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.

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

Bunkers

For $185 I would expect there to be rakes in the bunkers. Many were missing. Also, the sand was like cement--very packed down and no margin of error for the club. Other than that it was great. But again, for that kind of green fee, it could have been much better.

Challenging....but fun!

Sunridge Canyon never disappoints. You know what you're up against when you get there, and it delivers. This is not an easy course!. World class views of the surrounding canyon mountains, beautifully landscaped, great practice driving range area. Course was in very good shape for early July.

Keep your drives straight and you'll score well, if not, it can be a tough round.. Greens are fast, and there are some hidden undulations, but again, this isn't a beginner's course. This is a course you need to play to get a feel for it, then play it again to score well...Definitely put this course on your must play list when visiting Scottsdale or Fountain Hills!!
