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.

Course is overplayed

8 minute tee times for $175 and just shy of a 5 hour round. Many of the tee boxes were overused especially the par 3’s. Hard to find an eccentric place to place your tee. We waited on every shot. The fairways and greens were in really good condition though. The blue course and gold course kind of intermingle so there were a lot “FOUR’s” being yelled. Definitely not worth the money.

Lovely old school course

With the exception of a single saguaro cactus near the first tee, one would never guess this course was in the midst of a desert. A very fun, old school course with mature trees, water, deep bunkering, and mounded greens, this track is a worthy test of skill and mettle!

Design to be the west coast alternative to Firestone CC, this course measures 7300 yards from the tips and the green complexes will challenge anyone’s game.

With a couple of exceptions, the staff is incredible and very helpful, the practice facilities are top notch, and the maintenance is superb!

Heartily recommended!!!

Elevation Changes

Enjoyed the course. Played Blue White tee combo. I am a 12 and this was a challenge. Many forced Carrie’s and a few tighter holes. Good value for the $$! Course may go private I am tolls in a year or so.

Red is better than gold

Huge froze delay! Very backed on every hole caused by the frost! Good golfers all backed up! Left after the 15th hole!

A must play in west PHX for any golf enthusiast!

An awesome Parkland style course. I played the Gold Course, Jones Sr design, crowned greens etc... was in great shape and enjoyed it very much. Would definitely play it again.

Great Course But Noisy Jets From Nearby Airforce Base

Everything was great including course condition, staff, carts, range,, customers. and they let you take the cart to your car at convenient parking lot for unloading after the round. BUT, Airforce jets nearby made a racket almost continuously. Also, the location in the West valley is not convenient to Scottsdale.

Wow

This course has been on my to do list for some time and I finally got out to play the golf course this past weekend. The fairways were great, the greens were receptive & true, and the bunkers were a joy to play from. Overall a great experience and I will be back.

Great for post overseed

Played right after overseed. Nice course, just long fairways, and long slow greens. To be expected after overseed, but this slowed up play a lot since it was cart path only. I played for $60 in these conditions so I feel that was fair. If it was any more I’d say it wasn’t worth it.
Would like to see this track again in about a month.
