The Wigwam Arizona

We were excited to play Wigwam Blue. Signage not good to drop clubs off and to get to pro shop. Fairways and tees boxes in great shape. I was disappointed in the greens. They were small and elevated and severely domed. Did not make playing there much fun to deal with the domed greens that in most cases not even fair. Practice area was incredible.

Terrible, on all levels. Overpriced. Boring courses. Not good conditions. Worst value for the price I’ve ever experienced in my life. Never going back there.

It was a very hot day so my partner and I only played 9 holes. The pace of play was perfect, played 9 holes in less than 2 hours. An added bonus was there were areas of shade which I had never noticed before.

This complete the trifecta at Wigwam…I have played the Blue and Gold courses and the Red course was the final stop. Course was in phenomenal condition.

Amenities are outstanding. Range, putting greens and the Proshop are top notch.

Only complaint was the distance to the Red course from the Proshop. Almost “missed” our tee time. Give yourself 10 minutes to get over to the 1st tee as it is quite a ride. As a plus we were treated to the Blue Angels flying around in formation during the round. While it was unsettling when trying to putt it didn’t hurt the round and added to the experience.

For the price you can’t beat any of the Wigwam courses!

We love all the Wigwam courses, but the prices have really gone up over the past few years and this may be the last time we golf there as there are better courses for the money - especially since the on course ameneties have not kept up either.

Over 100 degrees and no water in the carts and nothing but old water fountains throughout the course which with the heat in Arizona, is just crazy! (Blue has an upgraded water refiller that you see twice which is great, but nothing on red).

Everything else about wigwam red is great. Course is lovely with lots of shade, people are nice and course was in decent shape as well. Just about value.

We paid an outrageous amount for a poor experience.

We had a 10:32 tee time and arrived 45 minutes early. The range was in poor condition. Worn out mats and a lot of dirt that should have been grass. We arrived at the Blue Course starter station 10 minutes early and were paired with two season members. The starter advised that the groups ahead of us were girls on the University of Minnesota play a practice round. He said they hit the ball long and were waiting to hit the green (par5) in two.

So we waited for them to clear be fore we hit. We waited to hit on literally every single shot for the rest of the round. They were playing two tee shots each on all of the par threes. The member left after three holes due to the extremely slow play. We were stuck because we had paid for the round. The course itself was in terrible condition. Fairways were extremely wet and muddy. The lay out on sixteen makes no sense and runs alongside the members practice range, so watch out for balls coming at you. It was and expensive horrible experience. I will never go back!

The course was in good condition. It is a good layout with some very interesting holes. A group of players can really have a run competitive round.

Small crowned greens with many ball marks. We followed a girls tournament. Otherwise course was very nice condition.

The starting time was 30 minutes late and the pace of play was very slow.. It took almost 50 minutes to play the first 3 holes. I have played this course previously and really enjoyed it...but today was horrible!

First time playing Wigwam. Staff was great.!! Course was in very good shape. Trent Jones greens were tough.!

I’ll play here again.

Wigwam is a premium-priced course. My hot deal was about 1/2 the usual fee. I left our bags with my wife at the drop area while I went to park. Parking lot was very full so it took some time to find a spot. In the meantime, my wife was standing with the bags, After a few minutes, She went to find some help. There were a few staff members loitering, and it was about 5 minutes before one of them finally asking my wife if he could help. He did cheerfully take our bags to a cart, but I don't understand why he waited so long to ask. The cart was electric, a nice bonus, and very clean. The small GPS screen on the drivers side started up immediately. While I was playing, I noticed that it was not possible to use the GPS to do any touch-screen commands to determine mid-fairway distances. I am accustomed to that feature on less expensive courses, so I certainly expected better quality here!

The tee-off was delayed 30-60 minutes because of an earlier shotgun start tournament. The resulting pace of play was slow. The round took about 5:15 to complete.

The Layout of the Red course is mediocre, with only a couple of challenging holes, notably the last few.

Overall, I thought the course was overpriced for the amount I paid, not even considering my fee was a 'bargain'. Won't rush back.

The Wigwam courses are always well kept all year round, it's hard to beat playing these courses anytime. Pace of play can sometimes be a bit slow but to be expected at a resort style course. I never hesitate to book playing here every so often when we can. Thanks!

Was excited to play the Gold Course. Never played any of the courses at Wigwam but heard the gold was best. Was able to get what I figured was a steal of a price for a Sunday late morning, $70, a couple days in advance so I booked it. After playing, $70 is the most I’d ever pay to play here again. Starting with the good; the course layout was good. Very strategically placed bunkers that force you to hit good shots if you want a birdie putt. However, several of the greens were in terrible shape. Basically big areas of construction not marked as ground under repair. Like sink holes on the green with no grass and just dirt. Like a dried out muni course. Thankfully pin placement was not next to them however, it is in the way if you’re trying to land your shot in that area to spin it back or roll it up. A few of the tee boxes were basically bunkers. Just beat to a pulp in un-repaired divots and just mass amounts of sand all over the place. Same goes for the range. Rough shape; especially for this time of the year. Pace of play was running behind but not terribly slow considering that no ranger/marshall/players assistant was out there at all on a Sunday afternoon! It’s not worth the normal price they’re charging. If you can get it at a steal, then it may be worth it but it’s my own fault for setting my expectations high for how spoken up this place was. Pretty bland…
