Wigwam Golf Shop One of the Best in U.S.


The Wigwam golf shop focuses on the latest trends in clothing and accessories, while featuring the golf equipment and hardgoods.

The Wigwam’s golf shop has been honored by Club + Resort Business as one of the “Top Ranked Private Club and Resort Pro Shops” for 2021 in the magazine’s December issue. 

The Wigwam’s golf shop is ranked as the 16th best in the United States, according to the golf industry trade publication, which covers the operations and management staff of country clubs, semi-private/daily fee, city clubs, yacht clubs and resorts that operate club-like facilities.

Submitted entries for Club + Resort Business’ Top Pro Shop ranking were judged independently by a panel of club professionals. 

The rankings reflect the judges’ scoring of data provided on statistics like the size of the pro shops and revenue categories.

Opened in 1929, The Wigwam is the only Arizona resort with three 18-hole championship golf courses — The Gold, The Blue and The Red. 

As such, Wigwam Golf caters to a diverse mix of play, including resort guests, member play from 500-plus members, and outside/daily-fee play, which makes up approximately 70% of total rounds. 

In addition, the club hosts numerous charity, junior golf and collegiate events throughout the year.

In 2019, The Wigwam’s golf shop was renovated with hardwood floors added, walls painted and small “concept shops” created within the shop.  

In creating the concept shops, The Wigwam partnered with major vendors including Adidas, Travis Mathew and FootJoy to brand the shop, offset costs and make shopping easier. Buyer and merchandiser Laura Saiki was brought on to merchandise the shop and order goods.
