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
Excellent layout
Very challenging and scenic layout. The course has 5 sets of tees so anyone can play it. Very good practice facilities as well.
Awesome course winding through the canyon.
Loved the layout. The only negative I had was the putting green was lightening fast but the course greens where slower.
Spectacular golf course and very challenging.
First round
It is not a forgiving course, however it is in pretty good condition, the GPS system was excellent, I lost a few balls but had an enjoyable day, for the money it exceeded my expectations, greens were fast maybe a little hard.
Very challenging
I liked the course very much, but as a first time player I was unaware of lay up areas. Cart tutorial of each hole didn't kick in until the middle of the round.
Great Track!
We all thought the beginning of the course was tougher than the Wicked 6. I would play here again. The food at the Wicked 6 Grill was fantastic. The staff was very friendly. We had a great time talking to Yvette and Kelly!
Fun course!
I loved the course. Challenging but not too hard for a female golfer with a average handicap. Had a fun group to play with on this date. First time to play and would come again.
Interesting day
Overall ok, but conditions of 1st cut and roughs were poor. I've played this course 5 or 6 times and this was the worst condition wise
HITTING THE FAIRWAYS A MUST!!!!!
Blind drives,elevated tees,very fast greens,this course has it all.Add strategically placed bunkers and multi contoured greens that are very hard to hold and you have a true test of golf.This course will definitely grind you especially the last six holes which they call the "wicked six" .I highly recommend this course if you can get it for a decent rate.
Wicked 6
Staff was very friendly and helpful
GPS on golf cart with info on each hole was very unique although I didn't listen and put one in the water , missed right on 17
18 green was rough but I've seen worse
200 plus par 3 on back nine offered a real challenge a miss right is good left not so much
Overall an excellent course
The wicked 6 is just that!
Beautiful golf course in the hills above phoenix. Very difficult with many many washes to get over, which makes it harder. I played it when the sun was setting,nothing prettier than a golf course that time of the day.
Beautiful golf course
The views were magnificent, all the staff friendly and helpful. The course plays pretty tough with the desert not far from the rough, but the time to play was quite reasonable at just over 4 hours. Nice fairways and excellent greens.
Desparately in need of maintenance......!
This course could be a real winner but appears to be the victim of a very modest maintenance budget. The fairways are worn bare in many locations, the greens are worn and bumpy and the bunkers are full of small stones. The staff told us that new owners took over in 2010 and everyone was hopeful that they would initiate an upgrading program. No evidence as yet! Understand that the Canadian Professional Golf Association is holding one of their major events at SunRidge in November. As a Canadian, I can tell you that if they experience these conditions they will not be very pleased....!
SunRidge Canyon Golf
Scenic course. Tight in places. A lot of variety with holes that feature change in elevation. The final 6 holes, called the "wicked six," are tough but rewarding if you hit good shots. Hole 18 is really tough and seemingly almost impossible to get par.
This is the most beautiful course in Scottsdale/Fountain Hills area. Worth every penny
Excellent golf course. Hard, beautiful. A thinking person's course.
The Best
My favourite course in AZ or for that matter anywhere, spectacular scenery, memorable holes, challenging but fair, great pace of play, great staff
Great challenge
I played this course as a single and was off first thing in the a.m. Played two balls and completed round in under 3 hours. Pace of play is enhanced by on cart GPS that are very accurate to the pin and give verbal advice at t box on how to play the hole. This is important because being on right side of the fairway for approach is important. Course is beautiful with amazing vistas (typical of the Fountain Hills courses) and the layout is interesting, for me meaning using all the clubs in my bag. Short Par 4's and challenging par 5's. strategic lay ups required as well as putting approaches on correct tier of the green. This course is not for the high handicapper but they do have forward T's that will help.
Sun Ridge vistor from Wisconsin
I liked the course. It was challenging from the tips. I thought the greens were inconsistent, looks like they were dead in spots and painted over with a green paint. Overall it was still a good course.
SunRidge
Course was in great condition, however, played a little slow. Other then that every things else was great.
Painted, very rough greens at SunRidge
We paid good money to play a nice course with beautiful mountain views. The views were great but the course really let us down. The greens were in very rough shape and were painted a green color. I think the course has somehow has lost their greens. We were never informed of this and we feel ,because of this ,the course definitely isn't worth the price
Amazing, challenging course
Nothing but good things to say about this course. From the practice facilities to the course everything was in great condition. Its a tough course, lots of target golf, absolutely no room for error anywhere. I don't recommend this course for beginners, should be a decent golfer to play otherwise it could be a long round. Views on the course were amazing and its located in a really nice area called Fountain hills. Will definitely go back and play it again.
