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.

Excellent good choice

Even though that the course was cart path only as advertised, the day went smooth with a course in excellent condition. Greens were little slow as expected, but in good shape. Overall once cart path only is lifted it will be a great place to play as usual.

Greens were a little slow but consistent, overall great experience.

update to angry review

First of all I'd like to update my previous post . I left the previous message in anger due to their bold approach of guilt. I should have contacted their golf pro to explain his accusation.. I will call his office tomorrow and give him the benefit of the doubt.

I was a passenger in the cart (not the driver) and my playing partner was the main driver of the cart. Also, I walked several holes because of errant shots and maybe something happened while I was away??? My partner has denied crashing the cart. If the cart was unknowingly damaged during our round, then I would be flabbergasted.

So after cooling down:

I really liked playing here and the course has a nice and challenging layout. The restaurant/bar looks enticing. Walking to the pro shop is a little confusing (the parking lot is across the street) but we found it without a hitch. The price of their sandwich on the course was reasonable.

Play here and they’ll accuse you of damaging their cart

I played here on 10/4 and five days later I get an email telling me to give them my CC to pay for damages to their cart. Wow!!! I couldn’t believe it! They said I rolled it or crashed into a tree and that the frame was bent. So it took them five days to notice that??? I’ve been playing for over 30 years and never experienced anything like this.

In that first email they’re asking me to pay for damages or else they’ll file a police report. When you’re innocent, you fight to the end. As a firefighter and a veteran, I’d expect the first email to ask me to contact them regarding damage to their cart. But I’m guilty by their “kangaroo court” before I even read that first email. What’s the use of discussing the situation with them if their court has already preordained me guilty. Bring on the police report and the lawsuit. When you’re innocent, you got to defend yourself.

I wonder how often they make these false accusations to out of state golfers. But, that’s okay, I’m in Scottsdale all the time if I have to appear in court. The burden of proof is on them.

I returned a cart in an undamaged condition and then they try to scam me??? If the cart was damaged (an obvious bent frame) like they said it was, then they should have noticed it right away not five days later.

Great course

The course is in great condition and I will definitely return to play it again. Considering that it’s close to over seeding time of year, the tee boxes, fairways, and greens are all very nice.

Fantastic Challenge Gold Course

Gold is undoubtedly the best challenge for mid to low handicap players in the west valley. The layout is top notch. The course is in great condition and the greens are very pure and true. Great experience from checking in through the 19th hole. Recommended.
