The course itself was probably the most scenic of any of the courses I've played so far (that says a lot...) The fairways and greens were perfectly maintained with beautiful back drops of red rocks surrounding the course. Pictures really doesn't do it justice and you really have to see it to the experience the beautiful views of the course. The course opened in 2002 and was designed by Tom Weiskopf, the same designed of the Troon North Courses I played last week. It was surprising how many mature trees were out there being such a new course.
I started the round well and was pretty consistent off the tee with the driver. I love playing in such high altitudes since it make me hit the ball much longer. I thought I had hit the drive will on the 8th hole so I decided to measure the distance from tee to ball. To my surprise, it measure to exactly 300 yards! After getting that boost of confidence, I think my ego got the better of me and the wheel completely came off in the back nine (yes Brad...you are gonna shake your head when you see the score card.) It was like two completely different person showed up between the front nine and the back nine. But hey, at least the scenery was pretty :)
I left Sedona this morning and headed to Page, AZ to start my 3.5 day white water rafting/camping trip in the Grand Canyon. I'll be taking lots to pictures on that adventure and posting it after the trip. Meanwhile, it'll be good to be disconnected for a few days and really enjoy something I've always wanted to do since I was little.
Hope you guys enjoy the pictures of Seven Canyons.
Yes, that's the driving range!
