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.

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

Tough course

The fairways were not as lush as I thought they could have been. Not really a fan of drainage running all through the course, but that is just me not doing better at course management. I want to play it again just to make better decisions. I think that course will be better for me in the Winter.

Fantastic Course, Fairways not great yet

Wigwam resort and the Gold course is one of our group's favorite layouts and all Wigwam courses are always a great golf destination. Clearly the summer fairways are a 'work in progress', but overall the course, the facilities and the staff were excellent as always.

Played here off and on for years.

Have played wigwam off and on sense the 80s but for them to charge for the condition that it's in at this time is absolutely a shame. I understand that the course is in transition for summer but there is alog of better option's with good conditions for less money right now! Played Grandviiew yesterday for 8 dollars less an really good turf conditions. Wigwam needs to hire people that give a dammed not sure what happened but don't play it in the summer conditions are sub par. A avid golfer that plays around 100 rounds a year.

Semi Pros

My buddy and I were paired with two very good golfers who thought they were even better. It ruined our whole round. The course was in great shape. You’d think the greens would be lightning but we’re really slow but true.

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.
