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 resort

Play wigwam every year while visiting. Far and wide one of the best priced fo the solid condition. Greens always fast fairways and rough is lush. Can’t say enough good things on the course. Gold course will play as long as you desire, elevated greens that are well protected by well manicured bunkers. A great challenge every time. This isn’t a standard desert course more like a traditional parkland. Lastly best proshop stock around always something nice to pickup.

Fantastic course - very disappointing reception

We are regulars at Wigwam - not members, but snowbirds who play here several times/week. We’ve been regulars for 5+ years. We bring friends and neighbors here too. The course is amazing and the amenities are too. Because of the parking lot logistics, I drop off the clubs and park, and my wife works with the staff to get our bags on carts etc. This past visit was not the normal experience, but it was horrible. Staff directed my wife to pick any cart she wanted and didn’t load the club for her. She did it herself. She always tips well for the help. But no help. No one offered to help us after our round either. No club cleaning, no help getting clubs to the bag drop.

Not sure what the issue is - trouble hiring staff, …??? We will try it one more time, and if things don’t change, then we will definitely take advantage of other courses in the area. Very disappointed!! Wanted to give 1 star, but we’ve received far better help in the past. So, generously hoping this was an anomaly.

Top 50 AZ Course

This course is in great condition tee to green. They provide a multitude of tee box options for all skill levels. Green roll true. No complaints. It’s easy to see how this was recently included in the top 50 AZ courses.

Terrible setup for holiday weekend

Second time playing wigwam gold and likely will not go back. Course was very poorly managed with no rangers anywhere leading to a painful 5:15 round. Rough was very overseeded and difficult to find your ball, and when you do advance it. Just a terrible decision by the course with so many novice golfers in town for the holiday. Every tee box was a ten minute wait as folks playing your hole and from other holes searched for balls. Course itself was challenging and COULD be fun if there was any kind of flow to the round.

GHIN HCP 6 index rating

played on 09/27/2025 in the morning and course overall in very good condition. Only bad thing was it was a 4 hour and 40 minute round due to waiting on every shot for groups ahead to move ahead.

Great for this time of year. Greens were perfect. All the courses out there have confusing layout if you've never played there. Totally worth the drive though

The couple of sand traps I played out of were hard underneath and with an open face my club bounced and sculled the ball.
