Seven Canyons, the private destination club in Sedona, Arizona, is home to a spectacular golf course. Designed by former British Open and U.S. Senior Open champion Tom Weiskopf, the course is 6,746 yards, par 70. Says Weiskopf, “It is one of the finest sites I have ever had to work with.”
Reminiscent of some of the United States’ great golf courses designed in the early 1900’s by such noted architects as Alister MacKenzie and Donald Ross, Seven Canyons puts an emphasis on shot-making and course management. Unlike most new modern courses measuring upwards of 7,300 square feet, the new course is a “throwback” to the classic courses of the past. “Most of the new courses being designed today are more than 7,200 yards long,” explains Weiskopf. “This is not the case at Seven Canyons. The player must think his way around the golf course. It demands precise play from the tee and a delicate short game in its 18 holes.”
Set in the middle of the Coconino National Forest and Red-Rock Secret Mountain Wilderness area, Seven Canyons may be one of the country’s most scenic golf courses. Dramatic changes in elevation offer spectacular views of Sedona’s striking red rock formations, and the San Francisco Peaks. A distinct feature of the course is its “smallish” greens, averaging in the neighborhood of 6,000 square feet. Classic-style bunkering—
similar to some of the great courses in the east and Midwest—is combined with mature trees, natural water features and two man-made lakes to create a superlative golf setting that compliments Sedona’s unparalleled natural beauty. Simply put, Seven Canyons, surrounded by 100,000 acres of red rock enhanced national forest land, represents an opportunity of a lifetime for affluent members and owners searching for a combination of natural exhilaration and serene relaxation.
A spacious practice park includes a two-tiered driving range and putting green. It is considered by many to be the most scenic practice facility in the world. It featured 25 hitting stations, a 20,000 square foot teeing area, and four target greens, 5,000 square foot putting green and a chipping area with practice bunker.
One of the most unique aspects of Seven Canyons will soon be its Club Village, now in the making. It will be an enclave of three intimate structures with connecting courtyards that have been effectively designed to be in perfect harmony with the awesome red-rock surroundings. The Club Village includes a golf shop, fine and casual dining, a member’s lounge, locker facilities and rooms for special events and meetings. A spa and wellness center is also in the works with complete fitness facilities and a swimming pool.
Offering private gold club memberships, luxurious shared ownership villas, and 30 private home sites, Seven Canyons is destined to become the Southwest’s most exclusive address for those looking for “an unparalleled level of pride and personal service.”
