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.

One of my favorites

The Red and Blue courses were closed for reseeding, which probably led to our round being a little slow due to the number of people on the course. The Gold course is in great shape, very forgiving rough, tough but true greens. From the Blue tees, it plays 6800 yards, but only has a slope of 127. The round was worth every penny.

Gold Course

It is very long course for a high handicapper. Starter did not inform us of the aqua tee boxes. It was a 5 hr. Round since we had to wait on a lot of the holes.

Poor layout, pace of play, organization. Over priced.

From the start the staff mixed our bags with other groups bags on the carts. Staff kept cutting off one of our players that was explaining that we were not part of a group of friends who all came to play together. The group ahead of us was an 8-some, and were allowed to play as 4 2-somes. To their credit they did allow us, a group of 3, to play through after 6 holes. Still, waiting 10-15 mins to tee off from the very first tee was a little much.

Later in the round a member of staff came driving down the cart path. We moved off the cart path to give them room. Staff told us not to drive in the rough….maybe don’t drive in the center of the cart path?

At the end of the day, at approximately $80 per golfer, I would have rather spent more money to go to another course. I won’t be back at Wigwam.

Great course & value!

I live quite close to the resort, but since I'm not very good, I cannot afford high green fees. In the off season, you can play a great course for a relatively low green fee. Highly recommend!!

Hot time on Wigwam

This is a great course for all players at any level. The fairways are open with limited trees. Bunkers are placed at challenging locations and plenty of water hazards around the greens.

Wigwam

Layout is pretty solid with very good fairways. My one and only complaint would be the greens weren’t in the best shape but in Arizona in August that might be asking for too much…

Pace of play and lies

We waited on every hole, we met the group ahead of us on the tee on holes 3, 4, 6 (2 groups) 7, 8, 9, and 11

I mentioned open holes to the Marshall and he lied to me that there were no open holes. I could see them with my own eyes as I played the course very disappointing!

Cart staff and greeting were excellent very friendly very helpful
