I played this course about several years ago and what stood out to me the most was the hole sequencing at the start. I remember this b/c I almost posted about it back then to get the opinions whose job it is actually building golf courses and anticipating slowdowns.
It starts with a short (borderline drivable) 4, followed by a “get out your camera 3”, then a reachable 5. I think the first 3 holes took nearly an hour and a half.
Sedona is one of my favorite spots in the world, but not a place I feel the need to lug my clubs with me; though Seven Canyons down the road is as picturesque as they come.
