The shortest of the Wigwam courses that requires accuracy hitting onto elevated and small greens. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Overall the course wias in very good condition except for the tee boxes. Many appeared to have not been mowed for a while and many had bare spots where players would typically tee their ball. Thie condition of the tee boxes was disappointing considering the reputation of the Wig,wam as a world-class golf destination. I give the course 4 stars overall

The course is a good track, but it needs some work to improve it. The practice area needs some improvements. The grass is in poor shape.. some areas were bare dirt. The tee boxes need improvement as well. A few were uneven, some had many bare spots, and they all needed mowing. The golf carts should all be retired! They’re gas powered and look to be 15 years old. Some of the seats had tears and all the windshields have been removed. Probably good for warmer weather but when it’s cold - it was when I played - it nice to have the windshield in place. The management needs to upgrade the whole fleet to electric carts. Now the good;?The fairways and greens were in very good shape, and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. All in all I would play there again, especially if improvements are made.

Played The Legend at Arrowhed for the first time the other day. It’s an Arnold Palmer designed course (although I’m not sure Arnie himself designed it or his company). Nonetheless, it’s a very nice course. Elevated tees, elevated greens ( I found the greens to be a bit smaller than what I’m used to playing; I think Arnie favored smaller greens), water (that comes into play frequently), and lots of bunkers (fairway & greenside). However, Some of them have been turned into wasteland so you don’t have to play them like a designated sand bunker. But there still are plenty of bunkers to contend with. And the course winds through a community so the fairways are a bit tight on some holes. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Two faults I found was that it seemed to me the fairways had been a bit overwatered. We encounter wet areas in the middle of the fairway on just about every hole. The fairways are mounded on some holes so the water collects in the low spots. But it really didn’t affect play. The other issue was the “rough” was a bit bare on a few holes. Not a huge issue but I believe the rough should be grass grown higher than the fairway. All in all I found the The Legend to be a nice course that can eat your lunch if you don’t play smart. But Arnie was a go for broke guy so there some good are opportunities for birdies out there. I’ll definetly play there again.

Arizona golf resort is a nice layout and you don't have to take out a loan for the green fees (unlike a few courses in the east valley that are WAY overpriced). The course was in great shape - the greens were quick but putted true - the staff was very friendly and our round took a bit less than 4 hours. It's not a very difficult course but most of the greens are smallish and elevated with some large bunkers so it will test your iron game. For visitors who are looking for a nice round of golf that won't cost an arm and leg I recommend they give the Arizona Golf Resort a try.
