Sedona offers a unique and spectacular golf experience set against red rock formations that make it one of the most visually stunning places to play in America. With a handful of courses including the acclaimed Sedona Golf Resort and Seven Canyons, the market is smaller than Phoenix or Scottsdale but attracts destination golfers seeking a distinctive experience. Elevation at 4,500 feet means cooler temperatures than the Valley of the Sun—making Sedona's summer golf far more comfortable than Phoenix—and ball flight plays noticeably longer than at sea level. Local instructors work primarily with resort guests and destination golfers, giving them particular expertise in quick-improvement lessons and adapting technique for altitude and the course conditions unique to high-desert golf. If you're combining a golf trip with Sedona's famous hiking and wellness scene, it's an exceptional setting for a lesson or two.
