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.

Tough but absolutely beautiful!!

We were greeted by Woody in the Pro shop who was very friendly and welcoming.

We were a twosome between a foursome and a threesome. You could drive on the rough but still took a little more time but totally understandable after overseeding. A few of the holes had blind shots but the audible flyover that the cart provided helped guide you to the correct placement of your shot.

What a tough course. The course was in such great shape and the views so exceptional it made you forget about your score.

After the round we purchased a few items in the Pro shop. Once again Woody helped us and was very attentive.

We will definitely be back soon -- we had heard great comments about SunRidge but you have to play it to fully appreciate it.

Great course

Sunridge Canyon is a demanding track. You must judge your distances correctly and have a great ball striking day or you will be in the desert most of the time. A number of blind shots also come into play.

The greens still had speed even though they were bumpy from aeriation. The course was in outstanding condition for this time of year.

The course never lets up but I would go back again and again to play this gem.

What a mess!

Besides the 4 hour and 40 minute round, empty water jugs on consecutive holes, waiting on every hole, the punched greens and us seeing a ranger once, it was a fun round. Such a great place to play, yet almost 5 hours is unacceptable. Get it together guys.

Always enjoy this scenic course !

Although the greens had been punched , I still enjoyed the course. Marcus inside was very pleasant & Blake outside was energetic and helpful for sure. Off the tee is difficult when windy , straight is good. Fairways in fine shape & bunkers as well. Will DEFINATELY be back Folks, THANKS.

Second Time Around

This was my second time playing SRC. It was a bit disappointing in that they had plugged the greeens and not mowed them that day. The greens were bumpy and very, very slow. Would have liked to have known that in advance. The course itself is a great test of golf. Nice layout with some very tough holes, and the last six are extremely tough. Will do it again, hoping that the greens will be in better shape next time.

One of the best in the area

I played this course during a golfing weekend in which i played Troon North, Boulders, Quintero and We-Ko-Pa, and this course was on par with the rest in terms of pure enjoyment, layout and scenery. Most tee shots make you think about which club you have in your hand and the par 3s feature some scenic and fun elevation changes. Greens were a little slow, however were firm and well covered, and once they get a cut they will be fantastic. Tough finishing holes, but a great challenge. Great practice facilities, carts have touch screen GPS and the value for such a good course is unbeatable. Will be back in a heartbeat

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.

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.

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".
