Whirlwind Golf Club - The Cattail Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Disappointed
We waited on every shot and never saw a Marshall the entire day . I’ve played here before and it was never this slow.
Great course
With the exception of one green that needs to be blown up, this course is one of the next values in the area. Great course, conditions, staff is excellent. Would play both Whirlwind courses regularly if I lived here.
Fantastic Arizona Golf
Whirlwind has 2 fantastic courses always in supreme condition. Practice facilities are top drawer. Staff are friendly and attentive. Recommend to anyone to play!
Great pace of play
This course had it all! One of the best in Arizona, hands down!
Must Play
Beautiful, interesting golf course.
The staff was unbelievably attentive.
Amenities were extremely clean and organized.
Will definitely play again!
cattail course
Course had not been open over the summer so this was the first week of play on this side. Greens were a little bit too slow for our liking but they will get them mowed down soon. Back nine got a little bit slow due to group in front of us having too good a time.
Beau parcours excellent service
Bel accueil, beau parcours, bon service, difficulté moyenne, excellent rapport qualité-prix
Service à la clientèle impeccable
Sur le terrain, avec une chaleur accablante, des petites serviettes humides et froides nous ont été distribuées. Compte tenu de cette chaleur accablante, un préposé du terrain s'est continuellement assuré que nous avions de l'eau.
Je crois que son nom était Steeve, quel service formidable !
Another great day on a Troon course
Course was in excellent shape for this time of the year and the greens ran true. We had the course to ourselves and finish just over 3 hours!
