The Wigwam Resort offers more quality golf than any resort in the region. It's the only resort in Arizona that offers 54 holes on three challenging golf courses within its own property

A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY

Little did Henry Ford know when he started mass-producing automobiles that his actions would inadvertently create a legendary, award-winning resort, The Wigwam. When Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company discovered that cotton extended the life of the tire, the company purchased 16,000 acres of land in 1916 to begin cultivating. In 1918, Goodyear built a private company lodge for visiting executives. It wasn't long before many of these visitors realized this to be an unsurpassed vacation destination and fondly dubbed the lodge, "The Wigwam." The facilities expanded to accommodate 24 guests and opened to the public in November 1929. A portion of the original structure remains as the cornerstone of the resort's authenticity and southwestern charm. Considered one of the premier golf resorts in the country, The Wigwam has earned numerous accolades and awards including the prestigious Mobil Four Star and AAA Four Diamond Awards.

THE GOLF COURSES

THE GOLD COURSE, measuring nearly 7,200 yards, was designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. The most famous of The Wigwam courses, the Gold Course has been consistently rated as one of the top resort courses in the nation, earning Golf Magazine's Silver Medal Award and one of the top resort courses in Arizona by Golf Digest. It offers nearly twice the acreage as most desert courses built today and features elevated greens, narrow landing areas, elongated tees and strategically placed bunkers and water hazards.

THE BLUE COURSE, also designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., plays to 6,112 yards and roughly follows the hole routing of The Wigwam's original course. Although shorter in length than the Gold Course, the Blue course is just as challenging. Scoring well requires pinpoint accuracy and a strong understanding of golf strategy. Elevated greens with classic Jones bunkering will challenge your short game.

THE RED COURSE at 6,861 yards, is The Wigwam's most modern design. It was created by local golf legend Robert "Red" Lawrence and offers players an open, airy layout that is dotted with numerous lakes, rock filled creeks, and gigantic greens, with four finishing holes known to offer an exceptional challenge.

The Bird Golf Academy is the official golf school of the Wigwam Resort.
