Plan Your Next Trip the Right Way

Insider Notes:

Scheduling: Before booking tee times in the Sedona/Verde Valley area, check each course’s overseeding and aerification schedule and call the pro shop or review the course calendar to confirm availability and avoid closures.

Multiple Courses: For the most convenient access to multiple courses and to minimize drive time, plan to stay in the Sedona area.

Club Selection: Many courses in this area are at elevations above 4,500 feet, and golf balls can travel 10–15% farther than at sea level, so adjust club selection accordingly for accurate distance control.

Wine Spots: Explore the Verde Valley wine region with stops at tasting rooms around Page Springs and Cottonwood to pair local wines with scenic views of vineyards and oak‑studded hills.

Outdoor Experience: For a quintessential outdoor experience beyond golf, take a Jeep tour, helicopter flight, or hot‑air balloon ride over Sedona’s iconic red rocks and canyons to see the landscape from above.
