The Ridge on Sedona Golf Resort

We traded into this resort and stayed in a 2BDR unit near the main office. Did not realize how far Oak Creek was from Sedona, which was a bit of a minus on the location. However, some of the natural attractions are down in the direction of Oak Creek anyhow. Similar to some of the other reviews, we did experience a full blown sales blitz for units, tours, etc. and it puts a sour note on the experience as the last thing you want to do after driving for 10 hours is get bombarded like that.

The unit we stayed in was clean and well formatted. It was a 2BDR lockoff and both had full kitchens. The main bathroom has was very large and had multiple access doors. The kitchen was well done and had every modern amenity. We did not have a view and I suspect that as a non-owner we were put into one of the lower elevation units that just stare out to a grassy bank. Parking was tight as others have suggested, but we never arrived to find all the spots full. Furthest we had to walk was about 1-2 units down. Trust me, you can find much more challenging parking in Timeshares.

Facilities were crowded. I was fortunate to start my BBQ dinner before the big rush, but had about 4 other dads waiting to cook by the time I was finished. They definitely need to expand some of these features. The pool did have a nice view of the mountains. We did not spend alot of time there as we are outdoor people and did alot of hiking and swimming in the area.

Having been a little dubious about timeshares in general and some reviews I read on trip advisor my husband and I were pleasantly surprised during our stay here. The staff was helpful at all times, even checking to see if we were happy with our accommodations after we checked in. The concierge desk was also exceedingly helpful and always steered us in the right direction whether it was about activities or good restaurants in the area. Hot tubs were plentiful and clean, as were the pools. View was spectacular.

Where do I start! Just finding a parking place for check in was a challenge. Once inside, there were four people at the activities counter waiting to sell you tours, etc. However, only on person at the front desk with four to five parties waiting. Our unit was "down the hill" from the main resort. I nice walk if you want to go to the spa or heated pool. Our vie from our balcony was of the parking lot. In fact, you could reach over the railing an touch the car in front of your unit. Working ice machines were impossible to find. the front desk said they were frozen due to the cold weather. However, it was a high of 52 so I do not think that was the reason.

Our unit had all the ambiance of a Comfort Inn. Old carpet and Formica counter tops. The shower was very big, but since the shower head did not swivel, you had to stand right next to the wall to get wet.

Part of our check in instructions was a sheet stating if we did not collect the garbage, wash the dishes (no dishwasher) and pick up the place, we could be charged up to $35. Never heard of that before at a nice timeshare. How minor league and intimidating on their part!

This is a Diamond resort, but it is more of of a Cubic Zirconia.

We stayed at this resort in may 2009 . A great place , with beautiful views . Our room was just going to be remodled , but was very nice anyway. The resort is about 5-7 miles from down town Sedona , but is in a very nice town of oakcreek .

We always take long weekends to Sedona, and The Ridge on Sedona Golf Course is always our first choice. We will go to The Summit if we have to, but The Ridge on Sedona Golf Course is far superior. The rooms are spacious and the accomodations are great. The views from The Ridge on Sedona Golf Course are also the best to be had there.I don't really care for The Summit since it has been renovated. The colors are too dark, and the rooms look smaller, also the jacuzzis they have installed are half the size that they had before they renovated.
