Slope 137
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.

Nice track

Played the Gold course this trip. At just under 6400 yds. it played long after the rains this week. The over seeding is still long and but easy to get through. The holes varied and it never seemed you were playing the same hole twice. Many greens have false front which doesn’t excite me but nice layout overall.

Pro shop were great and the years until backshop kids did a good job getting us set up.

Playing the red course in a couple of days.

Slowest greens ever

Overall the course was in good shape. Pace of play was good. Service on the course was good. The only negative thing was the greens. Possibly the slowest I have ever played. I am assuming it is due to the time of year but until they improve I honestly wouldn’t play the course again.

Just ok

Ive played this course many times and I would say every time I've played it its been just ok. Condition of course is always the issue. Many of the greens were in rough shape and an unusual amount of what I would call crab grass on the course. Not worth the drive and doubt I'll play it anymore

Great value and course for the date

Considering they’re over seeding Monday the golf course was in excellent condition today. Greens were fast, a little bumpy but overall very nice. The fairways and tee were all in good condition . It was a very enjoyable day finished in less than four hours

Upholds its reputation as one of the tougher courses in AZ

Just before over seeding, course was fast but the green hard and very fast

All four of us enjoyed it immensely and will be back

Even our 2 handicapper had trouble scoring

Not having played here for many years still remembered the challenging elevated green where missing the green is so important as getting up and down becomes very challenging especially with the speed and subtle breaks.

Had to wait on thirteen of eighteen tee boxes which I consider unacceptable specially when the temperature is 105. There are a number of areas on fairways and greens missing grass. We play two different course in the valley every week during the summer. By far the conditions on this course are worse then most of the courses we have played. I will not play this course again.

Nice facility

Greens and fairways are a bit rougher than usual. They know that and will definitely bring it back to shape. Nice facilities with a great layout and nice vibe going on. Recommended
