Continental Country Club

Continental Country Club sits below Mount Elden in Flagstaff, Arizona, roughly 30 miles north of Sedona and a frequent add-on to Sedona golf itineraries looking for elevation variety. The 18-hole par-71 layout measures 6,029 yards and was designed by Bob E. Baldock, with undulating fairways, mature pines, and mountain-cool conditions made possible by Flagstaff's 7,000-foot elevation. The greens at Continental are noticeably quicker than neighboring courses, and the club's cart-anywhere policy (no forced cart-path-only sections) speeds play in a way that most Arizona desert courses don't allow. Reviewers describe the atmosphere as quiet and peaceful, a destination-club feel without the destination pricing. For Sedona visitors willing to drive north into Flagstaff's Ponderosa pine country, Continental is a pleasant break from the red-rock desert golf that dominates the rest of the region.
