Reviews of Wigwam Golf Courses
GOLFADVISOR.COM
• “Robert Trent Jones Sr.’s Gold course is the best of the trio, with the Blue course playing to 6,000 yards and the Red course no slouch, either, at 6,852 yards, featuring four of the toughest finishing holes in the valley. A 2015 renovation by Tom Lehman eliminated more than 30 bunkers on the Gold to make it more enjoyable.” – (The best golf resorts in Phoenix, Arizona)
• “Golfwise, all 54 holes at The Wigwam resort are parkland, not desert golf, which makes for a nice contrast to the area’s superb desert golf courses. Secondly, the entire resort has been renovated, much of it back to its historical roots, which go back almost a century.” – (Find Your Game In and Around The Wigwam)
• “If you’re looking for desert golf, this isn’t your resort. But if you want a change a pace, the three parkland courses at The Wigwam, including the recently renovated Gold Course, provide a tantalizing option. Celebrating its 50th year, the Robert Trent Jones-designed Gold is simply a solid test of golf, sans excessive bunkering or tricky holes.” – (Mike Bailey’s “Top 10 Golf Destination Experiences of 2015”)
• “Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. (Patriot is also RTJ) and updated by Tom Lehman, the Gold really is pure gold with a smattering of strategic bunkers, water, doglegs, plenty of pines and eucalyptus trees — and lots of memorable holes.” – (Top Public Golf Courses in the Phoenix/Scottsdale Area)

• “For the Fiesta Bowl, head to The Wigwam resort, home to 54 holes and one of the West Valley’s better bargains. Wigwam’s Gold Course, a Robert Trent Jones Sr. design, just reopened after a renovation by Tom Lehman. No desert target golf here; fairways are wide on this classic routing.” – (The top 10 college football bowl game and golf course combinations in the sun)
