Resort Experience:
RCI was correct in giving The Legacy Golf Resort in Phoenix, Arizona, a Gold Crown Rating.
The championship golf course is in fantastic condition, and the grounds of the resort are immaculately maintained. It’s hard to believe, but during all of our stay, we did not see a single weed in any of the grassy areas. Flowers and other colorful foliage are everywhere. The resort is divided into clusters of two-story units (casitas), with each cluster surrounding a small manicured courtyard. Small waste disposal bins take the place of unattractive dumpsters.
All units at Legacy are non-smoking units. Our two-bedroom unit (actually a large one-bedroom unit with a separate lockout) was one of the most beautiful we have seen. The unit was spotless and contained many, many amenities that are rarely seen at other resorts. The A and the B sides of our unit had 9-foot ceilings, a king-size bed, a washer/dryer, double sinks (the A side actually had three sinks), a glass shower enclosure, and a (8’x12’) covered patio of a good size. The master bath featured a large whirlpool tub, and all bathroom areas had what appeared to be marble sinks and marble floors. A plush throw rug took the place of the usual towel-type bathmat. The hallways and kitchens had ceramic-tile flooring. Arches in the hallways and a tile kitchen counter added a Southwestern flair. Our two-bedroom unit had SIX telephones (including one in each bathroom), and three TV’s offering HBO and over 70 cable channels. Pads and pens were provided by the phones, and even the phone books had leather covers! The resort also provided a daily newspaper for each guest. The furniture was definitely high end . . . no "squishy" sofas here.
The staff was focused and professional. We saw no staff members "horsing around," and the two items in our unit that required maintenance (a defective door lock and a non-working remote for one of the TV’s) were repaired within 10 minutes of our call.
Besides the golf course, the resort has a reasonably priced restaurant; several pools; an exercise room; and facilities for tennis, volleyball, and shuffleboard, as well as a children’s play area. There is a full weekly compliment of activities for all ages. If that isn’t enough, the huge indoor Arizona Mills Mall is only a short drive away.
If you are able to get availability at The Legacy Golf Resort, you will not be disappointed.
