Both courses are traditional desert layouts. Although Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish designed both, each has its own separate, distinct personality. Each layout allows fair shot selections and challenging strategic planning for all skill levels of golfers by using five sets of tees and stretching the yardages from roughly 7,000 yards for championship golfers and 4,980 for women and children. Lush superbly kept bent grass greens and tightly mown hybrid Bermuda fairways are the normal playing conditions all year long.

Opened in 1990, The Monument Course presents challenges for the pros, as well as an enjoyable experience for the average golfer. Wide fairways wind through lush desert vegetation, natural washes, and towering saguaros. The desert frequently comes into play, yet the course will not remind you of a target course. In fifteen short years, The Monument has accumulated a vast array of awards and honors. One of only a hand full of courses in the United States, The Monument can boast rankings of top 25 by Golfweek, Golf Digest, and Golf Magazine.

Opened in 1996, The Pinnacle Course at Troon North quickly gained a reputation for excellence. Many consider it a much tougher test of golf than the older Monument Course. Built around dramatic granite boulders and striking elevation changes, The Pinnacle Course features a more traditional desert layout with tighter landing areas and spectacular carries over desert washes. Boulders and desert hills hide portions of some fairways, making approach shots more difficult. Huge greens surrounded by large bunkers and sloping terrain challenge golfers on every approach shot. Like its sister course, The Pinnacle Course is well honored, having received the distinction of being ranked as one of the top 50 courses by Golfweek, Golf Digest, and Golf Magazine.

When you complete your challenge on one of the courses, you can rest and relax inside your generously appointed guest room at the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale. Each of the 210 guest rooms and suites maximize the dramatic Scottsdale surroundings with private, generously sized balconies or patios. Inside your spacious abode, you will find the ultimate comforts that distinguish the Four Seasons Brand from all other resorts.

The Wigwam Resort golf courses recently completed a $5 million renovation on two of its three championship courses. Forrest Richardson, a golf course architect with numerous classic restorations to his credit, oversaw the enhancements of the courses originally designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr.
At more than 7,600 yards and par-72, locals and travelers alike affectionately bestowed the moniker of the “Arizona Monster on The Gold Course. Jones original conception of The Gold Course was of a western rival to his famous South Course at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio. The Wigwam’s Gold Course is a long and winding layout that can be brutal to the player who has not brought their “A” game. Great golf holes with numerous tee offerings allow the golfer to choose the degree of risk they are willing to experience. Many native topographical features remain unchanged throughout the design, creating stealth-like hazards, interesting scenes, and challenging shot values. Richardson masterfully preserved the creative and authentic feel of Mr. Jones’ concept of “heroic strategies” within the course’s redesign.

The Golf Course’s sister, The Blue Course, underwent considerable changes, including a complete reconstruction of two holes. Described as tricky and subtle, The Blue Course plays to a length just over 6,000 yards, but at a par of 70, creating a deceiving test of golf. Deep and perilous bunkers, ponds, and dogleg fairways provoke exacting strategies and your full attention.

Wigwam Resort’s Red Course is a Red Lawrence creation. His work at the Wigwam is a complement to The Gold and Blue Courses. With a length in between its two siblings, The Red plays alongside and over streams and ponds. Set among a forest of pines and eucalyptus that wind through part of the Wigwam’s exclusive estates development.

A new feature of the Wigwam Resort is the newly expanded Red Door Spa. You can choose from one of the private treatment rooms located within the new 26,000 square foot facility, as well as the many therapeutic menu items featured.

The Wigwam Resort’s adobe-style accommodations are a special experience. Private and oversized, the casitas and suites provide a relaxed, yet luxurious ambiance in which to enjoy the ideal Arizona getaway. Set amidst rows of colorful flowers, lush lawns, and towering palms, you will find a charming village setting of 331 adobe-style casitas ranging from 480 to 612 square feet, providing quiet and privacy for every guest.

The Wigwam Resort’s culinary experience is as unforgettable as the resort’s ambiance; casual and contemporary, regional and refreshing. From a poolside burger or savory southwestern nacho to indulgent, award-winning cuisine, as well as casual fare overlooking the resort’s lush fairways, The Wigwam offers a sumptuous variety of choices.

A tried and true Arizona resort location, The Wigwam Resort will dazzle you with its respect for history, its dedication to ultimate service, and its constant striving to offer the best golf resort experience in the greater Phoenix area.
