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.

Under repair

They are aerating the fairways and over watering the tee boxes. Lots of mud for a beautiful course. The gold course is a big course but the mud made it hard to play.

Always a pleasure

I love to golf this course. I love the layout. I love the challenge. It’s always well maintained. Everyone is friendly and always go beyond to ensure everyone is taken care off. My only gripe is the concession prices. Soda, water, and Gatorade are marked up as much as the beer. The $4 hot dogs aren’t bad though.

Under Par Conditions

Play here once a month. Was very surprised to see so many dried and burnt out grass areas on each hole. Some areas in the middle of fairway didn't even have grass. Just dirt. Did not expect this from the Wigwam. Guess I'll wait until the winter to play here again when conditions are better.

Gold course

Staff was very friendly. Really liked the variety of holes (Gold course). Greens were in great shape , but fairways weren't in as good condition. The fairways were still transitioning to summer grass and had many rough spots.It was helpful to have been paired up with a local to help with course hints . Summer rate was a great value and we'll play here again.

distance, challenge and peaceful

This was my first time playing Wig Wam and I was impressed by the care of the greens, the course layout, the challenge and the scenery it was very peaceful. Sherri in the beverage cart is very friendly and had a cold towel for me to cool down. Since I started at 130pm, it wasn’t crowded and the other golfers were very cordial.

I played the Gold course.

Enjoyed my round

Played on a warm day as a single on a discounted price and had no trouble going around the course. It's like that this time of the year here in Arizona.

Great time

Great course with plenty of challenges. Houses were present but not a threat to drives. Bunkers were placed perfectly. The red diner was a perfect end to the match. The only complaint I can give was with a single marshal. He tried to rush us a couple times while we were on track to a 4 hour round. I think he had some old friends that were trying to do a 3 hour match a few holes behind us. He actually made the group ahead of us skip a hole.

Course mismanagement

I like the course a lot, but this was a terrible round. The management, I guess in an attempt to squeeze every last dollar from a Sunday, booked two corporate groups, and allowed five-somes. That adds up to a five hour round, which was actually good considering it took us an hour and a half to play the first three holes. I guess they must not rely on repeat business, because I'm sure they chased many away. I will not go back. Too many better alternatives in the area to go through that misery again. It's a shame really because the course itself is in great condition and is a very good and fun layout.

An Difficult Course in Great Condition

We got a bargain here and the course gave all we could handle. You have to be able to put the ball in the right place to score on this course. Putting is borderline unfair on some holes. I putted off the green into the creek on 18 and I started my put down the center of the green. My only complaint is the layout is confusing in places due to the intertwined Blue Course.

Best condition in 2 years

Have played this course many times but had not played it for over a year due to conditions not being up to par the last time I played it. This time it was in excellent shape with speedy greens and grassy fairways that looked immaculate. I was very impressed by the conditions and will look to return in the very near future to play the course.

Nice but basic

The gold course is challenging but fairly bland. Every green is elevated and you need to know the overall flow. Of course we don’t as we haven’t played it or have a caddie to give directions. Not a good idea. Fairways are excellent with plenty of trees and obscure water canals you need to be aware of. Carts have good gps and you will need them.

Course was great but...

We arrived and their was no one at the bag drop. Pro shop staff was friendly and helpful. The pace of play was horrible. We contacted the pro shop about slow play in front of us but no ranger showed up. 5 1/2 hours later we finished. Nice course, slow play.
