Whirlwind Golf Club - The Cattail Course
About
Whirlwind Golf Club features 36 holes across 242 acres. Wild horses and native beasts roam the landscape - so don't let them drag you away. While just 12 miles from the metropolis of Phoenix, Whirlwind Golf Club's Cattail Course takes golfers to a secluded and scenic environment, where desert tranquility and beauty is a silent playing partner throughout.
Gary Panks designed the courses at Whirlwind Golf Club. The par-72 Cattail measures 7,222 yards and beings on Arrow Shot, a par-4 413 yarder; the South Mountain Range's canyons will guide you, but shoot straight. Things get long on Two Mesquites, the second hole, a par-5 517 yarder, which does feature Mesquites, a staple for the Gila River Indian Community, used in construction, medicine and food.
Finish up on Last Hole, a par-4 450 yarder that offers a good test to close on, as it is the course's most demanding to drive.

Excellent as always.
This course is such a great value during the summer. Always in very good condition. Range and practice areas are very spacious. Staff always friendly. We had a burger after round and I have to say one of the biggest and best course burgers I've ever had. Very nice experience
Another super experience
Another amazing day of golf at whirlwind , this course never disappoints. The conditions are amazing , especially considering it’s summer in the desert . The maintenance crew is doing an amazing job getting this course ready for us golfers . Greens are full smooth, and the ball rolls as they should . First , second and even third cut at the Greens apron is done with expertise. This course is a joy to play … I highly recommend it
Amazing Shape
tip of the cap to the staff at Whirlwind: Cattail is in incredible condition. The fact that it's in this kind of shape in August, in Phoenix - remarkable.
Fantastic
Cattail from tee to green was spectacular. The course conditions, layout and service are top notch. Saw the beverage cart twice on the front and course marshal throughout the round with cold towels. Excellent experience and look forward to going back.
Whirlwind never disappoints
I love playing this course, always in great shape, staff is very friendly.
Greens are in great shape, sand in traps.
Outstanding course
The over all condition of this course is outstanding , especially considering it is summertime . The maintenance of the course , fairways bunkers, cart paths , even the roughs was excellent . The greens are firm and tight and the ball rolls true . The pace of play was excellent ,and the staff was friendly . I highly recommend this course
Always a great time
Course was in good shape! Greens on cattail were way better than expected based on recent reviews. Firm, fast, but receptive. Couple bald spots here and there in fairways but no biggy. 4 holes into the round I was already looking forward to coming back.
Course was in good shape but the pace of play was bad. 5 hour round
Great Resort Course
We always wanted to pay Whilrwind Cattail course, they they play the LPGA. Golf Now had a really great Hot Flash price, so we got to play the course. This is a really nice resort course. Fairways were generous and very playable. The greens were well protected and in great shape. It was not an easy course, but from the white tees, it was fair and playable. Highly recommend either course.
Great Tracks
Cattail and Devil's Claw each have their pros and cons. The biggest pro for Devil's claw is that the holes tend to be more diverse and more strategy is required with your tee shot selection. Cattail is gettable if you can keep a long drive in the fairway, but miss a green and you're faced with some challenging slopes around the greens.
as of 516 course was punched in many areas and conditions were dry and firm, not good at all even not on greens. Not worth 110+ $
Great course. A bit dry.
Aerating around perimeter of the greens has dried out this area. Greens are fast and firm. Course is great to play.
