Wigwam Resort - Blue Course

Played the course in a bit over 4 hours then a late lunch at the restaurant. All in all a good time. Course is pretty nice and in good shape.

This is your typical resort course with high traffic and not exactly speedy play. Some fairways were showing spotty conditions for mid-April. Red’s restaurant is a pleasant 19th hole, especially if it’s not too hot and you can sit outside under one of the plentiful umbrellas. Main (only) Complaint: the beverage cart checked in with us as we were Leaving the First Tee at 9:50 am, and we never saw a beverage cart again! Simply inexcusable. That by itself is a reason to not return, and will be shared with my golfing friends. Get it together, “RESORT” course, because it sure didn’t feel like vacation in Arizona!

Staff and facilities were top notch. We played the Blue course and was pretty disappointed. Large areas of grass in the fairways and around greens were thin. Almost like hitting off hard packed dirt. Many wedge shots from 100-135 yards on crazy tight lies. Sand traps were hit and miss. Some were super low on sand in middle which made difficult bunker shots. We paid $100 for the round and considering the conditions it was not a good value. I have played many other courses in the area for less money and considerably better condition. I don’t know about the Gold or Red course, but don’t waste your money on the Blue course.

To start off, staff was awesome, facilities are top notch. No complaints here. However, the Blue course was less than impressive. Definitely not worth $100. Fairways and around greens had large areas of thin grass… almost bare. The course was super wet which made chip shots very difficult. I played course in the area for less money in far better shape. I will say the greens were pretty good. I would not recommend this course for $100.

Great property with 3 well maintained courses and excellent facilities.

A bit of an odd parking/check-in setup with the parking lot across the road and limited signage but we figured it out. Blue course was wide open the day we played and very forgiving off the tee for the most part. Challenge comes around the tiny, elevated greens which are defended handily by deep bunkers and crested edges, pulling marginal approach shots off onto the fringe.

Only complaint would be the layout, which is also confusing for first time visitors. The Blue course does not come anywhere near the clubhouse at the turn, and a few of the holes backtrack to the next tee and/or overlap the Gold course. Again, signage could be better.

Overall a great day at Wigwam. Will definitely be back!

The course was nice. The starter warned us about elevated greens, usually protected by sand. Pace of play was outstanding--4:00 exactly on a Friday, starting at 10:50am. Not much variety in the hole-to-hole layout--most had a dogleg, and the aforementioned elevated, protected green. The negatives were the sand (very hard, causing all of our clubs to bounce rather than cut through), and the price. Even a Hot Deal made it $30 more expensive than other area courses I've played (Coldwater, Palm Valley), and it wasn't worth the extra $30. With so many options, that is the reason I wouldn't recommend it to friends. Nice course, and challenging, but if there's that much sand, it has to be more playable.
