Prescott, Sedona & Flagstaff Golf Courses & Tee Times

Who runs public golf in Prescott, Sedona & Flagstaff

Two cities own their golf. The City of Prescott owns the 36 holes at Antelope Hills, the North and South courses, and Wikipedia lists the city's other courses inside city limits (Capital Canyon, Talking Rock, Prescott Lakes) as private. The City of Williams owns and runs Elephant Rocks, the old Williams Country Club, which was a private members' club until 1990. Everything else in this market is a daily-fee, resort or semi-private course: Sedona Golf Resort (owned by the Allred family since 2021 and part of the Troon portfolio), Oakcreek Country Club, StoneRidge in Prescott Valley and the semi-private Prescott Golf Club. No resident rate for Prescott or Williams was confirmed in this pass.

Booking tee times in Prescott, Sedona & Flagstaff: the local rules

At Antelope Hills the public can book 7 days out, and members and some passholders get longer. The course itself says summer tee times go fast and to book exactly 7 days ahead.

Why tee times in Prescott, Sedona & Flagstaff are hard to get

Golf in Prescott, Sedona & Flagstaff peaks in winter, when seasonal residents and visitors arrive. From roughly November through April, weekend mornings are the hardest times on the sheet to get, and even weekdays fill up.

Most public courses open their tee sheet a set number of days ahead, often 7 to 14, and many municipal courses give residents or card holders an earlier window. The best weekend-morning times usually go the day they're released. Leagues and outings take blocks of the sheet before the public ever sees them.

When tee time cancellations happen

Booked-up doesn't mean gone. Plans change: groups cancel ahead of the course's cancellation deadline (often 24 to 48 hours out), players drop when the forecast turns, and a group that shrinks leaves an open spot. Those times quietly come back on the booking page, usually for minutes, not hours.

How to get a tee time in Prescott, Sedona & Flagstaff

Doing it by hand? Here's what works.

1. Know the booking window. Find out how many days ahead each course releases times, and whether residents get an earlier window. Be ready the morning it opens.
2. Look again 24 to 48 hours out. That's when most cancellation deadlines pass and spots come back.
3. Be flexible on group size. Singles and twosomes fit into gaps a foursome can't.
4. Try twilight and weekday afternoons. They're the last to fill and often cheaper.
5. Keep a quicker course in your back pocket. Nine-hole and executive courses are easier to get on and play faster. Around here that includes Continental Country Club.
