Rating 75.0

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.

Slow play but great course

This was not a desert course so the greens, fairways, and roughs were all grass and in great shape. Played the golf course in afternoon and barely got done by dark. Play was in the 4:30 range.

First time on the Wigwam Gold Course

A decent value with the Golf Now Hot Deal. Not a $200 value. Greens were firm, leaving shallow, small indents which were difficult to repair due to extreme hard packed soil underneath. Bunkers were ok compared to 7 other area golf courses I’ve played this month. Fairways were patchy. Lots of water standing in any low area on the course; I guess water is not an issue here. Hoping that time will improve conditions. Playing the Gold Course again in Feb. BTW, I need to mention pace of play! On the back side we were able to see the group holding up play. WE WAITED ON EVERY SHOT - ALL DAY! The group 2 tee times in front of us was a par 5 and a par 4 behind!! Where was the course Marshall?! And they were all in golf carts! IMHO, “Grow the Game” should mean play with proper golf course etiquette, not “anything goes”! For instance, park golf cart in back of green (don’t casually amble back to cart which you’ve left parked in front of the green), don’t sit in cart waiting for your cart partner to hit and then drive 10-20 yards, slowly get out, take another 1-2 minutes to hit your shot (perhaps a wild miss sideways), slowly get in cart and drive another short distance and repeat the painfully slow preshot routine, putt out for a triple bogey or worse!, rake bunkers, repair even shallow ball marks (repair yours and another), keep up with the group in front of you, etc. Thanks for listening.

I am visiting the area as a guest from out of town. Since my arrival I've played wigwam gold twice and blue once. Christy in the pro shop was very welcoming each day and remembered me as a returning guest. Great service from all staff.

Great course layout…greens unexpectedly slow

I love the design/layout. Plays shorter than the yardage as hitting fairways was rewarded with nice rollout. Pins were diabolical on a number of greens. Perhaps because the Patriot All-American event was just a few days off. That said, greens looked closely cut, but were very slow so rated course conditions as 4*.

As a new golfer it’s pretty challenging but you’ll enjoy the long drive holes.

Great Place for Golf

Greens were tight and fairly quick. Rough was a little long making it slightly more difficult. Overall the course is in fantastic shape!

Simple and traditional style course

Somewhat Midwest style course- not a desert style course- fairly flat and minimal hazards and easier than expected to play from men’s tees

Trash Course

This course was complete trash. Typically, when you book, they will warn you of conditions, overseeding, cart path etc. Not here

The course was in terrible condition.

I've played all over the place and this by far is one of the worst courses I have ever played. Paid like $75, this is maybe a $30 course.

Wow

This course has been on my to do list for some time and I finally got out to play the golf course this past weekend. The fairways were great, the greens were receptive & true, and the bunkers were a joy to play from. Overall a great experience and I will be back.

Sunday

The course was just over seeded.

Fairways were green

Putting surfaces were slow, but very nice.

Great for post overseed

Played right after overseed. Nice course, just long fairways, and long slow greens. To be expected after overseed, but this slowed up play a lot since it was cart path only. I played for $60 in these conditions so I feel that was fair. If it was any more I’d say it wasn’t worth it.

Would like to see this track again in about a month.

Decent not great

It is just ok... definitely needs some TLC. Obviously during over seed season you can't expect everything to be great but I'm not sure it's that great after over-seed season. I'll give it another try in the future.

Looking forward to coming back

I've been playing in Arizona for 15 years and never played the WigWam before. Definitely a nice surprise. The course has an older feel - mature, but very well maintained - not at all "tired" like so many of the older courses out here. We played "gold" - the longest course but played at the shorter tees (red), and it was a good length for us. Lots of staff - a starter and ranger on each of the 3 courses (red, blue, gold), plenty of help by the carts, in the club house, and in the restaurant. Cart girls were attentive. I only wish the course was a little closer to my house!

Championship Course

Longer than Red & Blue, this course requires good course management.

Played the Championship Tees.

Small, contoured greens. Great time!

3:15, round complete.

Thanks to all at Wigwam!

Gold it isn't

Hard bunkers with limited sand, sparce rough (if you can call it that), good course if you want to swing hard and chase your ball without caring where it goes. GPS provided is ancient and limited, will not provide you with green views. Not typical for a good resort to have a poor course. Got a good rate, so acceptable.
