39 greenside bunkers, eliminated 5.5 more that weren't earning their keep, and replaced a mainline irrigation pipe on holes 11 and 13 that had been running since the course opened in 1988. General manager Jeremy Hayman said the irrigation upgrade should mean more consistent overnight watering cycles and firmer, faster turf — the kind of thing you notice on approach shots more than you'd expect.

Oakcreek Country Club is the other strong option, and it's the one with the deeper track record: it's routinely the highest-reviewed full course in the area on GolfPass, with tree-lined fairways, elevated greens ringed by large bunkers, and five tee options stretching from 4,419 to 6,824 yards so it plays fair for a wide range of handicaps. If your group has a mix of single-digit players and 20-handicaps, Oakcreek's tee flexibility is the more practical call than Sedona Golf Resort's tighter, more dramatic elevation changes.

What about Seven Canyons?

By reputation, Seven Canyons is the best-conditioned and most scenic of the bunch — it's been described by more than one golf writer as among the most beautiful courses in the country, playing close to 7,000 yards from the tips with 360-degree red-rock views on nearly every hole. I'd take that with a small grain of salt since it's a members' club with limited outside review data, but the Tom Weiskopf pedigree and the setting inside a gated Boynton Canyon community aren't in question.

How do you pair golf with Sedona's non-golf draws?

Play golf in the morning and give the afternoon to the red rocks — that's the honest answer for a mixed group where not everyone plays. Sedona's real strength as a destination isn't golf; it's the hiking and the scenery around it. Cathedral Rock and Devil's Bridge are the two trails everyone talks about, Slide Rock State Park is a natural water slide carved into Oak Creek Canyon that's genuinely fun for non-golfers and kids, and the drive up Oak Creek Canyon itself toward Flagstaff is worth doing even if nobody in the car hikes a step.

For a group split between golfers and non-golfers, Sedona Golf Resort works logistically because Bell Rock — one of the most photographed formations in town — is essentially next door, so the golfers can play and the rest of the group can hike Bell Rock's trail loop and meet back for lunch. If your group leans toward relaxation over trailheads, Enchantment Resort's Mii amo spa is one of the more well-known destination spas in the Southwest and pairs naturally with a Seven Canyons round for whoever's staying there.

Is a Pink Jeep tour worth it if you're already golfing?

If you've only got one full day off the course, it's a reasonable way to see the backcountry terrain — Broken Arrow and Diamondback Gulch are the routes most visitors take — without committing to a full hike. It's touristy, but it delivers on the scenery in a way a short hike from a trailhead parking lot sometimes doesn't.

When's the best time of year to play golf in Sedona?

Spring and fall. Sedona sits at roughly 4,500 feet, which keeps summer highs more tolerable than Phoenix but still warm enough that afternoon rounds in July and August get uncomfortable. Winter is playable — this is one of the few desert destinations that markets itself on year-round golf — but mornings can start cold enough to need a jacket for the first few holes. March through May and September through November are when the courses, the weather, and the hiking trails all line up.
