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.

Great course, great value.

Payed twilight rate and still finished 18 holes so great pace of play! Course is lush, green and well groomed, unlike the typical Phoenix area desert courses. Will return for more.

Good conditions but mediocre staff

The Gold course was great. Fairway and greens were well maintained. Our only complaint is about the marshal/ranger. Before we even started he made a comment to myself and parents about ensuring we play at pace and to make sure we picked our ball up if we just couldn’t keep up. My parents and I are average but fast paced golfers as we finished our round in 4 hours and 15 minutes with a starting tee time of 11:40 am. We had to wait for the 4 men in front of us and wonder if the marshal said anything to them about their pace. We paid the same as every other group and don’t deserve the additional unnecessary comments from the marshal about how to keep pace.

Thank you,

Dr. Hutchinson

Great track

Although the pace of play was a bit slow it was a great layout with variable challenges of water and slope.
Larger trees can block view if you are wide on the generous fairways.
The greens were a nice speed and not overly fast but consistent and reasonable.
As a note some of the standing water was odorous and full of garbage which detracted from an otherwise excellent view. All in the Wigwam Resort is a must play and for the price it is a great value.

Always a favourite

Classy course with great amenities. Not your typical desert track. Nice to play on so much grass with big trees, this reminds me of northern courses.

Long and hard, but the greens are tough but consistent and the bunkers, fairways and tee boxes ( all even and level) are great.

It really does feel like a resort and the restaurant bar was bumping.

Slow play but great course

This was not a desert course so the greens, fairways, and roughs were all grass and in great shape. Played the golf course in afternoon and barely got done by dark. Play was in the 4:30 range.

First time on the Wigwam Gold Course

A decent value with the Golf Now Hot Deal. Not a $200 value. Greens were firm, leaving shallow, small indents which were difficult to repair due to extreme hard packed soil underneath. Bunkers were ok compared to 7 other area golf courses I’ve played this month. Fairways were patchy. Lots of water standing in any low area on the course; I guess water is not an issue here. Hoping that time will improve conditions. Playing the Gold Course again in Feb. BTW, I need to mention pace of play! On the back side we were able to see the group holding up play. WE WAITED ON EVERY SHOT - ALL DAY! The group 2 tee times in front of us was a par 5 and a par 4 behind!! Where was the course Marshall?! And they were all in golf carts! IMHO, “Grow the Game” should mean play with proper golf course etiquette, not “anything goes”! For instance, park golf cart in back of green (don’t casually amble back to cart which you’ve left parked in front of the green), don’t sit in cart waiting for your cart partner to hit and then drive 10-20 yards, slowly get out, take another 1-2 minutes to hit your shot (perhaps a wild miss sideways), slowly get in cart and drive another short distance and repeat the painfully slow preshot routine, putt out for a triple bogey or worse!, rake bunkers, repair even shallow ball marks (repair yours and another), keep up with the group in front of you, etc. Thanks for listening.

I am visiting the area as a guest from out of town. Since my arrival I've played wigwam gold twice and blue once. Christy in the pro shop was very welcoming each day and remembered me as a returning guest. Great service from all staff.

Great Course

The fairways and greens were fantastic. Many tee boxes so you can pick your poison. The traps are deep and difficult, but fair. I will definitely be playing this course again when I am in AZ.

Great course layout…greens unexpectedly slow

I love the design/layout. Plays shorter than the yardage as hitting fairways was rewarded with nice rollout. Pins were diabolical on a number of greens. Perhaps because the Patriot All-American event was just a few days off. That said, greens looked closely cut, but were very slow so rated course conditions as 4*.

As a new golfer it’s pretty challenging but you’ll enjoy the long drive holes.

Great Place for Golf

Greens were tight and fairly quick. Rough was a little long making it slightly more difficult. Overall the course is in fantastic shape!
