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- The Gold Course

Was not impressed with the upkeep of the course. Fairways and Tee box’s were very spotty a lot of dirt patches. Greens were good and rolled true. Cups looks like they hadn’t been cut in a couple days. Would not recommend. Will not go back.

Grass in terrible transition

The Gold Course at Wigwam has never been in this poor of a condition. The grass in all fairways has been almost lost during transition from winter rye to summer Bermuda. There was more dirt or dead grass than any healthy grass on every fairway.

Terrible condition!

This is a resort course in terrible condition. The fairways are void of grass. This is not just a overseed or time of year. They are just dirt!! Greens were ok. Have always like playing here but they need to close down a punch and reseed Reds bar was great

TERRIBLE CONDITION

I’ve been playing the Gold course for 30 years. It has never been this bad. Most fairways are down to the bare dirt. Greens are extremely crunchy and dried out. I’m saddened it has sunk to this condition.

Skip It!

Fairways have little to no grass....just hardpan....i played with 2 friends and we all could not believe how bad the fairways are....apparently overseed never came in or they just dont water them and the are dead...either way i would skip this course until it becomes playable again...greeens in good shape but good luck getting the ball there!

Golf course was in terrible condition except for the greens, which were nice...Needed to play winter rules on at least half my shots...It's only May and fairways looked like it was mid-July...Extremely disappointed, as most of the people I know rave about the Gold course even though it is very difficult.

Embarrassingly poor condition!

This is a resort corse that used to be WORLD renowned, now aside from exceptional design looks like a goat track! Every fairway on the gold corse was 70% No grass, just hard mud. When you found the fairway you were worse off than the rough. It’s only been 100 degrees in AZ 1 time this year and the course is nearly unplayable!

Great course

The course was in excellent condition. It was a challenging course. The staff was very friendly. We enjoyed the course so much when we finished we stayed to play another 18 on the red course. It too was in excellent condition. It is more set up for the weekend golfer. Lots of fun. I will definitely be back. Next time I’ll play the blue course

Wow

I use to work at this course years ago, there wasn’t a blade of grass out of place it was perfect. The cart kids use to have things on point, score cards in carts, names of the next group on the cart, full bottle of sand on the cart. Now playing it, fairways are dead greens are slow but don’t hold on the approach shot, carts had nothing ready I had to walk my clubs to about 15 feet from my cart then finally someone grabbed them. Cart lady Sharron was great and the lady at the half way house was great didn’t get her name. Price to play was 29.00 + tax,not bad price for course conditions.

Grass was burned up

I believe you are making the change between rye grass to Bermuda most grass and that is why the price was good. It was full of difficult greens as well as pin placement.

I was glad I played the course but I will try the red one next time,

Hostess in the restaurant was not very friendly but the bartender was very pleasant.
