Wigwam Resort - Red Course

Go west young man ... was heard because it was believed that there was gold in California.

But actually, just stop in Phoenix area of Arizona and go to the west valley and you will find the gold, red & blue .

Wigwam golf resort has a gold, red & blue course that are always challenging and fun to experience.

The practice area & staff are always ready for your energy.

Bring it, shape it and play them all.

The Red (Heritage) is my favorite of the 3 courses. It has challenges for anyone, but isn't punishing. I enjoyed it at a 4 and now enjoy it at 16 handicap .

I plated the Red course. A bit of a cart ride. Played with 3 guys from Denver, had a great time. Sneaky long, great greens. Pave of place ok. No ranger. Cart gal didn’t take credit cards? No water on course. Other than that I’d recommend.

The grass in the rough was 6-8" long with big clumps of mulch. If you were not in the fairway, it was impossible to get a good shot. Not even a first cut - fairway or nothing! Seemed a bit ridiculous to not have better conditions for an $80 round.

Need to repaint your red line to get to and from the course.

Beverage cart was not available on front nine.

Driving range balls were quite muddy and hitting of mats.

Fairway length of grass was a bit long. (Probably due to recent over seeding).

The pace of play and quality of the greens offset the few negatives mentioned above.

I always love playing Wigwam. I specifically picked Red course today because it was supposed to be off cart path restriction (per GolfNow and phone call to course). Unfortunately when we checked in this morning the cart path restriction was still in place. Ended up getting my husband a handicap exemption half way through and it all worked out but more pleasant to play when you can drive out to your ball.

Fairways and greens are in great shape. The rough is way too long and grabby! Will play again in a couple of weeks.

I’ve played the Wigwam courses before and never felt satisfied. It has potential, but fairways and greens are in tough shape too often. I decided I would try it again after overseeing (who’s not in good shape right after overseed, right?). I tried, but still disappointed. The fairways and rough were close to the same length grass. We were having trouble finding balls in the fairways. Greens were hard and not holding. You would think with it being a resort course they would want it pristine, but no such luck. Like I said, I tried, but I don’t think I’ll try again…too many other better options.

The fairways needed to be cut as playing from them felt like the rough. The rough was especially long and difficult. Hard to find the ball in the rough. Cart path only so pace of play was brutal.

The marshalls were out, but they were not pushing the groups in front of us enough. We teed off 4.5 hours before dark, and didn't get the full round in. Do not expect pace of play in the afternoons to be 4 hours and under.

For the time of year, course was in great condition two weeks after opening post over seeding. Greens were a little slow but rolled true. Some very long par 4's and 5's even from the Orange Club tees. Hole 18 is difficult.

$50 on a weekday afternoon 2 weeks after overseed? Okay.

What doesn’t make sense why It takes almost 2 and a half hours to play 9. No Marshall, groups playing two tee times behind pace, while also playing tees their handicaps don’t match…To top it off, golf now says 90 degree, pro shop says 90degree, but the starter insists you play cart path only.

Quit after 9, went to the pro shop and let the people behind the desk know what’s going on and all I got was “yeah it’s been like that lately man”

Need to work on your operational excellence Wigwam

Open fairways but deceiving hard course. Some long holes. Bunkers are hard sand and not easy to hit out of. We played 2 days after opening after top seeding so course conditions were what you would expect. Enjoyed our day

Specifically says 90 degree rule on course listing in Golf Now. At the first tee we were told cart path only. When we said it said 90 degree on Golf Now the ranger laughed at us and just shook his head. Would not have played here if we knew this since it was 90 degrees out.

Started my round early morning and finished in about 3 hours. Had a great time. The greens were a little slow but the condition of the course was great. Will play this course again.

The course was in great condition. The pace of play was great until we got to the back nine then it slowed down to a crawl. However, we really enjoy the course and will definitely play it again soon.
