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.

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

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.

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.

Went down hill

Conditions are rough for prime season. Greens are dry as a bone and still have winter cups. Why can't they just cut holes? For the price play McDowell mountain or really any other. Disappointed and won't be back
