Rating 72.0

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

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
