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.

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!
Worth the drive
Course was in great shape for the summer conditions. Greens were soft but rolled true.
Interesting day
Course conditions were excellent. Benefit to being on the rez and having unlimited water. Greens perfect. Fast. Smooth. Held pretty well also. Starter was unfriendly which was a surprise but staff overall was solid. Cart lady every 6 holes, basically perfect.
Pace of play was miserable.
But here’s the asterisk.
There was a junior girls tournament on the course, about 7-8 groups. By the 5th hole we caught up. No where to go. Front nine was just over 2 hours. Back nine was just over three.
I get it, it’s kids and i encourage that. Ya played JR golf my whole life, but at the end of the day, you are still responsible for the pace of play on the course. It was a rare 95 degree day, otherwise i would have been furious.
Nobody really acknowledged the problem, and i went i to the clubhouse to complain, but it seems that the only person was one of the bag guys, and there was no chance he was the one making the decisions.
For review sake, great golf conditions
Cattail at Whirlwind
It was a great day at the course. The course was in good condition. The greens were still recovering from being punched but were almost back to normal so they were okay. The fairways were in great condition. We had a great day. Definitely will be back to play again.
Punched & Rough
Love this place. Always have and always will love W2 but…..
This time around the greens were punched seems like 14+ days ago. Unfortunately, the greens were bumpy & rough. One of the few times the greens were in bad shape.. almost automatic 2 putt territory (greens lacked water to fully recover after that many days punched?). Fairways a bit dry for obvious reasons, water shortages + 115 F days = no bueno fairways & greens.
This said I wish I would of spent my 70 bucks at Troon North which is in pristine condition right now!!
Not impressed
We played your course just 3-weeks ago and it was spectacular from tee to greens so when my wife saw Cattail was opening we jumped on the chance
Received an email (thank you by the way) that it wasn’t quite ready and you honored our same time to play Devils Claw
Just playing it 3-weeks ago we were fine, apparently you had mowed Devils Claw down to start working on it and it was not playable fairways were horrendous, tee boxes average green were good
Needless to say worth half what we paid 3-weeks ago very frustrating
Fun round
Generous landing areas off the tees.
Course in great condition
Greens were true and a perfect speed.
All in all a fun round.
