The Wigwam

This BEAUTIFUL full service resort is the jewel in the desert. Locals frequent the place as much as visitors. Fine dining, beautiful grounds, elegant indoor/outdoor lounge for easy sipping while listening to local musicians out on the lawn. Swimming pools, two golf courses, a full service spa. Art shows, outdoor musicians/dancing on the front lawn, and more. Classy all the way. You need not check in to the resort to enjoy all of the amenities.

Can do almost anything here! Buy ONE service at the Red Door Spa and get ALL DAY access to whole spa (pool, sauna, meditation room, fireplace lounge, hot tub, etc.). One of the BEST deals around!

This Arizona treasure was established in the 1930s, a time when golf courses did not get built through dense housing developments, and certainly not with tight, target fairways. At the Wigwam, the golf courses have remained at the top of the list. This jewel of the desert is among the Southwest's last remaining golf resorts built for a pure golf experience. Canals, streams and lakes cascade through the journey. The shadows cast on greens and bunkers are from majestic parkland trees, not multi-story resort buildings.

The Wigwam's three 18-hole championship golf courses offer a diversity that cannot be matched by any other Arizona resort. Here, the golf enthusiast has their pick of not just one or two courses, but three 18-hole%2

The Wig Wam Resort is a sprawling complex west of Phoenix in Litchfield Park. It has old school charm, with adobe inspired architecture. There are 3 golf courses with 18 holes; there are 3 pools, tennis, a conference center, and 3 restaurants. It also has a full Elizabeth Arden Red Door spa,

The rooms are large, probably big enough to fit 8 King size beds side by side in a 2 x 4 format. The bathrooms are also large, with his and her sinks, separate shower cave fully tiled with a seat, large tub (but no jacuzzi spouts), and a walk-in closet. The furniture is large pieces of oak with a darker stain, and the colors are neutral sand and light cactus colors.

Most rooms have balconies or patios that usually face into the pool areas. The property is well manicured and maintained.

Wig Wam is a Starwood property (Sheraton, Westin, W Hotels, 4 Points) , and part of their higher end Luxury Collection brand. It is also an AAA 4 Diamond resort. However, in the summertime, starting early June, it is very affordable. The conference rate I was attending was less than $100, but even the general best available rate was less than $150. I am sure that high season for snow birds the rates jump to over $300.

As a full service resort, service is very good and everyone is very helpful and friendly. Parking is a little problematic, as you have designated areas and then walking to your room maybe a little distance. Of course they have full valet service, but self-parking is free.

There are a lot of Spa and Resorts in the Valley of the Sun, literally hundreds of them, like golf courses, too. But if you like old world charm with a southwestern flavor, in a relaxed subdued atmosphere away from the show-off upwardly mobile wanabees of Scottsdale or Phoenix, this is a good choice, especially if you like golf.

My family loves to play the Wigwam in Litchfield Park.

Arizona's finest!
