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.

This course is challenging and in great shape.

The fairways are close to each other. We had three near misses in two rounds.

The Gold course is a great course except for the greens. Not one green has a flat area and the pin is always on a slope. Definitely greens for excellent putters; Not for the average player.

Wigwam course

A true test of your golf game both physically and mentally. Knowing what side of the green to miss on is very important. The times I was on the short side or downhill led to less than good scores.

The Wigwam Golf Course

Nearly all good except for the sand traps. I’ve never seen them so nasty. Hard packed wet sand that was difficult to even dent! Did they cut back maintenance on the Gold Course because they had college golf events on the Blue and Red Courses?! Whatever the reason, not worth the $225.00. Oh and we waited on nearly every shot on every hole. 11:40am tee time. Kind of takes some enjoyment out of the game. Do better or drop your green fees significantly. :-(

Fast greens

The greens were very fast and challenging. Not so great when you get punished for hitting the greens and then rolling off because most were elevated and upside down bowl shape so really only had small areas to hit to. The layout was okay. Fairways being so close together the risk of hitting someone else or them hitting you was increased. Carts were excellent and fairways grass was in good shape. I would play again because the prices were reasonable.

Great course to play!

Played the Gold course for the first time with my wife. Fantastic condition, great pace (did 18 holes in under 4 hours). Greens can be tough but the overall layout was fun, challenging and fair. I'd definitely play here again!

Not the best first impression..

So when I showed up I figured there was going to be a little bit of a frost delay because of the cold morning.. (it would be nice to get an email, but not a big deal) then I checked in and they told me I was going to be on a totally different course then what i paid for because of a tournament that got pushed back.. ( and again it would've been nice to get and email/phone call telling me that) so instead of getting to play the gold course which is what I paid for and is just over 7300 yds they put me on the blue course which play 6000 from the tips. And to top it all off it was backed up all day. Hole 2 had 4 groups waiting at the tee with one on the green.. (never seen that before) I was told by a couple of people that it's not normally like this, but either way I probably won't be back.
