Whirlwind Golf Club - The Cattail Course

Our top 5 favs in Phoenix/Scottsdale area include Troon and Boulders. Very nice course, great condition, carts have GPS. Pace of play great around 4 hrs. Nice clubhouse/restaurant, but closed at 5. Look for a hot deal just over 100 around 1. Close to Premium outlet and airport.

This is a very nice course. A beautiful course in the middle of the desert!

My friends and I were in Phoenix area for a weekend vacation. Whirwind Cattails golf course was a great find on golfnow. Everything from the restaurant on-site to the driving range to the course conditions were awesome! Very friendly staff and very good pace of play. The course layout is beautiful and very scenic. The carts have GPS and range balls are included. The practice facility is outstanding. I can not say enough about the staff. Mike in the pro shop was very welcoming and the starters were equally as nice. Thank you Whirlwind for a relaxing and exciting golf experience in Phoenix!

Course was in great shape. Not sure it or any public course is worth over $150 but got a sweet deal at $40 in the afternoon. Played 16 holes. I would only play again if i had a deal

Beautiful course, very well maintained, green fast and true. Played 18 in under 4 hours, condition of the course was excellent. A little pricing but if your looking to treat yourself for a day, this would be a great place to go

Everything about Whirlwind is Great. Worth the drive

I have been wanting to play these courses (Cattail & Devils Claw) and though I found the course to be in good condition and somewhat challenging for the same value or less, I have played others in the area that were much more scenic, perhaps I will try Devils Claw and it will impress me more.

Golf in the Valley of the Sun. Desert courses are offered at an almost exponential level. The very best are memorable and you will pay no small amount to have that experience. But the courses that are, let's say, second tier courses like those at Whirlwind, provide almost nothing truly memorable. That is not to say that they aren't good tests, as they surely are. They just are not particularly compelling, nor memorable, certainly not when one is spending over $125/150 just to tee it up.

Living in Scottsdale allows one to be somewhat discerning about where to play and when. Golf Now and to a much lesser degree, TeeOff.com, have made it so that when one has flexibility of time, rates to play become much more palatable. Even so, with such a range of great courses (and that includes a quick drive down to Tucson or up to Sedona or Prescott), playing Whirlwind at any time other than in the Summer when the rates are more in line with the experience makes little sense to me. Moreover, when anyone I know is heading from the wintry north to our warm environs, I can literally think of at least 15 other courses I would point them in the direction of...

Greens were running fast and the course was in excellent condition. Five tee boxes allowed for varied skill levels. Staff were welcoming and attentive. Only complaint was the pace of play...5 hours.

Lush course conditions, for sure. Course interesting and well laid out. Pace of play good on a weekday afternoon. I walked, so If you also walk, prepare to hustle a bit on many holes with a fair amount of distance from green to tee. Greens were not overly fast, but smooth. Practice areas very nice. Good expierence overall!

I played WhirlWinds Cattail and the course is excellent. Challenging course with a lot of tough holes and great views. I forget what hole we were on but my group had seen a wild group of mustangs running in the background of one of the par threes. One of the coolest experiences I have had specifically on a golf course. Great service and an excellent value for winter rates inn Golf Now.

The only negative thing I’d say is that I booked Cattails on golf now, but the pro shop said I was on devil’s claw. It was my first time on either, so I didn’t make a fuss about it. Devil’s Claw was a really fun course, with decent elevation changes and near perfectly maintained fairways. The greens were really fast, which counterbalanced the somewhat spacious fairways. It was a beautiful course. I’ll definitely be a regular here.

The course is a great layout and the staff is very helpful. Course was in good condition, but soft. Had to clean mud of every fairway shot. This made the course play long.

Golfing at Whirlwind Golf Club on the Cattail course was fabulous. I played the the final day of a week-long conference. The spectacular views all around the track were quite distracting at times, but I chalked this up to my first visit. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my solo round and I look forward to returning.

The course was in great condition for this time of year. It is a very challenging course as the par 3's are fairly long and may have a bunker in front of the green. Time of play was 4 hr 10 minutes. Facilities are excellent.

Greens were great, fairways clean for the whole track. I have played both Whirlwind courses now and Cattail was great. Devil's Claw is fun, but Cattail was best all around. Excited to play it again.

Having only experienced this course for the first time earlier this summer, this course is quickly becoming one of my favorites. The course has an interesting layout, the fairways and greens are always in top condition and it is not so severe as to punish a few poor shots. The clubhouse and the general upkeep of the course surroundings are definitely upscale, yet tasteful for the area. The course is worth the trip and the extra bump in the summer rates.
