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.
