Wigwam Resort - Gold Course

This is my first time playing any of the Wigwam courses and I found it pleasant. Don't be in a rush when playing, especially for a Friday afternoon tee time. Course is fun and challenging, mainly because of the elevated and unforgiving greens. And conditions of the greens were a bit under whelming, but I am told the snowbirds tend to leave them quite thrashed.

wigwam is istill a very well run golf facility. . the course was in great condition, our pace of play couldn't have been much better as my two-some finished the front 9 in just over and hour. the back slowed slightly, but we finished our round in 3 hours and a little bit. 2 beefs-the practice range with bumpy golf mats and lack of sand(little to none) in the traps. like hitting off dirt. we are in a desert, no? is there a shortage of sand? these courses have been getting "primo" prices over the past few months. hard to imagine it was a cost factor, but i'm not in management, so what do i know. over all, we had a really nice experience.

Terrible, on all levels. Overpriced. Boring courses. Not good conditions. Worst value for the price I’ve ever experienced in my life. Never going back there.

We paid an outrageous amount for a poor experience.

We had a 10:32 tee time and arrived 45 minutes early. The range was in poor condition. Worn out mats and a lot of dirt that should have been grass. We arrived at the Blue Course starter station 10 minutes early and were paired with two season members. The starter advised that the groups ahead of us were girls on the University of Minnesota play a practice round. He said they hit the ball long and were waiting to hit the green (par5) in two.

So we waited for them to clear be fore we hit. We waited to hit on literally every single shot for the rest of the round. They were playing two tee shots each on all of the par threes. The member left after three holes due to the extremely slow play. We were stuck because we had paid for the round. The course itself was in terrible condition. Fairways were extremely wet and muddy. The lay out on sixteen makes no sense and runs alongside the members practice range, so watch out for balls coming at you. It was and expensive horrible experience. I will never go back!

First time playing Wigwam. Staff was great.!! Course was in very good shape. Trent Jones greens were tough.!

I’ll play here again.

Was excited to play the Gold Course. Never played any of the courses at Wigwam but heard the gold was best. Was able to get what I figured was a steal of a price for a Sunday late morning, $70, a couple days in advance so I booked it. After playing, $70 is the most I’d ever pay to play here again. Starting with the good; the course layout was good. Very strategically placed bunkers that force you to hit good shots if you want a birdie putt. However, several of the greens were in terrible shape. Basically big areas of construction not marked as ground under repair. Like sink holes on the green with no grass and just dirt. Like a dried out muni course. Thankfully pin placement was not next to them however, it is in the way if you’re trying to land your shot in that area to spin it back or roll it up. A few of the tee boxes were basically bunkers. Just beat to a pulp in un-repaired divots and just mass amounts of sand all over the place. Same goes for the range. Rough shape; especially for this time of the year. Pace of play was running behind but not terribly slow considering that no ranger/marshall/players assistant was out there at all on a Sunday afternoon! It’s not worth the normal price they’re charging. If you can get it at a steal, then it may be worth it but it’s my own fault for setting my expectations high for how spoken up this place was. Pretty bland…

Well taken care of!! Play the Gold, it won't disappoint, and just when you think you have this track figured out, it will eat you up!!

Loved the course, immaculate greens and perfectly cut fairways. Pace of play slowed down from the second hole and the round took 4 3/4 hours. ( ( Not as bad as it could have been since I think the weather sent some groups in to the clubhouse later in the day.)

There were some no shows and threesomes - so I think it could have been worse. We took a discounted start time at 2:16 and just barely finished ( almost in the dark!)

We would definite do it again.

Great layout, not punishing. Great conditions,bunkers could use more sand. Great value.
