The small, unincorporated town of Seligman is not a golf destination in its own right, but it makes for a colorful pit stop for travelers along I-40 and historic Route 66. Lodging options come in the low-end, motel variety, but several have a fun nostalgic feel to them. There are no golf courses in the town, but the Talking Rocks Golf Course is located about 25 miles southwest of downtown, and the town of Williams, 45 miles to the east, is home to the Elephant Rocks course.
