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
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...
TLC needed
I've played this course in past years and was looking forward to playinng it again. Unfortunately it is not in good condition right now including fairways and greens. The course conditions in no way compare to other courses I've played in the last few weeks. The back nine are magnificent holes. I'd certainly recommend the course once it comes up to par with its condition.
Great track. Difficult par 4's on back side
Highly recommend. Great shape.Will play again. One of the better courses in the valley I have played.
Very nice layout.
They have a cart shortage. Supposed to start at 1:08 and finally got a cart at 1:25. As sunset is at 5:10, already behind schedule. Course is in transition to winter grass and I understand that they need to keep the grass a little longer......
Fairways grass was long (always grass between the club face and the ball at impact) and the greens were a bit bumpy and slow (8 to 8.5 is my estimate). I would wait until they can mow the fairways and greens closer before returning. Some striking vistas and beautifully designed holes. I'll play there again when the greens are faster.
super fun layout. difficult, but not outrageous. super nice conditions.
I would recommend SunRidge Canyon to anyone. It was an excellent experience. Good golf and spectacular views.
Too much course for the mid to high handicapper, slow play almost always ruins the round at this course.
Have played the course many times for its challange. Last year vowed never to play again after a 5+ hour round. This time was no different. Tee'd off on time and our foursome caught the group ahead on the thrid hole and waited on every single hole after. At one point there were 4 groups on a single hole. The rangers smile and give excuses such as "we had a group of 20 go out this morning" as though a full tee sheet equals slow play.
Good course but not good enough to spend over 5 hours every time we play it--we won't be back.
Excellent overall experience.
The entire staff from outside services, pro shop, starter, and on-course cart staff go out of their way to treat you like a member. The course is challenging, especially the Wicked Six. Not only is it a challenge of your shot making skills, but also to your ability to concentrate for 18 holes. Let up for one minute and a great round can take a quick turn. Love this course!
Great course. Challenging, Especially the back 9
Course is worth the drive. Quite pretty, excellent lay out. Good practice facilities. The back 9 is suppose to be tough...and it is. Uphill and challenging. The course is in great shape.
A great Arizona course if you want elevation change, vistas, cactus and golf - Loved it.
Played the course while in Phoenix for a convention (Nov 2). It had just gone thru its overseeding so the golf was cart paths only, but the course was coming along great, the fairways great. The greens had some time to go, but by mid November I'm sure they will be fanitastic.
Loved the layout, and the "wicked six" finishing holes are a great uphill climb to the beers that await in the clubhouse!
The Wicked 6 were definitely that. Enjoyed the day.
Awesome views great course. I would play it again. Good challenge.
Great views! Challenging
Thoroughly enjoyed my experience there! Staff was excellent. Course has great scenery and fun to play! Can't wait to go back to play again!
Nice desert course
A challenging desert course. Some great views. Cart path only when we played made it more difficult.
Course has interesting and challenging holes with variable difficulty
We played the day before overseeding and the course should not have even been open. We paid $66 to play a course that was in poor shape. We did like the layout and if in good condition would have presented challenges. However the conditions were so poor it ruined what would have been a fun round. I would recommend that if a course is this close to overseeding that it be posted and the rate reflect the course conditions.
Very scenic and challenging course, Great Value
Played this course with my brother on our trip to the Phoenix area. Couldn't believe how nice this course was compared to the ones we normally play for the money. The fairways and greens were in great condition and the scenery was spectacular The wicked 6 is accurately named but fun. I will say I've never been more tired after a round than I was this one. I guess from climbing to all the elevated tee boxes and hilly terrain took its toll.
