SunRidge Canyon
One of the town's most desirable locations, SunRidge Canyon in Fountain Hills is a master- planned community which consists of 789 single family homes that was developed in 1996 and is situated on the eastern side of the McDowell Mountains. The mountainous beauty that surrounds SunRidge Canyon serves as a natural barrier, which protects it from over-development and preserves its close-knit, small-town feel.
The homes range in price from $300,000 up to over $1,000,000. There are 15 individual neighborhoods within the planned community all built around the renowned SunRidge Canyon Golf Course, with Solitude and Shadow Canyon being the only two which are gated. Many the homes were built by Golden Heritage, Del Mar, Edmunds, and Greystone and offer beautiful views of the natural wonders surrounding them, including a glimpse of the McDowell Mountains, Red Mountain, Superstitions, and Four Peaks. SunRidge Canyon is just a 45-minute drive from Phoenix, and the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is approximately a 30-minute drive making it quite accessible for either commuters or visitors.

SunRidge Canyon Amenities
The Sunridge Canyon Golf Club is one of the amenities located in the Fountain Hills community of SunRidge Canyon. The golf course designed by the skilled golf architect Keith Foster in 1995 covers a stretch of 6,823- yard and is a par-71. The splendor and challenge of its golfing experience have earned it recognition both regionally and nationally. The final six holes are appropriately dubbed the "Wicked Six" for their ascending climb up the canyon and the wicked wind that normally blows against golfers, setting you up for an unpredicted finish. Golf magazine also ranked it #42 in the top 100 golf courses in the United States and it was also the venue of the USGA state team championship in 1997. The golf course also offers a broad range of services to its visitors such as golf training and practice, rental clubs, foods, and beverages, hosting events and catering,
