Par 66 layouts often get dismissed before a golfer ever tees it up, but courses in Arizona's Verde Valley have a way of reframing expectations fast. Cottonwood sits in a high desert corridor between Sedona's red rock country and the cooler pines of Mingus Mountain — a landscape that tends to make whatever you're doing outdoors feel more vivid than it has any right to. Golf here means playing under wide, unfiltered Arizona sky with that distinctive Verde Valley light that shifts from copper to gold depending on the time of day.
Formerly known as Pine Shadows, the course has been rebranded as Coyote Trails, a name that fits the scrubby, sun-baked character of this corner of Yavapai County better than its predecessor. A par 66 configuration typically leans heavily on shorter holes, which rewards shot-making and precision over raw power — the kind of track where a thoughtful 15-handicapper can compete with a single-digit player on a given afternoon.
For visitors using Cottonwood as a base for exploring Sedona or Jerome, Coyote Trails offers an unpretentious, accessible round without the resort pricing that dominates the region's better-known destinations.
