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.

Nice layout but tricky

Tough layout with very tricky sloped greens.. any two put on these green is a big win..
Fairways also slope severely so take careful aim..

Tough track for sure..

This is a beautiful course winding through the natural canyon terrain. The course has many undulations and uneven lies. The hardest part of this course, IMO , are the tiered slopping greens.
I play to a 14+ hdcp and this was a difficult play.
Staff was great.

Nice Course But Not Worth $300 per person

Very nice layout. Best holes are the last 6. Compared to other courses we played in the area, we were disappointed with the course for the amount of money we paid to play! We would recommend the course to friends, but only if they could get a reasonable rate. We were also stuck behind a bachelor party of 7 slow, loud and very drunk young men who were blaring music which was not enjoyable for us. Wont play it again if we return to Scottsdale.

Great desert layout, poor condition for the price.

Great layout, trademark desert golf. Friendly staff. Not worth $300 compared to other desert options by course condition. Spend an extra $50 to play Boulders, Quintero, or others. This place is a good value in the warmer months and you can get on sub $100.

Great course with interesting layout

Great course. Not a long one but challenging on the back-9 if you are playing for the first time. Fairways are in great shape. So were tee boxes and greens rolling good.

Staff were OK. They pushed me to start 20 min before my tee time, although turned out to be good as I played with a 2-some couple that were very friendly. It's at least worth $50-60 lesser than the rate I paid.

New course and new challenges

It was my first time playing this course. They just allowed carts on the fairways which was helpful for pace of play. Fairways were great but there was little roll out because of the newly seeded fairways. It is imperative to stay out of the desert or it will cost you a stroke. Greens were in great condition as well. Lots of undulations. It is a course I want to play again

First time at SunRidge Canyon

Practice facility was good - no mats. Staff was helpful and supportive. Pace of play was great initially but we encountered some delays. The course and greens were in great condition. A couple greens had some repairs. The views from the course are amazing.

Nice Course and Clubhouse

Great course…

Only issue was Marshall suggested we were behind by two minutes while we were repeatedly waiting on the group in front of us…

Course was just recovering from punched greens, but they were in reasonable shape…. Traps were a bit thin on sand, Otherwise, I’d play here again…

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.
