SunRidge Canyon Golf Club

ARCHITECT YARDAGE SLOPE/RATING Keith Foster Opened: 1995 6823 6403 6004 5141   140/73.4 - Tournament 133/70.8 - Back 128/68.7 - Middle 141/75.2 - Middle(W) 125/70.1- Forward(W)

Nestled between the canyon walls of the McDowell Mountain foothills, this course is expertly placed like the missing piece to a beautiful golf course puzzle that evolved over millions of years in the Sonoran Desert. Only its natural beauty rivals the drama that this course offers. Golf at SunRidge Canyon is a true "adventure" with pristine fairways rolling around strategically placed hazards to undulating greens, all the while allowing the desert to provide a natural border. The effect provides subtle changes to the topographical layout of the course.

From beginning to its incredible finish, SunRidge can compete with any course in the area (and far beyond) for its stunning panoramic views and pure measurement of your mental game and shot-making skills. The front nine begins at the upper mouth of the canyon and plays downhill in switch-back fashion to the canyon floor. Along the way, each shot demands careful consideration and must be weighed on it's risk/reward factors. Because the fairways are not parallel with each other, players enjoy a true sense of serenity and oneness with the golf course. However, don't let this tranquil desert setting fool you. This course's rare beauty tests every aspect of your game. It can be described simply in one word: "wow!!"
