The Wigwam Arizona

Not a bad course. Standard resort course you’d get anywhere.

On the positive, the course was well maintained (nice fairways, greens, and tee boxes). However, the course layout was ridiculous. The greens and tee boxes were unbelievably close together and in some cases there were tee boxes behind a green. There were balls flying everywhere from different holes where they often landed within 10 yards of where you’re standing. In addition, the pace of play was rough with waiting on every hole and in some cases 3 groups backed up on a tee box because layout was so bad. Really need to fix this situation; I’ve played a lot of courses and this was crazy for the $$ paid and considered leaving after a few holes of play.

Great staff and drinks! Try the Raspberry refresher 😉. Loved the course layout and challenges. Watch the gps especially for the challenging but doable Hole 18.

We will be back!

wigwam is a class facility. it's well run, their staff and courses are very nice. weather was perfect, my only complaint(s) would be bunkers lack of sand or good sand and the price. if i'm going to pay close to $200, please put some decent sand in the traps. we are in the middle of the sonoran sand trap aren't we? it was like hitting off of mud or solid ground. their restaurant is excellent

We played the gold course. Everything was great from the oversees. The greens and the cart girls were top notch

The course was in Awesome shape. Greens were rolling fast and were in very good shape.

It helps when golfers fix their divots in the fairway and on the green. Past of play was good too.

We enjoy the course. Played with 2 locals that knew the layout which was helpful. Parking was scarce. Lot was full. Didn’t see sign for bag drop so I carried through parking lot. Otherwise golf was very enjoyable

I have nothing bad to say about my groups experience at Wigwam. It feels like a desert Oasis. I cannot speak for the red or blue course, I saw some greens and tee boxes and they looked good, but our round was on the Gold Course.

Check in was a breeze, they had great Merch and a wide selection of my favorite brands that looked sharp. Friendly staff from the ladies at check in to the snack bar to the starter and the bev cart. Snack Bar Side Note - the lady was nice and helpful, but I was off put when she asked if I’d like to enter a gratuity amount when I paid with my card. She handed me a bag of chips and a beer can. That is all.

Because I am the way I am, I said no pretty promptly, then pulled out a $1 bill and put it in the tip jar. I don’t think she appreciated the hard no, and I admit my $1 bill was passive aggressive, but I digress. I didn’t care for that last bit of our interaction.

The tees, fairways, rough, and greens were perfect. Bunkers were full of sand, not dirt. It was 75 degrees outside and no breeze. It was perfect golfing conditions. The hole variety was incredible on this course, and we played a 4 some at 11:30am Thursday in 3.5 hours with no one pushing behind us or any wait ahead of us.

18th hole was pretty special for me. 400 yard par 4. Drove it into the right fairway bunker. Hit a strong PW over the lip to 10 ft then nailed the birdie putt to finish the round. It was an incredible finish for me to an incredible day.

Don’t forget to tip your waitress… lol

Great course, unfortunately we were cart path only but we still played in 4 hours. We were not exactly sure where to check in since the parking lot was across the street from the course - so if you play it, leave your clubs in your car and go get a cart and bring it across the street

Very challenging layout wth fast greens, with many bunkers and water hazards. Pace of play was good and round was finished in less than 4 hours. Played here 4-5 times and staff is very helpful both on and off the course.

It’s on my go play list every time I’m in the Goodyear & Avondale area.

The course was in good shape, but, my wife thought the fairways were cut a little short, but, that is her preference.
