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 Day on the Gold Course

My first time playing golf since before last Christmas. Played the Gold course, tee time at 11:30 but got off early around 10:45. I had the front 9 to myself, and ran into a few people on the back but played through them. The course is in great shape tee to green, the greens being pretty fast. I really had a great time just being out there on such a nicely maintained course. Can't wait to play again next week.

Course Closing on 6/8/2015

I was concerned when I showed up for my tee time when the staff informed me that the Heritage course would be shutting down for awhile and they hadn't been watering it.
To my surprise, along with everyone's in Phoenix, we received some June rainfall, and this kept one of my favorite courses still very playable. This course has the biggest greens of the 3 at the Wigwam, and many of them aren't anthills like the patriot or gold courses. Too bad it seems that is west valley gem will be shutting down for this summer, but I hope that the planned improvements will add to it already appealing nature. Rounds play fast and the resort style layout will keep your errant tee shots from coming up missing like a lot of the desert courses here in the Phoenix metropolitan area.

Where's the sand?

I love the course except for a couple of issues. The Gold course has 85 sand traps. Only about 10 of them actually had sand. The rest were DIRT traps. Many of them are deep so chipping out of them is next to impossible. To bad - such a great layout! The other complaint - warm beer at the 8th hole snack bar. Warm Bud Light Lime and not very refreshing. Please add sand to the other 75 bunkers.

Great Course challenging and good price

I have played all the courses now at Wigwam and I must say that the Gold is by far the best. Very challenging, long, and fun... several holes with hidden water, small landing areas, and the greens were excellent. Every green is elevated and guarded well!!!

Not Resort Golf!

This facility has been a favorite of mine for 10 years. The staff have been professional and friendly and the course well maintained and challenging. Not today. The heritage half way house is closed for demolition, the starter allowed 8 twosomes in a row to tee off, and no beverage cart to be seen through the first nine holes. After three attempts to contact the pro shop and inquiry as to the whereabouts of the beverage cart, I threw in the towel. Nine holes in 2.25 hours is punishment enough, but no libation to soften the blow, I had to walk off after. Nine holes.

I will say that the pro shop heard my concerns and offered me a free round for the bad experience. Not sure I will go back until I hear things are better. It's a shame really, as Wig Wam is the only "Resort" in the west valley.

Hidden Gem

I've been here for 5 years now, golfed all over the valley, how did I miss this place. Love the course layout, in great shape, excellent greens. 20-30 mph winds made scoring impossible but I will return! Hands down the best $25 I ever spent on golf.

Challenging and enjoyable

Check in was easy, staff was friendly, and course was in good condition. The greens were quick and a few were under repair, but it wasn't a major issue. Some fairways were narrow so you have to hit quality tee shots. Make sure you play the right tees because if you're too far back this could be a pretty difficult test and maybe not too enjoyable. I had a great time, but there wasn't a cart girl and the snack shack wasn't open- no issue with me given it was mother's day so understand the staffing.

Enjoyable Oaks Style Course

Found a good rate to play here in the late morning. Very enjoyable RTJ course with difficult approach shots and some undulating greens. Course is fairly open and forgiving but requires precision into greens that appear soft but are anything but. Greens could roll a little better hence the 4 stars, but are in enjoyable shape. I would play here again for the right price.

Had fun at Wigwam Gold. Generous fairways and great bunkers. My only concern was the greens were a bit in the hard side.
