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.

Playable for all skill levels
We played on Tuesday February 12, 2013. Course condition was great. Greens were not great - but still good (only choices above for course condition were "requires attention" "maintained" and "pristine" - course was much better than "maintained" but not quite "pristine"). I am a 8 handicap and my buddy is a 20. I played from the blacks and he played from the golds. The course was extremely playable for both of us. Staff was very friendly. Beautiful views. Great outdoor bar area to have a drink after the round. Would play again in a heartbeat.
Great course, nice layout for target golf, layups and risk/reward shots.
Nice challenging course for the above average player. Not recommended for those players with 18 hdcp or highr unless you plan on bringing 2 dozn golf balls.
WOW!
What a nice track and the wicked six was pretty cool and tough. 17 and 18 could be the toughest 2 finishing holes i have played and the 19 hole was great to sit back and have a beverage.
Picturesque canyon course, not too hard for the average golfer.
This was my first time playing SunRidge Canyon. Except for the rainy weather, my experience was an excellent one. Since I was playing as a single golfer, I was concerned with not knowing where the hazards were located. The course provided a course map showing hazards and yardages, which made my experience even better.
I hope to return to this course on a warmer and sunny day!
Fantastic fun course
Great course in great condition and a very fun course to play. a most for people looking for a true desert course
Long, Challenging, great layout, well worth a visit.
Played off the tips, a very tough layout with a premium on accuracy and length off the tee. Par 3's are probably the best set I have ever played. Fairways were in good shape and greens rolled very well. Staff very nice and friendly. will be back for sure but unless your bombing it off the tee avoid the black tees.
Good golf course. Very challenging.
Really enjoyed the day. Good ranger. Made sure the pace of play was being kept.
Great Views, Great condition, Excellent Service.
The Wicked Six was great, very challenging. Pin Placements combined with the back nine hole lengths made for a difficult round of golf. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a challenge.
Like course
First time played course in winter. Enjoyed playing the course but not the same condition as playing in may and june
Course condition was excellent. Overseeding on fairways only, but a nice effect from the tee blocks.
Lovely views, elevation changes, and nice carries over water and 'washes'. Every hole was unique with varying club selection off the tees. Due to a cold snap, the course was empty. We were able to walk the course, but there are some lengthy walks from green to tee.
Winter condition but every hole interesting, fabulous views.
I played this course while visiting in May 2012 and found the beauty, greens, hole architecture and views wonderful. This I played January 1st and of course greens were running 8 and not 11 but still a fun difficult track. Bring your range finder and check every distance before you hit. There is no forgiveness in this mountainside desert course!
Challenging and Beautiful!
Excellent course conditions, greens were rolling true and probably
around 10. Fairways are forgiving but not gimme's. The views are wonderful and the course is challenging enough to keep you focused. This is one of my top 20 courses in Arizona.
A Must Play
If your looking for a challenging course with great views a nice little breeze and a fantastic staff, then you must play Sunridge Canyon. The last six holes are called the wicked six and are great finishing holes. Go play.
Bring your A Game
Beautiful layout and a challenge to say the least. The wicked 6 are truly that. Played on Dec. 31st, a little cool for that time of year, high only in the mid 50's. Very scenic, and a fabulous track to have your butt kicked for about 4 hours.
Enjoy
Scenic and enjoyable corse to play...great setting
First time I played it and it was a good experience..gorgeous setting and challenging..the W 6 deserve their name up hill and into the wind. The staff were very accommodating and pleasant.
Challenging course
Great layout! Greens were very nice. Friendly staff.
I played this course 3 years ago and it was in great shape.
This December (2012) they had only over seeded the fairways the rough was dormant in keys places which gave very poor lies or no chance for ball to stop before entering the desert. Greens were slower than other Scottsdale courses played on this trip.
In comparison to my previous visit it was a disappointment. I regretted suggesting it to my friends.
Awesome . I do like this course very much.
This is the frist time me and my wife come to Phoneix.
We both love playing golf. The SunRigde golf Canyon
give us the total difference experience of playing golf,
We have make the right decision . Hopefully will come again.
Fair but not at this price
The course was ok...for how much they are asking for I would be expecting more. Main thing was that the greens had issues...
