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.

Nice course
This was a vey nice course to play. Pace of play was well monitored. The only detraction was ground work or some type of new development being work just outside of the course boundaries.
Ultimate Course
This course was amazing! Grounds well kept, beautiful views, staff friendly and inviting! Played 18 holes on Catail and a reply on Devils. I can not wait to watch the LPGA on the golf station!
Great layout and conditions. Slow foresome ahead of us for most of the front nine at least a hole behind. Ranger addressed the problem with the offenders and place of play improved dramatically. Very enjoyable day
Great course, great round, loved the pace of play
Great course, first time played. Playing the other side on Saturday. Cattail will be tough to beat
Great
Everything about the course was great! Keep it up whirlwind team!
Perfect day
Great day on the course. Staff was super friendly. Plenty of room on the driving range and practice green played just like the course. Round was a little slow for what seemed like a quiet day out there (4Hours) but plenty of nice views to check out while you wait. Played Cattail - would like to check out their other course next time.
Stuck behind an eight some.
Pretty typical desert course. Very few holes that are memorable.
Conditions just ok. Not bad. Just not awesome.
Pace of play is absurd. We were stuck behind a group of 8! No marshalls helping with pace of play and we say another hole that also had 8 (or more players). That group didn’t impact our pace of play but it shows that they are not taking care of their guests.
No intention to ever return. Too many nice places to play to need to need to out up with this. If you need to finish your round in a timely fashion - I recommend you look elsewhere.
Whirlwind Cattail
Our go to course in the Phoenix metro area. Can't go wrong playing here. We need off at 1:30 pm on a sunny Thursday afternoon and were done in 3.5 hours. Just a fabulous course.
