Sunridge is 25 minutes east of downtown Scottsdale and 10 miles east of the 101 Freeway off Shea.

The golf course is within a residential development in the Sonoran desert with fairways traversing through steep canyon walls. It's a straightforward layout with strategic fairway and green-side sand bunkers and a few risk/reward, heroic opportunities and features #17, widely considered to be the best par 3 in the valley of the Sun. The terrain is rolling and the fairways are mounded and sloping leading to large greens with minor undulations. There's frequent forced carries over desert areas although the landing areas are quite generous. The course starts slow but builds throughout the round as the fairways weave through box canyons and over and around arroyos on approach to greens surrounded by desert vegetation. It was designed by Keith Foster and plays to 6,823 yards from the tips, 72.6/142, course/slope ratings with four shorter tees.
