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.

Terrible greens

The greens had many bare spots. The bare spots were covered with green colored sand. The fairways were also in rough shape. The bunkers also were also lacking sand.

Good not great

For the money, (high season) not a lot of value here. Front nine conditioning left a little to be desired, back was in better shape for some reason, IMO. I would play it again but not for top dollar.

Nice track

Enjoyed the course and views. Front nine is basically downhill and back comes back up. Last six holes known as Wicked Six - fun stretch and not crazy hard.

Fun course

I really like this course. Some of the greens were a bit damaged and not real consistent, but don’t let that stop you from playing there.

Wicked 6; gotta love those holes….18 destroyed my round….chipped short twice! Brutal. Haha.

Tough, Challenging Golf

Peak season in Arizona. Course was not cheap, but it was in great condition, facility is nice, and their people were great. We played in 4:10, which is a good pace for a premium course in peak season. Greens were in great shape and rolling well, probably at least a 12. Front 9 is generally down hill and with the wind. Back nine is generally uphill and into the prevailing winds. The last 6 holes are very appropriately named “The Wicked Six”. Beware!

First time

Starter- Pete was a little gruff. Billed us for 5 green fees for 4 golfers, was an experience to get refunded for one. Staff in pro shop was not very accommodating with issue they created.
