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.

wigwam

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.

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

Rough Shape

We played the Gold course and it was in rough shape. The fairway were being transitioned to a new grass. That is understandable, but you should know that a head of time. The greens were even worse. Most of them didn't really have grass on them. Very spotty. No water in half of the ball washers.

Such a disappointment - Wigwam Gold Course

I’ve wanted to play the Wigwam for some time now, I was extremely disappointed. I want my Sunday back! Maybe it’s the “summer conditions”.... this course was horrible! Dead fairways, Greens that were so dry they were nothing but dried cracked dirt in places (50%). Impossible to judge the speed of your putt, and if you’re looking for grass in the fairway you’d be moving your ball at least once per hole to avoid the “ground under repair”. My buddy who played with me says he played the course in the winter and it was in much better shape. Regardless, a course that is in this bad of shape should be closed till it recovers. Place of play was horrid! It took us 5hrs+ to get though the course It was impossible to get any momentum when you had to sit for 10 min between holes. At least we had plenty of time to get food at the snack shack. Food and beverages were way overpriced. $6-$7 for beer that everywhere else is $4-$5. I cannot express how disappointed I was with the Gold course. Do not waste your time or money here, even at $33 / round.

Just OK

Nothing special. 4 1/2 hr round. Greens need watering bad. Rock Harry. They can’t hold a shot. Cart girl was good. Kid at check in needs personality. He is not friendly. Course has a few good holes and some bad ones. The more I play it the more disappointed I am. I hope it’s a long time before I play again. It’s a local course

NEVER DISAPPOINTS

This course is outstanding! It was in GREAT condition. It’s definitely a challenge with the elevated greens! They were also very firm, so careful with back pin placements. Aggressive shots will cost you; shoot for middle of the green! Overall a very FUN day on the Links!!!

Steady Eddie

The Wigwam property golf courses are always in good condition, however the Gold course was in great shape on May 13th.

Greens had a great pace and rolled the way they looked. Tees and fairways were lush without any bare or thin areas.

This is a must play right now and with great weather in the comping week.

pure gold

Wonderful round on the gold course. no waiting except for a few minutes on two par 3's. The course is in great shape. A lot of people don't take 3 seconds to repair their divots on the green. This is a very nice course; the whole resort is top notch.

Course in great shape and good value

Course in great shape and good value. The Gold course is tricky to play but good variation of holes with water and fairway bunkers to make you think. Not your typical desert course as it is more of a park like setting.

The course was in great shape. The greens were hard to hold and very slick and fast. Knowing the course layout would have helped out. Can’t wait to play it again
