Fore the Win
Even as Dad often complains about his day on the links, those acres of green grass, rolling hills, and sand traps are still his most favorite place of all and the beautiful weather in Sedona makes golf a very popular sport. Choose one of our Sedona.org golf course havens and he can spend more of his Arizona vacation on the course and less time commuting.
Seven Canyons Golf Club, located at 625 Golf Club Way offers an elevated golf experience, lying in the shadows of the red rocks and providing a beautiful glimpse of the natural beauty of our red rock town. It’s a private golf club though, therefore membership is required to access it.
Alternatively, for a guaranteed public tee time with famous views of Bell Rock, book a round at the Sedona Golf Resort in the Village of Oak Creek.
Time to Eat
Our fully equipped kitchens will allow guests to eat as many, or as few, meals at home, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t treat dad to a meal out once in a while. The thing about dads, however, is they don’t feel comfortable or at home at the fancy restaurants we often treat our moms to, preferring the casual vibe and the hearty portions often found in local diners.
As a matter of fact, your dad probably has his favorite seat at the diner in your hometown, popping in for breakfast and hanging out till lunch, solving all the world’s problems from his perch on the stool in front of the counter. And although Sedona is known for its Mexican food, we also have more than our fair share of quaint and cozy diners, including Rascal Modern American Diner & Bar.
Located at 2250 W State Route 89A and open 7 days a week from 7 AM until 10 PM, Rascal is the creation of renowned Chef Mercer Mohr, offering a sophisticated ‘Neo-Diner’ menu that elevates comfort food with high-quality, locally sourced ingredients.
The menus found at Rascal are a subtle blend of high end cuisine and down home yumminess and every dad will feel at home within its walls.
Finding Peace at the End of a Fishing Pole
As much as dad loves his family, he may love the peace he finds at the end of a fishing pole a tiny bit more and there will be many opportunities for him to slip away from your holiday hideaway and find the quiet he needs. Oak Creek runs through Sedona, providing many beautiful spots to sit with a cooler and a pole and soak in the serenity of the area while catching the night’s dinner, and quite possibly, bringing home enough fish to enjoy more than a few fresh caught meals.
Just remember to grab an Arizona fishing license first; you can easily buy a short-term permit online via the Arizona Game and Fish Department or at local shops like Canyon Creek Anglers.
If Dad wants to bring the kids or grandkids along for the fun, Sedona’s Rainbow Trout Farm, 3500 N State Route 89A, is always fully stocked and ready to help spread the love for the sport onto the next generation.
Safari Jeep Tours for a Father’s Day in Sedona
The beauty of the landscape and the history of our red rock town deserves to be explored in a more in depth manner and the Safari Jeep Tours company, any of the jeep tour companies, will give dad an even greater appreciation of the gift you have given him.
Located at 355 Jordan Road, Safari offers a variety of tours that will take guests into the heart of red rock country, led by knowledgeable guides that know how to make education entertaining. Also offering ATV tours and RTV rentals, the beauty of Sedona is just waiting to be explored in whatever manner will make dad happiest.
Pro tip: Father’s Day is peak season in Sedona. We recommend booking your Safari Jeep tour at least two weeks in advance, and don’t forget to pack extra water and sunblock, as the high-altitude sun is stronger than most visitors expect.
At Home Adventures with Sedona.org
Some of his favorite memories of this Arizona adventure will be the ones spent in the warm embrace of our holiday hideaways. Grilling up the trout he caught during his fishing expeditions on Oak Creek, hanging out by the pool with a cold beer in hand, or watching the golfers on the course from the back patio of the home you chose, enjoying the moments off the green as much as he enjoys the ones on.
State of the art televisions will make him feel he is sitting behind the dugout of the big game and comfy couches will ensure that he falls asleep before the last crack of the bat happens. Reserve the property you know Dad will love best today!
