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 midwestern 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. 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.
