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.

Very fast round

Greens in good shape. Fairways firmness was good after heavy rain two days ago. Be prepared for thin lies on the bunker. Not horrible but tough to adjust to. Would definitely play again. Fair value at ~$120 per round.

Worth playing again

Tee boxes-10. Fareways-10. Greens-8. Bunkers-6. Pace of play-10. Cool old golf course. Has a country club feel. All over seeded and very green. The greens were a little bumpy but rolled pretty well. The course was firm and fast. The blue tees played fairly short(0 handicap) because of the roll out on drives. Stay out of the fairway bunkers, thin lines and high lips. I'd play it again next time I'm in town.

Gold course

We spent $100.00 to play golf course. The people behind the desk we very unfriendly ☺️. The guys cleaning the clubs awesome. After cutting my head open o the #1 golf sign just by throwing something into the garbage and I rose up and hit the corner of metal sign cutting my head open. Then we got on the first green to find out the greens had been sanded. At no time did anyone tell us about the sanding. I would never spend this kind of money to play sanded greens. Very disappointment with this. INot sure we would play again.

Beautiful

We are visiting Arizona for the first time and playing many different courses. Our preference is a mountain course, but this was a beautiful course. For being a flat course, the layout was great. Even with carry path only, we finished in four hours. The fairways were plush and we felt the greens rolled well. The Gold course was very long for women, but we are definitely coming back to play the Blue and Red courses.

Not certain why the Gold course is more expensive to play than the other two . Conditions were equal on all 3

course which condition wise were average at best. Greens all had sand which was very aesthetically unappealing. However they did roll decent and at a nice pace.. I personally wouldn't play this again unless it was a bit less expensive.. Decent Muni course at best..

Very Open

Flat course with lots of room to spray the ball. Round took 4.75 hours. No ranger. Greens were already dried out and sandy. Great clubhouse and restuarant. Nice practice area. Not worth the $70/person rate.

Forcing people to Share Carts

I booked online as a single, arrived and my clubs were placed on a cart. I went to the range to warm up, and then drove a few hundred yards out to the first tee. About a minute prior to my tee time the starter said they had a rule that each 4some could only use 2 carts so I had to share a cart with the 3rd member of the 3some I was joining. I have a few problems with this.

1. This guy smoked and I'm an asthmatic

2. My reservation clearly stated I paid for a round of golf + a cart

3. It had a noticeable negative impact on pace of play.

I confronted the starter about this rule and he said I"d have to go back into the pro shop and discuss it with them - which would've delayed my entire 4some.

The tee boxes and fairways were in incredible shape, the greens were in mediocre shape at best, but this ridiculous rule is what earned them 1 star; I'd give negative stars if possible. I only golf as a single or as a 3some with my dad and brother - so I guess at Wigwam I will always have to share a cart with someone.........Which means I'm never going back to Wigwam.

Wait

Every green has damage. Either the overseed grow in needed longer and/or mowers are causing damage. This is a nice resort so very surprised at the playing conditions.

good as gold

follow the yellow brick road to the Gold course at the Wigwam. A R. T. Jones design where par is a good score and when you get that rare bird you are more than surprised and gratified.

The course was in superb condition and the overseeded rye grass was eye popping green.

A day at the Wigwam is a welcome respite to the hustle-bustle of the holidays.

Get to the Gold- now.

Challenging course in excellent shape

We really enjoyed our round. This is a very challenging course and it was in excellent shape. There are lots of strategically placed traps, and water... Greens were fast and true.. Will play it again, especially if we get a great hot deals price...

Had a nice time on Wigwam gold

Wigwam Gold was a nice, fairly open and well maintained course. I enjoyed my round, however the facility has 3 18 hole courses, that at times feel like they are on top of each other. This is not a desert course, you could see a course just like this about anywhere across the southern United States. It was priced fairly, and that was nice, but having traveled to Phoenix for some golf, this really didn't feel like any kind of a desert course.
