Played as single with three other golfers. All average to high handicap casual players. Tee times spread out and had no waiting on front nine despite being cart path only. Unfortunately, backed up at the turn and was the fourth group on the tee at number 10, all because a foursome stopped for food at the restaurant and then came back out to resume play. Still played in 4 hours on a Sunday. Relatively easy short course but good conditions and was worth the money.

I expect play to be slow after overseed and with cart path only. What I don't expect is to tee off and have someone drive up and say "they told me to join you" making our walking foursome a fivesome with a cart. 2 hours and 45 minutes for the front nine was enough for me so I walked off the course. Typical Sun City course.

It actually looked like a fun course to play-
Staff was very friendly from cart barn, to pro shop-
No starter, no marshal, no fun- I was in a two-some playing behind a two-some behind a 4 some of beginners , behind another foursome behind a five some-
On the 5th & 6th holes you could see everyone, including the group behind us waiting on the 5th tee for us waiting on the two some and 4some in front of us all waiting to tee off- I played the 6th hole and drove in-
Wont be back-too slow

My round was fine but Golf Now needs to fix their system. Twice a day for the last two weeks I have been sent the same e-mail and asked to review the same round- I reviewed it the first time- fix your system Golf Now!!! this is annoying

As is usually the case with the Wigwam- 3 courses yet always overbooked- no place to park, inattentive outside cart staff- (inside pro-shop staff very friendly)- starter helpful but then no ranger- We saw a High handicap Two-some that played from tips and waited for every green to clear only to hit it 180 yards off the tee-or slice it 220 yards right and 2 fairways over- and that was after we got to pass the 6 some of teenage beginners. Everyone has to start somewhere and apparently its the Wigwam on a weekend.

First time playing this course. Excellent practice facilities to warm up. Layout was open and fair , course was in good not great condition but that was more time of year than anything else. Perhaps their over seed didn't come in as well as they wanted. Greens in good shape, the only negative about course conditions are the bunkers. They should be redone for drainage and sand should be added. Staff inside and outside were friendly and helpful.
Would play this course again.

Finally using up some legacy free rounds (Mon-Thurs after 12 noon only)- Naturally very few players on the course that time of day so pace of play was excellent- Course was in great shape and there are plenty of water stations. Beverage cart found me 4 times to make sure I was okay- Outside service staff (Jack) was awesome- Inside pro shop staff could use a little more customer service training or he was simply having a bad day

Despite heavy rains 2 days before, the course was in excellent condition from tee to green with no standing water like many of the other area courses. Starter always does a great job keeping groups on time and pace of play was perfect for the first 13 holes then backed up as it always does on #14 and #15. Greens are fast but true if you know how to read them.

Hopefully under new ownership course conditions will improve. This used to be in great shape but currently needs just a little work to return to what it was.
Pace of play was slow due to group of "volunteers" using their last punch cards for free play.

Great value. Very Friendly and helpful staff. Greens slower than what I'm used to but in excellent condition. Back nine requires precise placement of tee shot to set up approach. Played as twosome at noon. Finished in 3 1/2 hours with a break at the turn to load up on ice and beverages. No beverage cart service on Wednesday afternoon but plenty of drinking water on the course

Although the course was in transition from winter grass to summer it was still in good shape. Played the Blue Course on Friday and the Gold Course on Saturday. All Staff we encountered were excellent. From staff taking care of clubs, to inside the pro shop or outside service and beverage cart, all employees were helpful, courteous and friendly. The Wigwam either hires correctly or has a good training program.

Pulling in to parking lot it looked a little sketchy even without the signs warning you about leaving valuables in car.
That being said the resort course lived up to its name. Tee boxes and fairways in excellent shape. Greens a bit grainy and slow but overall rolled smooth. Front nine pace was outstanding and would have been for the entire round had it not been for the 3 slow groups we caught up with on the tenth hole. First time playing and would play it again next time we come to Palm Springs. Did have a $20 hot deal discount through Golfnow which made it a great value for the money.
