Length 7345 yards
Slope 137
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.

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.

The course was in good shape, but, my wife thought the fairways were cut a little short, but, that is her preference.

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

Great round

The course was in great shape, the staff was friendly at the clubhouse and the starter. There was an issue with another player on the course, but we spoke with management and they handled it immediately. I will be playing this course in the future.

Great resort

Play wigwam every year while visiting. Far and wide one of the best priced fo the solid condition. Greens always fast fairways and rough is lush. Can’t say enough good things on the course. Gold course will play as long as you desire, elevated greens that are well protected by well manicured bunkers. A great challenge every time. This isn’t a standard desert course more like a traditional parkland. Lastly best proshop stock around always something nice to pickup.

Fantastic course - very disappointing reception

We are regulars at Wigwam - not members, but snowbirds who play here several times/week. We’ve been regulars for 5+ years. We bring friends and neighbors here too. The course is amazing and the amenities are too. Because of the parking lot logistics, I drop off the clubs and park, and my wife works with the staff to get our bags on carts etc. This past visit was not the normal experience, but it was horrible. Staff directed my wife to pick any cart she wanted and didn’t load the club for her. She did it herself. She always tips well for the help. But no help. No one offered to help us after our round either. No club cleaning, no help getting clubs to the bag drop.

Not sure what the issue is - trouble hiring staff, …??? We will try it one more time, and if things don’t change, then we will definitely take advantage of other courses in the area. Very disappointed!! Wanted to give 1 star, but we’ve received far better help in the past. So, generously hoping this was an anomaly.
