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.

| Course highlights: |
| * Hole #4, 155 yard, par 3 - The "Signature" hole. From an elevated tee, your tee shot sails towards the red rocks with the hope of landing on the elevated green which is guarded by two large greenside bunkers and makes this hole no pushover. |
| * Hole #5, 375 yard, par 4 - A classic dogleg left with a large bunker positioned in the left side of the fairway to protect the hole from being shortened by the long hitters. The approach shot is tricky because it plays to an elevated green surrounded by bunkers on the left, right and back of the green. |
| * Hole #6, 375 yard par 4 - The most underrated hole at Oakcreek Country Club. This hole plays slightly uphill to a fairway landing area that slopes severely from left to right. The tee shot sets up this hole and must be positioned in the fairway for a less difficult approach shot. The approach shot is again to an elevated green that is surrounded by the large swirling Trent Jones bunkers. At the green you will stand in awe of the red rock formations that provide the background beauty. |
| * Holes #12, #14 and #18 - Three of the best par 4's in the state. Each hole requires the player to hit the tee shot long and accurately, leaving them with a long to mid - iron shot the well bunkered greens. If these holes don't catch your attention the scenery will. In every direction you look you will be in awe of God's red rock architecture. |
| * Bunkers : 67 Water Hazards : 3 |
