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.

great challenge

Enjoyed very much,sandtraps manicured,rough tournament ready.Pace of play hurt due to cart path only. I would suggest offering pull carts as a very walkable course and improve pace of play.

No flat greens

Greens are tough due to subtle slopes and elevations. Fun to try to figure the roll of the ball.

Long course with elevated greens.

Don't Bother

This course is a mess. Yes, they just over seeded and yes it is car path only but still the course could be better set up to make adjustments for those conditions. The rough was ridiculously long, greens might have well been shag carpet, play was glacially slow and a marshall could not be found anywhere. No beverage cart appeared on the back nine with limited drinking water on the course. Just a miserable day, and I wont be going back EVER.

Classic RTJ Sr

Very nice layout. Greens were slow as they are preparing to overseed next week. Got out first and played 18 in just under 2 hours, loved that. Lots of trees, doglegs and bunkers that pinch the fairways. Good place to play if you want to stay in the shade.

Staff was extremely nice, and cost was very reasonable.

Legendary architect, forgettable golf course

I was really disappointed. There was almost no distinction between fairway and rough, the tee boxes and greens were really furry. I had no confidence on the greens. I had to hit so hard I usually played no break and there was always some. This is just before overseed season, so I'm not sure if they've just let it go, but there is no excuse not to take a mower out there. Bare spots I understand in Arizona summer, but not furry greens. Definitely skip this one.

Okay

First time, had heard the name Wigwam in past and assumed a bit of a classic. Played golf course. Very flat, ball rolls a long way. Some bunkers and a little water. Short par 4's, you should walk off this course feeling very good about your game.

Pretty basic

This would be a good opening round, a warm up course. Very flat and few features. A lot of bunkers and a couple of holes have water in play, however from what would be the white tees it is short and flat. Drier conditions lead to a lot of roll on the fairways and easy shots in to the green. Nice pro shop, good selection of goods.

This was my favorite course

the greens were not in a good shape. I am very disappointed. I brought a friend from Denver to play with me and greens were not in a good shape. We enjoyed the greens at Estrella Golf..

Greens were slow and in bad shape, I totally agree. I was extremely disappointed considering the reputation of Robert Trent Jones, Sr.

Overall a good place to play, great value!

The greens are in good shape, a few bare spots from the burn out of the winter Rye grass. Tee boxes and fairways hadn't been mowed in several days. Otherwise a great value.

Be prepared to be challenged.

My wife and I stayed at the Wigwam Resort for our vacation, and I got the chance to play the Gold course. It is a very good course , and indeed a challenge, mostly due to the tricky greens. The only negative was pace of play, mostly because I was a single, and had caught up to the early morning pack, and nowhere to go. Other than that, it was a fun round.
