“Since
purchasing the club in 2010, our owners and team have made numerous enhancements
and renovations to the golf course, practice facilities and clubhouse here
at SunRidge Canyon,” said Wes Neal, head golf professional. “Our team is
committed to making SunRidge Canyon one of the finest golf, instruction
and dining experiences in the Southwest. Everything we do is with this
first-class goal in mind.”
Recent
course renovations have improved the playability and agronomic conditions
at SunRidge Canyon. The club’s final six holes, known as “The Wicked 6,”
are widely considered one of the best final stretches of golf in the country.
In
addition, SunRidge Canyon is proud to add Executive Chef/F&B Manager
Diana Alfaro-Skidmore to their leadership team. Alfaro-Skidmore has more
than 20 years of culinary experience.
“Diana
brings instant excellence to our team,” said Kris Starr, director of operations,
SunRidge Canyon Golf Club. “She has recently created a new dining club
referred to as the ‘Cork & Fork’ and is making an immediate creative
impact on the SunRidge Canyon dining experience.”
About
SunRidge Canyon
Golf
at SunRidge Canyon is an adventure, where nature plays a profound role
in establishing the layout among the ridges in Fountain Hills in some of
the most picturesque and dramatic stretches of natural land in the Sonoran
Desert. Nestled between the canyon walls and foothills of the McDowell
Mountains, on the edge of Scottsdale, this Keith Foster-layout features
scenic elevation changes, bold design features and natural beauty that
is simply awe-inspiring. From its beginning and all the way through the
signature “Wicked 6” stretch of finishing holes, it’s no wonder why SunRidge
