Golf Course Description

This scenic desert links-style course features numerous elevation changes in a canyon setting. Accuracy is foremost on this course’s rolling fairways surrounded by desert. Strategically placed arroyos provide a good test of golfer’s shotmaking skills from the tees, as well as approaching the greens. The greens are medium-sized and undulating. Water hazards, in the form of ponds, come into play on four holes. The signature hole is #17, a 209-yard, par 3, featuring a segmented green that is guarded by large boulders on both sides. “GOLF Magazine” rated this course 42nd best under the 1996 category of the “Top 100 Courses You Can Play in the U.S.” The 6,004-yard men’s tee also has a ladies’ course rating of 75.2 and a slope of 141.

SunRidge Canyon’s 6,823-yard, par-71, Keith Foster-designed golf course unfolds around the rugged ridges and shady canyons unique to the desert mountains that divide Fountain Hills from Scottsdale, Arizona. This Scottsdale golf course gradually descends on the way out before doubling back to climb up the slope on the way in. This subtle elevation change lies at the heart of the dramatic golf experience at SunRidge Canyon.

Golfers also discover that it wasn’t so much created by a bulldozer as it was carved out over eons by the relentless pressure of wind and water. Foster had the good sense to follow Mother Nature’s lead, and in the end, the beauty and challenge of SunRidge Canyon is unlike any other desert golf experience in the Valley of the Sun.
