Whirlwind Golf Club - The Cattail Course

This course was challenging and fun. Pace of play needs to be opened up more. Four person groupings caused the course to bottle up and slow down everything. It's a long course and 12 minute intervals with four players just doesn't work. We were a twosome paired with another couple, and having to wait for people in front of us the whole time. We were 20 minutes behind because of this.

Course was in great shape in a time of year most are overseeding, they have two 18 hole courses so they can keep one going while closing one. Will definitely play here again. Great price on the hot deal as well.

Don't see that very often. We let twosome play thru an early par 3. Standing just off the green, our threesome saw it happen the entire way. Cool.

BTW... The course was in great shape. I'll be back.

Course was in great condition for this time of year, and the greens rolled quite nicely. This could be a more challenging course layout if you choose the wrong tees or take unnecessary risks. But otherwise, a truly enjoyable course. I'll be back!

paid under $20 to play this course. I had to skip one hole because a foursome wouldn't let me play through. otherwise, it was a great value.

Course was in great shape. Pace was outstanding. Best of all the price was excellent. I will be back again

I played as part of a golf package through the Wild Horse casino hotel . A friend came up from Tucson. Right from the start is was a great experience. The breakfast was great and we went off as a two-some 30 minutes before our scheduled tee time. Beautiful condition, greens were above average in speed and putted true. Loved the whole experience.

Summer arête deal on Golfnow , very good deal for this course (Cattail). Coarse was in very good shape . Foursome is front of us slowed pace of play, despite push from the ranger .

From arriving to leaving, we had a great time. Course in great shape and fun.

Go play

Great for a resort course , I would not play in season there are far to many course in there price range that I like better.

Great Course but staff was clueless on the day we played:

1) No mention when we checked in that the range was open but hitting from the back, there was no one at the carts or anywhere to be found, we eventually figured it out.

2) As we are hitting a few balls on the range we are told we need to go to hole #9 (yes hole #9) immediately, but after some discussion he had our tee-time wrong.

3) After 1 hour 50 minutes we are finishing hole #17 (nine holes played) and told by ranger we are playing too slow and need to pick up our pace. We finished the 18 hole round in 3 hrs, 35 min.

The greens were exceptional and the fairways and rough were just as nice. For such hot weather and just plugging the greens the course was in great shape. Well worth the money.

Spend the extra money to play this course in the summer time. What an amazing track! We played the "Cattail" 18 and the layout is great. The par 3's have great variety, as do the 4's and 5's. This course does not disappoint!

first time playing here and i will be back!

played as a single most of the day, but joined a few guys at the end of one round.

finished the cattail course in just under 3 hours, so i decided to play devils claw too.

both courses were in great condition. greens rolled exceptionally well even though they must have been punched not too long ago.

during my 2nd 18 i ran into a couple slower groups and the course ranger came over to me and asked if i would like to jump up to number 10.

heck ya! he escorted me to #10 and i cruised thru the back nine. then he met me at 18 and escorted me back out to the front and told me they had gotten a little busier. no problem.

he jumped me in front of a 5some and away i went.

ALL the staff were top notch. the ranger made me feel like a VIP and i had a great time.

both courses were great and offered various yardages and really nice par 3's.

i will be back very soon!!!

Thoroughly enjoyed playing this course. It was very challenging but fun. The course is beautiful and in excellent condition. It's a troon course. Would definitely recommend the course and will play it again.

Super course and warm up facilities. Great condition...I think it's one of the top courses in Phoenix..if you get a chance to play either Whirlwind course you should take it!

This was the first course we played on our annual golf trip and it set the bar for the rest. You can always spot a Troon run facility - classy, well-run, immaculate conditioning, and a beautiful golf course. Even in May, we were amazed at how lush and green the course was. Couldn't find a brown spot on the course. The layout is great with a lot of memorable holes. It's a fair golf course and is a nice break from the desert, target-golf layouts in Arizona. Definitely a must play and for $60, it offers great value. We'll be back next year.

Played the Cattail course, which I had not played in over a decade. It's a better course than I remembered, with a good mix of strong, long holes as well as some shorter risk-reward option holes. There's nothing here terribly unique in the way of golf course architecture, but there are plenty of good holes.

Conditions were good, not quite 5 stars because the course was very wet in some areas. I hit a 9 degree driver, my drives should not plug when they land in the fairway, but that happened several times. Also, I was only in one green side bunker, but it was quite low on sand and very compacted. But most of the course had at least some bounce to it and the greens were nice and smooth and ran at a good, not too quick, pace.

Staff is excellent and the facility is beautiful and well kept. Hard to think anyone would be disappointed playing golf here.

They are a bit pricey at times, however never disappointed with the experience here

The course is in excellent shape and the staff was amazing. Enjoyed the experience.
