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 mid-western 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. 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. 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.
