In the shadow of the desert and South Mountain Park
sits the four-pearl Legacy Golf Resort, best known for its golf course and golf-improvement
facilities. The 328 suites in this time-share property offer apartment-style lodgings and include kitchens or kitchenettes and balconies -- Condos also have whirlpool tubs. A pool, a hot tub, and outdoor facilities such as a volleyball court attracts families, while a spa and resort activities draws couples, the most common guests. There's also an on-site restaurant and three meeting spaces, but the facilities are a little dated. Travelers may also want to consider the Arizona Grand Resort, which has a waterpark and more
dining options.

Scene
Spanish mission-style time-share hotel that caters to couples and families
Housed in 12 separate Spanish mission-style buildings known
as “casitas,” this mission-style property has a long, rich history filled with stories of President
Teddy Roosevelt and Pancho Villa visiting the bunkhouse on the first tee of the
golf course. The grounds are green and feature many trees and planted flowers,
especially near the large water fountain in front of the lobby building. The
lobby is smallish, with a Southwestern vibe characterized by pale-pink
walls, iron chandeliers and light fixtures, and blue-and-white Spanish cross
tiles that decorate the wooden front desk. There are brown leather couches and
chairs clustered together to provide seating. It’s a warm atmosphere but one
that’s somewhat basic for a resort of this size. There’s a lodge-like atmosphere
to the restaurant, which has worn wooden tables and chairs with leather cushions, plus exposed wooden beams and worn brown carpet. Most guests are couples on a
romantic getaway, though with its family-friendly amenities, many people with kids stay
here too.
Location
Within driving distance to most attractions
Though the area is not hugely happening, there are some restaurants on surrounding streets that can be reached within a 10-minute walk. It takes a 13-minute drive to reach South Mountain
Park for an outdoors adventure, and business travelers should note that Phoenix Convention Center is a 13-minute drive
away. It takes 15 minutes by car to reach the Desert Botanical Garden and 17
minutes to reach the Phoenix Zoo. Salt River is only
a 14-minute drive from the hotel, while it takes 10 minutes by car to reach the
Pueblo Grande Museum and Archaeological Park. Scottsdale Fashion Square -- the
largest mall in the Southwest -- is 24 minutes away. And the Phoenix International Raceway is a 34-minute drive from the hotel. Phoenix
Sky Harbor International Airport is a 14-minute drive away.
Rooms
Southwestern apartment-style rooms with kitchens or kitchenettes and washer/dryers
Rooms at the Legacy Golf Resort have a Southwestern-style
made up of earth tones, Native American art, turquoise carpet, Spanish arches,
and wooden furniture that gives off a warm, inviting atmosphere. Though the decor
reflects the culture of the area, many items of the rooms are starting to look
a bit dated. The resort has three room options: Studio Suites and One or Two-Bedroom
Condos. The Condos are much larger and have full-size
kitchens rather than the kitchenettes found in the Studio Suites. Note that each Two-Bedroom
Condos is actually just a One-Bedroom Condo and a Studio Suite combined. All room
types have flat-screen TVs, DVD players, pullout sofas, and washer/dryers.
The kitchens and kitchenettes have stoves, ovens, refrigerators, microwaves,
and coffeemakers. Each unit has a balcony with two lounge chairs and a small
table. The bathrooms are a bit more
luxurious, with red earth-colored marble floors and sinks, while the Southwestern-style wallpaper maintains the personality of the rooms. Studio
Suites have shower/tub combos, while the Condos have separate whirlpool tubs and walk-in showers. Hairdryers and the Eartherapy brand of hotel toiletries are
provided. The biggest drawback of the rooms is that there isn’t daily housekeeping, though the service is available for a fee.
Features
Golf course, golf-improvement facilities, pool, hot tub, and resort events
The Legacy Golf Resort is best known for its par 71
championship 18-hole golf course. It also has a pro shop and a golf-improvement facility with a putting lab and an HD
simulator. For relaxation, there’s a luxurious outdoor pool deck that underwent
renovations in 2015. It includes a large pool, a children’s wading pool, and a
hot tub. The pool area is surrounded by lounge chairs, tables, and umbrellas, and there's a pool bar serving food and drinks. A modern spa offers the usual range of
massages and body treatments, and there’s a medium-sized fitness center with a
variety of cardio machines, weight-lifting machines, and free weights. There’s a number of features that encourage active
family fun, including outdoor shuffleboard, a sand volleyball court, tennis
courts, and a playground. The resort offers multiple
events and gatherings for adults, families, and children each month. The hotel’s signature restaurant, The Grille, dishes
out American comfort food at breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day, though the breakfast is not included in room rates.
The hotel also has a small bar serving cocktails, beer, and wine. There are three meeting spaces plus a public computer for guests to use and free Wi-Fi
throughout the property. On-site parking is free.
