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.

Disappointing Conditions

I’ve played this course 30 times and for the time of year, maybe the worst shape I’ve seen it in at least going back a decade. Greens are usually pristine but now very splotchy, Playable still but not up to the usual standard. The rough around the greens is fine but the Bermuda that encompasses most of course is dead. Not dormant, dead. Fairways also look terrible. Bermuda is hardy so could come back but I’m afraid they may have lost it. For peak season and peak rates, the conditions are unacceptable. The best layout in the valley but this course needs serious work.

Challenging Course

Sunridge Canyon is an absolutely gorgeous layout.

I always try to book a round here when I come to Scottsdale to golf.

The course was in great condition and the greens were running very true and at a fair speed. The day was completely booked, yet the ranger maintained a good pace of play. We only had to wait on one par three. Many very challenging holes demand distance and accuracy. Bring your A game.

Not for $200+

It’s a good course but overpriced in my opinion. When paying north of $200 I expect premium everywhere. It’s nit picky, but 2/3 bunkers I was in had very little sand before compacted or very hard surface underneath making a standard bunker shot impossible. Super frustrating.

Other than that it was an enjoyable day. Very difficult course from any tee. Lots of target golf and strategy required. Blind tee shots where you can’t see the landing area. Greens were very quick compared to the standard courses around the valley.

Personally I won’t be back until the prices are reasonable, but it’s a good course.

Top notch

If you’re looking for challenging golf on a well manicured great layout, Sunridge Canyon is for you. Last six holes, properly named “the wicked six“, are a challenge for the lowest of handicappers. (Especially from the tips!) You will not be disappointed, and I found the experience to be worth every penny. I will come back every time I visit Arizona .

SunRidge Canyon

Overall the course was in good condition. Some of the greens particularly on the front nine were rough and therefore inconsistent. The greens speed was good.

Sun Ridge always fun

Good round today on a challenging track. Post over seeding so cart path only but still a decent pace. Somewhat pricey but everything in town is now!

One of the better courses in the Phoenix area.

Great layout- disappointing conditions

Course was recently over seeded and was very soft. The lay out as always was great. But t the course was 100% cart part only. Which makes for a difficult day.
