I wanted to try out golf in Flagstaff but a friend reminded me that Sedona is just thirty miles south. Sedona is one of our favorite locations in the country, so I jump at making a tee time there. We take our time driving on down Route 89. This beautiful scenic drive follows Oak Creek Canyon down from the Colorado Plateau. The eroded edge of this escarpment makes for astounding scenery. In the town of Sedona, the rocks turn a beautiful shade of red. Aimee has often commented that this area should have been a national park. Instead it is crowded with homes and businesses and tourists.

We continue south to Oakcreek Country Club where we check-in and have a nice lunch on the restaurant deck. After hitting a few balls on the range, we are off in our two-some following two singles. We wait on every hole but I don't mind. It gives us time to enjoy the scenery and take lots of photos.

The course is lush and in great condition. Every hole is not surrounded by red rocks, but enough of them are that we think we could get used to playing here. While neither of us had any blow-up holes, we found it hard to score well because we only packed half our golf clubs. We did this to make room for luggage in the trunk. Finished we make the drive back to Flagstaff stopping at the many scenic turnouts.
