Seven Canyons, Sedona, AZ

My husband played there. Worst course he played. The layout was terrible. Bad signage on the course for yardage and direction. Two men in charge of entire course. Driving range mediocre. Hard to get food or beverage on course had to phone it in. Not much in pro shop. No bag rack or attendant at bag drop. Won’t be back at that price.

Possibly the most beautiful course ever. Very narrow fairways and horrible signage - the only distance markers are on the cart paths and not very reliable. The scenery makes up for almost everything. Uber-expensive

This course has been opened to public play recently and it is without a doubt, one of the most beautiful courses in Arizona with incredible scenery. Bring a camera as some of the course scenery should be photographed.

The course was in good to excellent condition and the greens rolled true although somewhat difficult to read. The driving range was exceptional and unlimited use of the range is included in the greens fees.

We found the pro shop staff to be friendly and the restaurant was somewhat expensive but quite good.

There were two downsides to playing Seven Canyons. First, it was, and apparently had been, "cart paths ONLY" for some time. This was probably due to winter grass seeding but we were not told this until the Ranger mentioned it on the first tee.

Secondly, there is a distinct lack of markings directing players to the next tee box. On two occasions, we got to the tee box only to find a group in the fairway in front of us that had not been there before.In both cases, they were lost and had played the wrong hole: an easy mistake to make on this course.

Also, there are NO distance markings on the course itself except a 200 and 150 metal marker on most of the cart paths. This is one course that you MUST have a GPS with you or determining distances can really slow you down. Given the cart path only rule, it makes for a l-o-n-g day.

If you can get one of the $50.00 "resort rates", it's worth it. Just bring a GPS and a LOT of patience !
