Wigwam Resort - Gold Course

From the time got there I felt at home. The guys outside were great, same with the girls out on the course, but in the shop was great. I talked with Greg he was very outgoing and friendly, he explained everything I needed to know as I checked in I didn't need to ask any questions after I left the counter, he even gave me a quick tip and I played better then I have in a long time. Thank you Greg! As for the course It was better then i was even lead to believe. Fantastic views, grass everywhere no desert which was great. I will be back!!!!!

Course just completed overseeding and letting carts back on. Conditions awesome. Fairways very soft. Greens did not hold very well. Desert does not come into play at all as expected in Arizona. Has East Coast feel. Stayed at resort. Off season but great spot. Red's Bar & Grill great. Course Marshalls and maintenance staff very friendly. Pre-shop staff not very accommodating. Asked about rates first day at resort as guest. Quoted rack rate and max for club rental. Booked for half price on golf now and rental was cheaper in afternoon (not mentioned by staff previously) They provided a couple of sleeves of balls, which was great, wbut did not mention previously so I had already gone out and bought balls in advance. Had to ask for the balls the second day. ("Oh yeah, here you go") Overall, a great experience on the course. Will return to resort and play again. Great first day course before you take on the desert. (At Golfnow rates)

We enjoyed the game with the exception of the starter suggesting my wife could us the forward tees. My wife is a seventeen handicap!

This is a well-regarded and long-established course with a very good reputation. It was however, recently opened following overseeding and carts are restricted to cart path only. As well, the course is fairly wet. For me, it wasnt worth the extra $ this course draws over the other Wigwam courses. The ProShop did not advise us of this and we weren't aware until we teed off. As well, this Tues had a whole armada of maintenance staff to avoid.

This is a very good and challenging layout at the Gold course at Wigwam. Most holes are right in front of you so that you are aware of the hazards and design of the hole from the tee. Really enjoyable parkland course.

Unfortunately we played on a "cart path only" day which is annoying, but my wife and I took turns carrying our clubs instead. We should have simply ditched the cart right away, course is easily walkable. It was a bit of a beast for my wife at 5800 yards, but fair.

2 things. Cart path only and New over seeded rough. Imposible to hit good crisp irons from. We were not allowed to drive onto course but all maintenance crew were. They were the reason the newly over seeded rough was very matted down and impossible to hit out of. Great layout.

Gold course has long par 5s and well protected greens on some par 3s.

good ball placement critical off tee. I was lucky to have a regular with me to coach me on good ball placement. Greens had good speed and sand wedges held fairly well.

Note: you have to study water hazards prior to hitting ball or have experience on course.

Fairways good. 2nd cut proved hard to find ball.

2nd cut was tender and was able to power through with 6 and 7 iron. I had difficulty hitting 4 and 5 iron in thick 2nd cut. overall course condition excellent. 90 degree rule til Christmas time on Gold.

having cart path only carts actually slow down the game. On top of that the rough was very high and the ball almost impossible to find as it sunk right down to the bottom and was covered over by the tall grass. Fairways were in poor condition, on top of this the water available on the course was basically little drips coming from the fountains and the beer cart came around only once. Our foursome all said after the round that we would never play this course again

Course was in great shape. Very long and challenging. My only complaint is "cart path only". Another couple weeks it should be perfect.

Will definetly be back.

We travel twice a year to Phoenix for golf with all our buddies and this course is always on the list to play...it is a classic layout ...well thought out with tree and bunker placement. very lush, parkland style course. Good change from the desert courses.

Great service, good food in REDS...

Will continue to play each time go down

First tee time out. The practice tees were too far forward to hit anything but irons. There are three courses but only one person to check in all of those golfers. I walked into the golf shop 30 mins before my tee time and was told I couldn’t check in for another 10 mins. First impressions are everything. I would expect any course to be checking in golfers when the sun comes up or an hour before the first tee time. The course was in great shape but we weren’t aloud on it with our carts. Thankfully we were the first group because if we weren’t it would have been a six hour round. We finished in 4 hours and never saw the group behind us after the 4th hole.

The course is in beautiful shape, the bunkers are the best I have ever seen, powdery sand.

Played the Gold two days after opening after overseeding. The course layout is top shelf which will never be less then. The cart path only is unavoidable to allow play. But they should have waited imo to open the course the rough between holes was uncut and unplayable if you were lucky enough to find your ball a foot off the fairway. Oh you'll find plenty of lost balls from other players but most the time just not yours unless u spend 5 minutes looking with the group behind breathing down your necks.7 min between tee times was just plain ridiculous,but I played well and enjoyed my round the two singles they paired us with not so much a lot of hunting and looking with a lot of dirty looks from the group behind us. With that being said if you can't hit it straight give this course some time so they can get the grass mowed to playable height.

Quite enjoyed the round even though it just opened up after reseeding. Like to try it again when it's been back for awhile.

As usual the gold course at the wigwam was in great shape the staff is great overall great time period the round took 5 hours which is of course longer than we would like but other than that it was great

Unless you are a very good golfer just enjoy the course and take your score and the chance to play a RTJ layout. Severe penalties for off line shots. Play it for the experience.
