SunRidge Canyon Golf Club

About
SunRidge Canyon Golf Club provides adventure amid natural terrain over 6,823 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.

Waste of Money
The fairways are chewed up alot of winter kill and hot spots. We had to play lift, clean and place in the fairways. The worst part of my experience was the fact that greens are cut with 4 pre cut holes. They have cap the 3 unused holes with a plastic cover that sits an 1/2 to 3/4 inch below the hole. It looks like they cut the holes sometime in November 2022. All the holes are concave and collapsed around the edges. There are far better courses in the area. Not even worth getting out of the car.
Great layout, summer conditions
First time playing there. Great course, layout and views. Course conditions were a little rough. I know it’s summer and it’s hot but it was worse than a lot of other courses right now.
Nice course. Would play again
Only complaint is the cut of the previous hole/pin was terribly filled. Basically a mortar round in the green. Only on a few holes. Otherwise nice track
Always a pleasure to play at Sunridge Canyon
Always a pleasure to play at Sunridge Canyon . The food is excellent the course is always in great shape pace of play was fantastic the views are breathtaking love to play there I only play there twice a year I recommend this golf course to anyone but no beginners please .
Phenomenal.
What a cool course! Elevation changes with water features & awesome views. Bring extra balls & be prepared for a few long par 3’s (one was over 235 yards). For playing in the summer, the greens were pretty good.. maybe a little furry but they were nice & soft which can be hard to find in the summer. Altogether, if you’re willing to drive out there, it’s a great course.
Good layout
Really good layout. I am sure this course is usually in good shape, just not currently. Fairways are toasted, thin and soaking wet. The greens were heavily verti-cut recently and in general, pretty poor. Pace of play was just AWFUL!! I would play it again just simply for the layout, only after it recovers tho.
Love the Course!
Sunridege Cayon GC had incredible views! Loved the layout! Course was a little dry but it is a desert. Will go back to play again!
Mothers Day play
Great layout. And the course was in good condition considering the heat.
We went out first tee time if the day and had the course to ourselves. Finished in 3 hours a
Will Go Back!
That was the first time playing the course! Incredible views! I liked the layout! I like fast greens and these greens did not let me down! I will recommend this course to friends!
Challenging if you are not familiar with this course
The green fee was high but as a new resident of Fountain Hills, I wanted to try out this course. Staff did not seem that interested. Maybe they are only friendly to members.
We had to wait at every hole for the group in front of us to clear, yet the ranger made it seem that it was us that caused the delay.
Course was scenic but has a lot of blind shots and waste areas you cannot see until you get to them and realize you just lost your ball. Frustrating.
Greens were not rolling true and a bit bumpy.
Overall a disappointing experience considering the money spent.
