Parts
of this "old-style" layout date to the 1930's,
when the toddler Wigwam resort boasted the only golf
west of Phoenix; in the late 1950s Robert Trent Jones
Sr. polished up the twentysomething, crafting "a
short gen" that's "enjoyable" for lightweights;
heavy hitters sing the blues over the "oftentimes
boring" track that's "nothing special"
compared with its "incredible namesake hotel. |

"if
a traditional-looking course is to your liking",
the strong bunkering and "elevated, volcano-like
greens" might have you hailing this "longstanding
great" design by longstanding great Robert Trent
Jones Sr. as "the best open to the public on the
west side" of Phoenix; newfangled foozlers who
find the "toughest of the three" at Wigwam
to be "nice but not spectacular" suggest that
"time has passed it by" and it's lost its
glitter. |

Across
the raod to the west of its cousins, this mid-'70s layout
is named for its architect, Red Lawrence, who designed
some desert winners; despite a challenging closing stretch,
however, this traditional, tree-lined flatty serves
up only "so-so golf"; better to skip the round
and go straight for the "great facilities",
including the innovative Arizona Kitchen restaurant
at the adjacent hotel. |
