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.

Spectacular Service!!

It was rainy and a slow day, so no cart-service. We were told so before we went out. Staff members took our order over the phone and brought it to us on the course. Won't find that over-the-top service in too many places.

Course was in great condition for the season.

Not so Wicked

Mix of really good holes, combined with some moderately good holes, and unfortunately you encounter some really bad holes. If you are all about the "one" or "two" hero shots that you just might hit to a semi-ridiculous blind landing area, or to a pin that no player who is counting strokes would ever aim for......then this course will not disappoint.

There are 6 good holes, 6 really good holes, and then 6 disappointing holes.

The 6 really good holes were #2, #6, #8, #12, #17 and #18. The par-3's on this course are great! From the tips they are challenging, require thought and well executed shots. A miss hit shot will still leave you w/ an opportunity to get up and down for par.

The good holes are average with some component that leaves you wanting something a little different either from the tee (awkward line of sight or ball flight, and/or landing area) or on the approach to the green (options for shot selection being very limited).

Overall the course truly is fun to play and you will find it interesting.

But........it is hard to overlook the disappointing holes; #1, #3, #9, #11, #13 and #16. #13 and #16 were disappointing due to hype of the "Wicked 6" that did not match on "Wicked" . Maybe they should call it the "Wicked 4" and the "Ridiculous 2"? Ridiculous due to the line of flight you should be selecting on a blind tee shots and green complexes that were a little too tricked out (the windmill and clowns mouth were missing). #1 is well suited for a 4-man scramble but, if you are keeping your own score the risk/reward doesn't really make much sense. From the tips on #1, a 6-iron off the tee, a sand wedge to the green, and a 10-foot birdie to start my round left me wondering what other course design disappointments lay ahead. I was pleasantly surprised that there are 12-holes that perform well.

Although overall the course has some great par-3's and some interesting holes to play, there are too many other superior courses (design and condition) within 10 minutes of this course that charge similar green fees.....and therefore there is little left to motivate me to play here again.

Very cool place!!!

This is a MUST PLAY if you are in the Phoenix area during the warm months....the course is kept in excellent shape....very VERY tough golf course...and the "WICKED SIX" are just that....I made it through them at 2 over....for a 9 hdcp? not too bad...we got chased off the course by Thundershowers for an hour and a half. We went in to the clubhouse and had lunch...the staff was the best and most hospitible at any course I have ever played...pro shop was great. General manager...all the way down to waitstaff! Thank you for making my day exactly what I was looking for! Go play it!

Beautiful Desert Course

This is one of the most beautiful golf courses I've played. It was good value for the money with summer rates in effect. I cannot afford to play it in the winter months.
