SunRidge Canyon Golf Club provides adventure amid natural terrain over 7,002 yards of par-71 golf. The golf course was laid out by the golf course architect Keith Foster, who hid the golf course in the ridges and canyons of the foothills of the McDowell Mountains, one of the last untouched bastions of the Southwestern United States.

The SunRidge Canyon Golf Club's signature hole is the 17th, and it is unique, giving golfers the option of shooting a 209-yard, par 3 over a box canyon today and then going for a 152-yard par 3 from an elevated tee tomorrow. Foster discovered the elevated-tee opportunity during a tour of the golf course while it was being constructed and added the Canyon set of tees right then. The vistas he knew golfers would get were enough to convince Foster to set up the second set of tees.

After a round of golf at the SunRidge Canyon Golf Club, head back to the Ridge Room, which attracts visitors and locals for the great view and Southwestern cuisine.

Challenging

Has a very challenging layout makes you think about every shot. Each hole seems to have a different character. PAR 3'S were really enjoyable. Greens were a little bumpy in spots you really needed to keep the ball below the hole played very fast.

I have always enjoyed playing this course. Since the Troon revision it's even more of a test of your golfing skills. The wicked 6 is true to form.

Great course but not in great shape right now

This is one of the most unique courses I have ever played. Every hole is creative and demanding. It's not an easy course and will test your game off the tee but it is a very fun track. The course is not in great shape right now, probably because of the transition between grasses. The greens were quite hard and didn't hold shots well at all. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone, I'm sure here in a few weeks it will be beautiful and the greens will be in better shape than they were today.

Fun challenging course with great patio lunch menu

Been wanting to play this course every time I come to Arizona, and finally did. Sure was worth it! Very distinct playable holes especially the last (wicked six) holes. Bonus was the excellent patio and lunch menu. Will most definitely be back.

Great Track

Very challenging. Front was far easier. Coming in on the back nine with wind was very difficult. The wicked six lived up to its name. Outstanding views - good condition overall. Worth the drive to Fountain Hills.

Great Desert Experience

This course is tough, but fair. It is a desert layout. What I liked most about it was the terrain. Big steep hills all around, big rocks. Also, while not overly developed, there are some big houses you can see from the course that are really cool. There's plenty to look at in between shots, plus views for miles of desert mountains. We played through sunset and it was gorgeous. Nice clubhouse with a great patio for after the round, also with terrific views. I would put it high on the list for anyone coming in from out of town that wants a real dramatic "Phoenix/Scottsdale desert golf experience".

Good course, lovely landscape, slooooww

Such a shame that completely absent course marshalling, which resulted in waiting on EVERY tee from the 6th hole for the group in front to tee off (because the group in front of them were still in the fairway) means that what should be a positive review for a good course, in good condition and in a great location, is unfortunately not a positive one. At one stage we had 3 groups waiting on one par 3!

Shame.

Enjoyed the day

Sun Ridge has always been a nice difficult course. My buddy an I got paired up with a father son twosome, the young kid had no interest in playing golf, but Dad was dragging him around with him and they slowed us down, although the pace of play overall was slow. This course is not a course for beginners, it is way too difficult.

Folks, let your kids be kids and enjoy spring break in the desert and splash around at the hotel pool!!!

good layout

i enjoyed the course...greens rolled fantastic, but were unrecpetive to anything less than gap wedge due to firmness. also because most greens are elevated especially (the wicked 6) it was nearly impossible to hold a green if you were more than 100yards out.

Tee shots demand proper placement in order to attack any green. Make sure you play the correct tees to allow shorter approach shots,

Great layout, views and challenging. slow plat

Love the layout, every hole has character and challenging. Teed off at 9am - slow play on back nine. 4 hr 50 minutes is too long. Ranger told us 2 gentlemen in late 80's and early 90 slowing course down. Not fair to everyone else.

Great views from multiple holes

Well designed course with scenic views. Course is in great condition. Greens are firm and fast. Shots off line are never to be found again. Not long in yardage but definitely challenging. A must play course. Amazing after round amenities also.

WOW I'd forgotten how much fun this course is.

Great test. Play the proper tees for your game.

Beautiful course, no 2 holes are the same.

Off the course, The Wicked 6 Grill, BEST SALMON TACOS EVER! Service great in all aspects. Our server in the grill, Gina, was great to say the least.

Revisiting

Pros: Nice layout, course knowledge is required but they give you a gps on your cart so pay attention.

Great shape with the exception of some greens.

Cons: Why in the world would you send out a 5 some.

We caught them and weren't able to finish - who made this decision and worse 2 holes in front of them there was a group of 6.

Golfers not fixing their pitch marks.

Good looking course but tough on first time players.

Many challenging tee boxes and greens are tough. Pretty course and good design but a difficult track for a weekend player.
