Wigwam Resort - Gold Course
About
The Gold Course is one of three 18-hole courses offered at the Wigwam Resort, which was named one of Golf Magazine's "Silver Medal Resorts." Golf Digest cited the Gold Course as one of the best public courses in the state. Mature trees are present on all of the courses, as well as winding creeks that create water hazards, which come into play on several holes. There are also strategically placed sand bunkers present on the course. The rolling landscape of the course causes elevation changes that can affect shots. The Wigwam Resort facility also has a putting green and chipping area.

Amazing course, moderately slow play though
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.
Best course for the money, in the valley.
Great layout, not punishing. Great conditions,bunkers could use more sand. Great value.
Challenging Gold course
Overall great challenge. Generous fairway THEN the greens show their teeth
Gold Course
Long for woman but very playable. Robert Trent Jones and his fairway bunkers…not a fan! Overall we will definitely go back!
Golf was great
We played the gold course. Everything was great from the oversees. The greens and the cart girls were top notch
Wigwam Golf Resort - Gold
I have nothing bad to say about my groups experience at Wigwam. It feels like a desert Oasis. I cannot speak for the red or blue course, I saw some greens and tee boxes and they looked good, but our round was on the Gold Course.
Check in was a breeze, they had great Merch and a wide selection of my favorite brands that looked sharp. Friendly staff from the ladies at check in to the snack bar to the starter and the bev cart. Snack Bar Side Note - the lady was nice and helpful, but I was off put when she asked if I’d like to enter a gratuity amount when I paid with my card. She handed me a bag of chips and a beer can. That is all.
Because I am the way I am, I said no pretty promptly, then pulled out a $1 bill and put it in the tip jar. I don’t think she appreciated the hard no, and I admit my $1 bill was passive aggressive, but I digress. I didn’t care for that last bit of our interaction.
The tees, fairways, rough, and greens were perfect. Bunkers were full of sand, not dirt. It was 75 degrees outside and no breeze. It was perfect golfing conditions. The hole variety was incredible on this course, and we played a 4 some at 11:30am Thursday in 3.5 hours with no one pushing behind us or any wait ahead of us.
18th hole was pretty special for me. 400 yard par 4. Drove it into the right fairway bunker. Hit a strong PW over the lip to 10 ft then nailed the birdie putt to finish the round. It was an incredible finish for me to an incredible day.
Don’t forget to tip your waitress… lol
Wigwam Gold Coursework
Very challenging layout wth fast greens, with many bunkers and water hazards. Pace of play was good and round was finished in less than 4 hours. Played here 4-5 times and staff is very helpful both on and off the course.
It’s on my go play list every time I’m in the Goodyear & Avondale area.
Gold Course
The course was in good shape, but, my wife thought the fairways were cut a little short, but, that is her preference.
Great course. Well maintained. Will definitely be playing here again.
Great day
Brought 2 threesomes out. Had a great afternoon. Course was beyond expectations and for the price an unreal deal. Play was slow but that was due to it being WM Open weekend.
At dinner at Refs afterward and had a great dinner and drinks.
Will definitely be returning.
Fun Tough Course
Had a 11:08 tee time. Pro shop couldn't find me because they moved my tee up to 11:00. Had my wife with me as a rider. Pro shop attendant said no riders because they only allow 2 carts per group and he had me in a foursome. No problem I understand. Ended up riding alone with another guy riding alone. Course is nice, greens are fast and tough. Pace of play was average. felt slow because we played as a twosome and we were waiting on every shot. Drainage channel runs through the course and pops up on you when you least expect it. Fun tough course. I'd like another shot at it.
crazy greens
Overall the course was in great shape but the greens are so over the top in undulation
that it made the round a lot less enjoyable maybe I'll try the red or blue course someday.
Unplayable Pin Positions
On multiple holes the Pin positions were on such side hill positions that they were unplayable. It was shameful. I touched one downhill put on #3 and it literally rolled right off the green into the bunker- ridiculous
