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.

GOLD COURSE IS A BEAST!!

Best select the right Tee Box for your game. This course plays long, even from the Forward Tees.

Well maintained course, going back soon to play the Blue course. They also have a Red course too.

Slow Greens

This was my first time playing the Gold course at the Wigwam. I liked the layout, the tee's and fairways we're in great shape...the greens looked good but very disappointing in the fact that they we're very slow! Any decent player will tell you that if anything , please give us fast greens! We can deal with just ok tee's and fairways but the greens , please give us nice fast greens! IMO it took the fire right out of the course

Needs work

Greens were slowwwwwww. Pace of play was dreadful. 5 hour round for a 9:30 am summer tee time is not good. Said they had a computer glitch and double booked some times? This place used to be better. The people are great. The course is overrated in my opinion and I probably won’t play the gold course again. Red course is the better course for value and condition.

Nice track

The Gold Course was fun. The course needs a few weeks to really turn over to summer grass. In the meantime it is still a great test, long, decent bunkers and tricky greens. I will go back.

Great Course...Highly Recommend

This was my first time playing the Gold course. Overall it was not that difficult but we played from one of the forward tees, It probably gets much tougher from the tips. I liked how some of the holes looked easy initially but they had their subtle difficulties if you were not paying attention. Will play there again and highly recommend

Course needs maintenance.

I expect more from the Gold course at the Wigwam. Many bare spots in fairways and on greens. Lakes very low and no putting greens open. Staff very friendly, but did not give us any warning of course conditions. Also, many bushes and trees in need of trimming. Very disappointed in condition and hope improvements are made this summer.

Well designed, greens a little rough shape

Great layout. Caught the course before the bermuda grass kicked in, so it is in transition. It will be nicer in a few weeks.

Never again

For being highiy recommended it was very disappointing. The fairways were without much grass and the greens were extremely slow. The rough was also very poor.

Forgotten items

Great course. But don't forget any of your belongings. Played in the middle of may, forgot my $200 range finder in the cart. Called a week later when I had realized that I had forgotten it talked to a staff member that said they had it and took down my name and number: decided not to go pick it up because I knew in a few days I would be back to play. Show up for my round and my range finder is nowhere to be found and I was told "well someone else must have had one the same color." I get it's my fault for leaving it but when one person tells me it's there and another tells me I'm out of luck is disappointing.

Wigwam staff and amenities are superb, but Gold course was very disappointing. This is supposed to be the championship course of the 3 on the property. Several of the greens had bare spots and we're not in the hottest part of the year yet.
