Wigwam Golf Club in Litchfield Park, Arizona, will begin a four-month bunker renovation on its Red Course starting on July 5. The layout is scheduled to remain open through the summer as work is completed, and it will be temporarily closed for seasonal overseeding in late September.

The Red is one of three courses at the public-access Wigwam, which operates three courses and a resort just west of Phoenix. Originally named the West Course when it opened in 1974, it was renamed in the late 1980s in honor of two men: the club’s longtime professional, V.O. “Red” Allen, and the course’s architect, Robert “Red” Lawrence. The other two courses at Wigwam, the Gold and the Blue, were designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr.

The bunker work to the Red, set to wrap up in October, will be a collaboration by Pro Turf International and Wigwam ownership group JDM Partners. The 44 fairway and greenside bunkers will be excavated and rebuilt with Capillary Concrete, a system that controls water flow through the base of the sand and minimizes washouts. The course’s current tan sand will be replaced with white sand.

Wigwam did similar work on its Blue Course in 2016 and its Gold Course in 2015.
