Red Course
Scottsdale, USA
Red Course overview
One of The Wigwam’s most popular golf courses, the Red Course is a 6852 yard, par-72 layout designed by Arizona Golf Hall of Fame member and golf course architect Robert “Red” Lawrence. The course is known for providing golfers of all abilities a suitable level of fun and challenge with its wide tree-lined fairways and generous greens, complemented perfectly by the streams and ponds which meander throughout the course. The finish is tough, as holes 15 through 18 are considered one of the toughest stretches in the state.
Signature Holes
The Red Course doesn’t have a singular highlight hole, but the final four holes are often considered to be one of the toughest stretches in all of Arizona. It finishes with a monster par-5 that requires a right-to-left ball flight off the tee, followed by another two well-played shots to reach the green and leave yourself a chance of making a birdie or par.
Did You Know?
Designer Robert “Red” Lawrence also designed the Tubac Golf Resort in Tucson which is known for being the film-set for the Kevin Costner movie ‘Tin Cup’.
