SunRidge Canyon is a public course in Fountain Hills, in the ridges and washes of the McDowell Mountains on the eastern edge of Scottsdale. Its reputation rests on one stretch: the Wicked 6, the six closing holes that climb back up the canyon into the prevailing breeze. Keith Foster designed it, it hosted the 1997 USGA Team Championship and the 2014 PGA Club Professional Championship of Canada, and it appears on Golfweek and GOLF Magazine lists of Arizona’s best courses you can play.
SunRidge Canyon Golf Club green fees and tee times.
Book online or through the course app, or call 480-837-5100. The club’s policy page says public tee times open 90 days ahead and need a credit card, with a 48-hour cancellation window and check-in 15 minutes before your time. If the time you want is gone, the app has a waitlist that alerts you if a slot opens. No public rate card is posted. The 2026–27 Players Card costs US$199 plus tax, gives the lowest daily rate and a five-day window, and lets guests play at the card rate plus US$10. Arizona residents book on a separate resident tee sheet.
The round, in perspective.
Foster’s par 71 measures 7,002 yards from the back, according to the club’s history page. The routing falls gently away from the clubhouse on the front nine and returns uphill on the back, so the last holes play longer than the card suggests. The Wicked 6 holds two par 5s, two par 4s and two par 3s, and every hole except the short ones climbs. The 13th has a lake right and a raised green; the 14th drops from tees cut into the canyon wall to a green with water all down its right. The 16th’s third shot plays to an elevated punch-bowl green, and the 17th switches daily between two tees aimed at either side of a shared green. The dogleg-left 18th climbs past deep bunkers to a sharply raised green, and the club suggests an extra club or two for the approach.

Make the trip work.
The range is only for annual pass holders and that day’s players, so arrive early to warm up. Callaway rental sets cost US$80 and must be reserved by phone. If you ship clubs with Ship Sticks, the club charges a one-off US$15 handling fee. The club warns it has no lightning detection system, which matters during the July to September monsoon. The Wicked Six Bar and Grill is a modern American taphouse with burgers, sandwiches and wood-fired pizza, and it posts a live-music calendar. Cool Clubs runs an indoor and outdoor fitting centre on site.
Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX) is about 30 miles south-west; allow 40 to 50 minutes via the Loop 202 and Shea Boulevard or the Beeline Highway. The club is at 13100 North Sunridge Drive, Fountain Hills. There is no practical public transport.
ADERO Scottsdale, an Autograph Collection resort just up the hill, is the hotel SunRidge links to as its lodging partner, and Fountain Hills is a designated International Dark Sky Community, so evenings suit stargazing. Fountain Hills has smaller hotels and restaurants around its central park. The resort hotels around Scottsdale Road are about 30 minutes west.
Make a trip of it.
Eagle Mountain, also in Fountain Hills, is about ten minutes away, and We-Ko-Pa’s Saguaro and Cholla courses at Fort McDowell are around 15 minutes east. McDowell Mountain is about 25 minutes west. In town, the fountain in Fountain Park, once among the tallest in the world, sprays on the hour, and the Verde and Salt Rivers offer kayaking and tubing a short drive away.
Find your season.
Players Card rates peak from February to March, at US$150 to US$160 for cardholders, which tells you when demand is highest. Card play in June and July is listed for Thursdays to Sundays only, so check summer opening days before booking. The card year runs from October to July.
It is the club’s name for holes 13 to 18: two par 5s, two par 4s and two par 3s. All but the par 3s play uphill, often into the wind blowing down the canyon. The club suggests choosing your tees with these holes in mind.
How far ahead can I book SunRidge Canyon?
The policy page says 90 days, with a credit card required and charges for cancelling within 48 hours. The tee-time page mentions booking up to a year ahead, so call the shop if you need a time further out.
Is there a practice range at SunRidge Canyon?
Yes, but it is not open to the public on its own. You can use it on the day you play, and annual pass holders can use it at any time. There are no range-only passes.
How long is SunRidge Canyon?
The club’s history page gives 7,002 yards, par 71, while its home page quotes 6,823 yards. The difference is likely which tees are counted, so check the scorecard when you book.
