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 summer rate, nice course

Course was in great shape considering an aeration a couple of weeks ago. Greens were not too bumpy and rolled true. They were still doing some aeration in the rough on sides of some fairways but the staff was always considerate of golfers and stopping machines and staying clear. Pin placements on may greens on GOLD course were close to edges of greens which added some difficulty to many holes. Pace of play was excellent for my round. Great summer rate.

Welcomed by everyone but one

Had a great time through my round. The shop was stacked with great selection and fairly priced. The rate to play 18 holes was incredible. The only bad part about the course/play was how the gentlemen guiding us into tee 1 rushed us, kind of messed with everyone for the first three holes. Also made snide remarks about our play after we drove off first tee. Other than one rude employee i thoughrely enjoyed this course.

Pathetic

The slowest pace of play I’ve ever seen. I am 27 years old and have played the game for 20 years. It was embarrassing to play such a poorly managed 6 hour round. This course is better than the staff allows it to be. Get better

Course conditions

I like playing the gold course because of its layout. The course has been in much better condition than yesterday. The rough was especially in poor condition.

First time on Gold Course

I have played WigWam a couple of times when I lived closer. This is the first time I have played the Gold course and found it to be in good shape with very fast greens. There were a couple of things that made the course less attractive. The water feature on hole two was almost drained and there were a couple of holes that had some severely overgrown area's near greens. Overall the course was in really good shape and fun to play.

Wigwam Gold - 5/30/2023

Really nice course in good shape. A few bald patches on some fairways, but to be expected in Phoenix, and really not that bad. Otherwise, from tee to green, it was a delight to play essentially a parkland course in the desert.

Had a group of 4 ahead of us who were a little slow. Bear in mind I was playing with an 80+ year old vet, to give an indication of how slow the group were. We still finished in less than 4 hours, which some would argue is reasonable, but we still had to wait on virtually every tee.

Pro Shop is not well signposted, and is unfortunately hidden away but once you get through to the main area, everything is clearly laid out and marked.

Wigwam Gold course

I was kind of surprised to see the condition of the fairways on the gold course. They need a little work. Maybe they are transitioning to their summer grass. The day before we played Pebblebrook and theirs were in excellent shape.
The greens on the gold course were in fantastic shape. Lots of undulations and speed was very good. The tee boxes were also in good shape.
