SunRidge Canyon Golf Club
About
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.

Beautiful hole! Photo submitted by danthomson on 09/25/2012
Don't think it is a walk over
A stunning course. Great holes. Well placed bunkers and other obstacles.
The first 5 holes are not all that difficult, giving you the impression you are going to play the round of your life, but as you get further in the round the level of difficulty increases with the notorious wicked 6 last holes putting you back your typical playing level
Cart Path Only
Played Sunridge 10 days ago as cart path only. Asked staff when coming off cart paths and was told Nov. 1.
Booked tee time for today, showing no restrictions but was told on 1st tee that they were extending cart path only for a few more weeks. Was not happy during our 4hr 40 min round with only about 50 players on the course. Just let us know before we get there. No way I would have books the time if I had known.
SunRidge Canyon
Beautiful course. Very challenging. Would definitely recommend the course.
Great course but pace of play a bit slow
Not a difficult course if shots are well managed. First timers may not score well.
Great day of golf!
Lucked out on timing - big tournament just finished so was able to go out as a single with no one else ahead.. Played 18 in 2 hours 10 minutes without rushing! Course is very challenging - but in great shape after the fall overseed. Greens are true and pretty fast. Desert Scenery was great. Staff were super friendly. Bring extra balls - you can loose them after hitting good shots on this course! Straight wins over length here - its a hard layout and tight - but fun if you plan for it.
Good value for these $60
Challenging but fair. Group in front somewhat slow & we never saw a marshal.
This course is basically unplayable
I am an 8 handicap and I found the course to be extremely unfair. The designer laid out the course in an area that never should have had a golf course. I would not recommend this course to anyone. The first hole was about the only playable hole. It was brutal and no fun to play because you never felt you had a chance to score.
Great Track for the Experienced Golfer
Great Views in a canyon. Down hill for the front 9 and up hill the second 9. Need to stay in the fairway to score. The rough was very thick which was an automatic bogey. Glad we went to play just don't expect your best score.
Take the Drive
This course is located in Fountain Hills, which is the most picturesque area of the valley. The greens were immaculate, rarely flat and seldom predictable. The fairways were well manicured but the rough was rough! There are several par 4s on which one should leave the driver in the bag. The staff was extremely friendly and happy that we took the drive. The cost was significantly less expensive than comparable Troon Courses. Its a great value especially if you want a memorable experience, great greens, and a well thought out layout--- without paying a mortgage to play.
Not in good shape yet.
I think that they opened this course too soon. The tee boxes are not in good shape. The winter grass needs some time... Overall the course is in poor shape.
Excellent and challenging
Fun course with lots of elevation change especially on the last 6 holes which go significantly uphill, making them very challenging.
Nice place to play, couple of glitches.
One of the nicer places to play in the Phoenix area but out in Fountain Hills so take that into account. Today there was a shortage of carts so we had to be driven to the range and wait for a cart to become available 15 minutes before tee time. Also, I had called about overseeding and was told that had been done back on the third but did not tell me that it was cart path only and I hate the surprises.
exellent condition after re-seeding
Cart path golf but for good price on golf now nobody complaint, great course conditions and nice rolling greens will play again soon....
Great Golf Course
Very challenging golf course with a variety of holes.
Course Rating
I played from the white tees and the course rating is very low from those tees. I play at lot (110 rounds so far this year) This rating should be at least 70 from those tees with the slope at 126.
First Time at SunRidge Canyon.
We were greeted at the bag drop with a pleasant staffer who got our information and had our bags waiting for us on a cart. The pro shop was well stocked and the professional staff was pleasant and efficient with checking us in. It was the first day after over seeding so some of the rough was a bit long. Overall the golf course condition was great and design was interesting. The golf course really does run through the canyon and makes for some interesting golf holes. The cart had an updated GPS system that gave you a recommendation on how to play each hole when you arrived at the tee area. I would definitely go back again and would recommend it to anyone to play.
Outstanding
What a fantastic facility this is. very enjoyable. Highly recommend it. Staff is fantastic too.
Good summer condition
Excellent summer condition for Phoenix. Took two golfers that never player there before and they were impressed with the course and the good conditions. We will all be gong back to play again next month.
Breath taking views
The course has beautiful views and lots of wildlife to enjoy while playing. I personally found the course difficult, but I would suggest playing the course and experiencing it for yourself.
One of the Top Courses in Arizona!! Great Value!!
This was my first time playing SunRidge Canyon what a course!!! The course was just beautiful, extremely well maintained. The practice facility was excellent the staff was very friendly. Front nine is much easier then the back nine. When you see the sign “Wicked Six” be ready for a challenging six holes. The 17th is a par 3 it was playing 207 yards what a unique hole, my favorite hole on the course. Each hole was difficult in its own way most greens were elevated it seem that I use my flop shot more on the course than any other that I have played in a long time. Great GPS system!! Had a great time playing this course!! To bad they are closing the middle of July and will not reopen until mid October.
