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.

First time on Gold Course

I have played WigWam a couple of times when I lived closer. This is the first time I have played the Gold course and found it to be in good shape with very fast greens. There were a couple of things that made the course less attractive. The water feature on hole two was almost drained and there were a couple of holes that had some severely overgrown area's near greens. Overall the course was in really good shape and fun to play.

Welcomed by everyone but one

Had a great time through my round. The shop was stacked with great selection and fairly priced. The rate to play 18 holes was incredible. The only bad part about the course/play was how the gentlemen guiding us into tee 1 rushed us, kind of messed with everyone for the first three holes. Also made snide remarks about our play after we drove off first tee. Other than one rude employee i thoughrely enjoyed this course.

Pathetic

The slowest pace of play I’ve ever seen. I am 27 years old and have played the game for 20 years. It was embarrassing to play such a poorly managed 6 hour round. This course is better than the staff allows it to be. Get better

I like playing the gold course because of its layout. The course has been in much better condition than yesterday. The rough was especially in poor condition.

Good course, slow play

Overall the course was in good shape and looked the layout. Good amenities. Play was very slow, 30 min. behind and forced sharing of carts which I get but most courses let a single ride alone which helps pace of play so just a preference when I select a course. Plus you might get paired with a major chain smoker and very slooow cart driver, or worse.

Wigwam Gold - 5/30/2023

Really nice course in good shape. A few bald patches on some fairways, but to be expected in Phoenix, and really not that bad. Otherwise, from tee to green, it was a delight to play essentially a parkland course in the desert.

Had a group of 4 ahead of us who were a little slow. Bear in mind I was playing with an 80+ year old vet, to give an indication of how slow the group were. We still finished in less than 4 hours, which some would argue is reasonable, but we still had to wait on virtually every tee.

Pro Shop is not well signposted, and is unfortunately hidden away but once you get through to the main area, everything is clearly laid out and marked.
