Oak Creek Country Club. The Oak Creek Country Club is a good semiprivate 18-hole, par-72 course designed by the father-son team of Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Robert Trent Jones Jr. It is a traditional, rather than desert, course with long tree-lined fairways and slightly elevated greens amid lovely red rock views. Providing challenges for beginner through advanced golfers, this course is described as "player-friendly." Greens fee is $99 before 1 PM and $79 after 1 PM. 690 Bell Rock Blvd., Village of Oak Creek, Sedona, AZ, 86351. 928/284-1660. www.oakcreekcountryclub.com. 18 holes. 6824 yds. Par 72. Greens fee: $99.

Sedona Golf Resort. A gorgeous par-71 course, Sedona Golf Resort was designed by Gary Panks to take advantage of the many changes in elevation and scenery.

The restaurant—with panoramic red-rock vistas—serves breakfast and lunch daily. 35 Ridge Trail Dr., Village of Oak Creek, Sedona, AZ, 86351. 928/284-9355 or 877/733-6630. www.sedonagolfresort.com. 18 holes. 6646 yds.
