Wigwam Resort - Gold Course
About
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.

Beautiful Course
Enjoyed the play and well maintained course. Championship challenge !
Too shaggy to recommend.
hate to mark negatively but a personal pet peeve is shaggy tees and fairways. Would play again only if I could guarantee good conditions. Greens were good though. Cart path only a pain due to overseedding also, cannot tell difference between fairway and rough really. If full price of I would be livid. I will try and support them again but will be a while. Nice facility otherwise, road out front is awesome! Until further notice only play if you get a smokin deal.
weather was good
weather was great, a little disappointing to play up at the white tees due to not playing very well that day and finding all the par 3s playing over or close to 200 yds. There's a reason when you move up to mens regular tees, you dont want to play par 3s that are close to 200 yds! Other than that course was a little wet and muddy but overall was good. If your not playing well course conditions not very forgiving.
Nice course
I really like this facility, great atmosphere on patio, courses are fun and cheap, conditions were good coming out of overseeding. Had a fun day out there.
Poor Condition
First time at the Wigwam and was really disappointed. Driving range in poor shape with dead grass all over the place, cleaning bucket didn't have a brush, dirty water in it and one towel floating in the bottom. Went to hit a few putts and found both putting greens were closed. Headed to the tee box but no starter. Guy drove up and told me there was a twosome joining me. He came back stating he couldn't find them. Tee areas were in poor shape and not mowed. Fairway grass was long, no one was fixing divits. I went through 7 btls of sand in my round. Greens where SLOW, grass was the height of fairways. Some bunkers had grass growing in them. Don't waste your money play someplace else.
Nice tract
My son and I played a cool overcast day so the cart path only wasn't quite the pain it usually might be.
Being recently over seeded was a challenge with rough 4-6 inches and fairways uncut. Mature trees and plentiful bunkers dotted with water hazards was both beautiful and challenging. Par five small greens were appropriately guarded with numerous bunkers. I would recommend this course. Very playable but offered enough doglegs and tree issues to keep you focused on where to place the ball in play to set up your next shot. As it should be in good course design, it had a finishing hole into the wind that produced my only double bogey. Fun day.
Poor Conditions 11-1-14
Just came out of over seeding. That said, Fairways were not cut until hole 12, could not see ball on fairways up until hole 12. Roughs were very wet and very thick and long throughout course. Sand traps were all very poor, wet, hard with little to no loose sand.
NICE COURSE
Overseeding so condition was okay but no one behind or in front...good value for the money. Championship course so longer than our foursome could handle...all felt it a challenge.
Horrible conditions
Course was just off over seed. Greens were uncut, very difficult to putt on, fairways were uncut, we lost balls in the centre of faiways. In general the course was in unplayable condition. At no time were we told of the course condition. There was no access to drinking water on the course. Staff in pro shop and on course staff never mentioned course poor condition. We will not play Wigwam courses in the future. For the extra couple of hundred dollars that Wigwam golf courses received for that day of golf they did so much damage to the course reputation.
Reseed opening too soon
This normally pleasant course was opened way too soon after reseeding. The fairways were uneven and so poorly prepared, it was difficult to find balls in the fairway. Greens were furry and we finally resorted to granting 2 putts once you hit the green. Bunkers were grassy and some were crunchy on the bottom from evaporated water. Only one had rakes. I'm sure it will look great in a week or two but it definitely was not a high end resort presentation, at any price, on this day.
Overseeding
While it was undersood that the course was just overseeded and cart path only it was in no condition to be played The traps were full of grass and no sand the first rake that was seen on the course was 18. this course should not have been open to guest or public play at any price
Bad Greens & Slow Play
I drove an hour to get out there and expected a nice course. For the price I paid the course was in very poor shape.
Greens: Extremely bad shape. Looks like they have not been watered in quite some time. A lot of them had big chunks of just dirt areas with no grass. It was the worse I have seen anywhere all year. Wedges will not hold or stick.
Fairways: The rough was challenging but nothing to intense. Fairways were decent but still mostly dead.
Bunkers: No sand at all. Chips shots off of hard dirt.
Pace of play: 5 hours! There were multiple groups of five-somes... Not efficient or fun having to wait 5-10 minutes every shot.
Some of the hole layouts are very strange. One par 3 from the tips played about 213 and had a tree right in front of the tee box. It required a monster hook to get anywhere near the green.
last minute deal.
decided at the last minute to play. staff was great. course was in good condition. had to stop after 16. thunder and wind
1st Timer
Tough classic course that worth playing at least once. Choose the tees that are appropriate for your game. The course can be very long with the thicker rough
Extreme course conditions
Hard, slow, bumpy greens made putting difficult. 3"+ Bermuda grass rough not very fair; made it easy to loose ball and prevent hitting greens. Layout of a couple holes questionable. Some pin positions too difficult with green conditions.
Great day of Golf
It was my first time there at the Wigwam Gold. I found the staff helpful and very friendly.
Nice layout
Course in good shape including fairways and greens. Grounds crew in process of mowing the rough to a more reasonable length than had been talked about in earlier reviews. Still a course that one needs to drive the ball straight and long to be able to score. Would recommend playing once but probably will not play again this year.
Not Good
The course layout itself is not bad, it's long, but not bad. The problem is that the rough is horrible. You can't find your ball if you are 2 inches off the fairway or green. And all it is is unmowed grass, not anything even nice looking. The greens were horrible, they had piles of dirt and tire tracks on almost every hole. I'll never golf here again.
Wigwam Golf
Grass was too long. Had to search for balls almost ever hit that wasn't on the fairway itself. I don't mean we chucked it in the boonies, but every just off the fairway grass was hard to find. Green were too slow too. Being a recreational golfer I don't really like US Open rough. Wigwam is a great place, just get the mowers out there more often.
Heritage course money well spent
Course was in good condition and would play anytime
