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.

Mediocre

Conditions are already turning from lack of attention. Burnt our fairways, etc. The course is mediocre at best. There’s lots of choices in the Valley. No need to have this one on your must play list.

Great course but greens were horrendously slow

The overall course layout of the golf course is fantastic. Designed by Robert Trent Jones to test your playing ability - fairways set up nicely if you’re a long hitting but shot placement is still key to scoring well here. The only thing I had a problem with - and RTJ would be rolling over in his grave - was with how SLOW the greens were. For a championship course to have greens this slow is a huge disappointment. I would love to play this course again but they’d need to make the greens much quicker before I entertain the thought.

"shag" greens

These were the slowest greens I have played in the Phoenix area. It did not appear that they have been mowed in quite sometime. In order to putt them effectively one would have had to practice on shag carpet. I played the course approximately two weeks earlier, and the greens were slow, but this was ridiculous.

Gorgeous course

Other than the staff handling phone calls, it was a perfect golf outing. Greens were a bit rough with a lot of Divet’s but the rest of the course is gorgeous

Great Shape

Played the Gold course, played from the orange tees. The course was in great shape, fairways nice and green and lush, the greens were also nice and full which made them a little slow. Staff was extremely friendly on arrival. I look forward to playing it again!!
