SunRidge Canyon Golf Club

fun not for high handicap golfers. unless you want to loose lots of balks

I had not played this course for 5 years as the cost to play has been running very high for the past few years. It was my favorite course for 15 years over the past 20 years. I thought it ranked in the top 3-4 courses in all of the Phoenix Valley. It was challenging, it was unique, it was classy and it was well looked after.
This time around i was so disappointed with the general condition of the playing course and particularly the greens. They were poor for such a course and the prices they demand. Even the staff ranked the greens as poor when i asked what was up with the super poor/ damaged looking putting greens.
Many other areas were dry and the driving range looked like a moon landscape..
To who ever is running that course. you have the bones of an excellent track and location - time to do your job properly and get this gem polished up.
i was surprized to see there were many tee times that we not filled and very sparse that day at a time in the valley with baseball that all things are busy. I guess the word is out.
Sorry I have to say this about a place I loved.
DISSAPPOINTED

They up charge you for water fee upon payment / or you can walk for the fee / slim shady / layout is one of my favorite/ single ownership over the years is looking to squeeze to recoup is my guess - shame - greens needs help but under repair - the water fee the charge while the fairways are cement as well as traps are lite on sand so be prepared to blade the trap shots - true shame as one of the best tracks in the valley that I have played as a local for 20 plus years but has lost it’s way v fee they charge.
I don’t write reviews but the entire experience I welcome the board of one / ownership to reach out to me for a complete review of our experience.

The greens had many bare spots. The bare spots were covered with green colored sand. The fairways were also in rough shape. The bunkers also were also lacking sand.

Enjoyed the course and views. Front nine is basically downhill and back comes back up. Last six holes known as Wicked Six - fun stretch and not crazy hard.

I really like this course. Some of the greens were a bit damaged and not real consistent, but don’t let that stop you from playing there.
Wicked 6; gotta love those holes….18 destroyed my round….chipped short twice! Brutal. Haha.

For the money, (high season) not a lot of value here. Front nine conditioning left a little to be desired, back was in better shape for some reason, IMO. I would play it again but not for top dollar.

Even though this was so challenging it was gorgeous relaxing and it makes your game better. A great course.

Peak season in Arizona. Course was not cheap, but it was in great condition, facility is nice, and their people were great. We played in 4:10, which is a good pace for a premium course in peak season. Greens were in great shape and rolling well, probably at least a 12. Front 9 is generally down hill and with the wind. Back nine is generally uphill and into the prevailing winds. The last 6 holes are very appropriately named “The Wicked Six”. Beware!
