Review of Wigwam Golf Resort & Spa

As a rewards member, I've been playing the Wigwam ...

As a rewards member, I've been playing the Wigwam Golf Club's courses for many years. Yesterday's conditions were different than I remember them ever being.

The Red course is my favorite by far, but the greens were less than what I'd expect from a nearly $100 round of golf. I could barely get my metal divot tool into the surface of the green, much less find a single ball mark on any of the greens. Short irons were literally bouncing into the air off the green and soaring over. My buddies ball even bounced into the air out of a bunker and landed on the green, point being there was no measurable amount of sand present.

Disappointed to say the least, especially considering I really do love this course layout. It's going to be awhile till I'm back out there. I'll change / update this review if and when the conditions improve. The greens need to be aerated and sanded badly, and the bunkers need to be filled. Also, please stop cutting the cups on hillsides. There were two holes yesterday where it was almost impossible to keep the ball near the hole because of the conditions of the greens.
