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.

Great old school course

Played the Golf course after being recommended by a local friend. Very challenging course with tee boxes that play WAY back. Friendly staff, course was in outstanding condition, had lunch afterwards at the grill and it was fantastic. The Wigwam is an older resort with lots of 50's charm and a course with a very what you see is what you get layout. Feels a lot like old Palm Springs with many multi-million midcentury modern homes bordering parts of the course. Loved it and will be back.

Great layout

A true RTJ gem, the Gold Course at WIgwam will use very club in your bag. Water sneaks in on numerous shots and the undulating greens are a very good test. Although a little freyed at the edges, this course is an excellent test for the intermediate and above.

Blue instead of gold

I had to play the blue course because the gold course was backed up by an hour. Blue course was good but I paid for the gold course.

Wigwam Gold

Would have appreciated warning that course was cart path only before arriving at course. Great course and lay out, but a lot of unanticipated walking. Wouldn't even allow handicapped player to use flag.. Also GPS not installed on one of our carts.

Very Disappointed

First of all, 2 hour frost delay with temperature in the 40s and grass soft without visual frost whatsoever. Second locker room was not stocked and no beverages available. and third and this is the big one, they waited until we were ready to hit the the first tee before notifying us that the entire course was cart path only which is absolutely unacceptable. And finally fourth, the course was in average condition and pin placement was ridiculous! Haven't been this disappointed with a golf course in decades and considering the track really isn't that impressive to begin with, and we played their so-called gem "the Gold Course", I will not be back ever to this lame establishment! We were not even allowed to hit the driving range which is on carpet, what a joke! And not allowed to hit the chipping greens and/or putting greens? I never take the time to write a bad review on any company, but I feel completely compelled to write this one to protect even one person from having to get screwed over like we were! So very disappointed, and I think your corporate board should really consider investigating your staff and their inabilities which are destroying your established name!

Beautiful course but horrible pace management

Playing the gold course and the pace of play was absolutely terrible! It took our group 3 1/2 hours to play 9 holes! To make things more complicated the course was cart path only due to an upcoming tournament which is great but cart path only really slows the pace of play especially when you’re stacking tee times on top of each other.
