Oakcreek Country Club scenically runs alongside the base of Sedona's famous red rock formations. The skillfully designed layout, benefitting from the design input of Robert Trent Jones Snr and Jnr, will test every facet of your game, not least your accuracy from the tee.
The usually excellently maintained course is laid out in two nine-hole loops. Pairs of holes weave their way between the houses, which are generally tucked away behind bushes and mature pines, and never too conspicuous. Water is sparingly used, but threatens on the four or five holes where it is in play.
While Oakcreek is not overly undulating (unlike the nearby course at Sedona Golf Resort), it does provide many picturesque close-up views onto the area's impressive red rock formations. With an overall parkland rather than desert feel, this is a layout that continually probes and tests your golfing skills.
Accuracy from the tee and finesse around the well-bunkered greens giving the greatest rewards. This is not a golf course that takes kindly to wayward power-hitting. 300-yard misdirected drives aimed at the often relatively tight and tree-lined fairways are unlikely to produce a flattering score.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

Located in Arizona's high desert under the towering southwestern rim of the vast Colorado Plateau, the area around Sedona is one of Arizona's premier tourism, recreation, resort, retirement and art centres.
Characterised by massive red-rock formations, as well as the contrasting and spectacular Oak Creek Canyon, the area surrounding Sedona is considered at least as beautiful as many national parks. The cool high desert nights in summer, also attracts many local visitors.

Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises.
