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.

Impressive
The course is in excellent shape, the greens rolled true with nice speed and shuttle breaks which definitely gets you if you can't read breaks well. Great challenge, loved it and have re-booked already to play 36. Only fault was we couldn't,t get anything to eat after 5.

Solid course......................................
Challenging but fair
Several friends had recommended this course, and we were not disappointed... It was fun to play, challenging, but fair. We are hoping to play it again, at least once! With so many courses to chose from, we do not often want to repeat , but this is one that we would.
Great Course, marshal a little pushy
Would recommend course. However Our foursome played in under 4 hrs yet marshal was our case for taking 5 mins to pace out who had kp. Course was in great shape but the marshal ruined the last few holes
Great Course always in nice condition
Great Place to play two great courses, both are always in excellent shape, with good staff, bar, food facilities, etc...
Highly recommend this Troon Course
Very good course but a bit over price
Greens very good. Fairways good but divots not filled which seemed to be consistant. Pace of play was good . I paid 100 for twilight , too pricey for the overall value.
beautiful course
will play this again! the greens are beautiful, and the fairwaysare plush
will return soon
The condition of the course were amazing. And the views were outstanding. Challenging course for all levels.
Good Day!
The course was in good shape, some bumps on greens due to ball marks not being repaired.
Whirlwind
Course was beautiful and in great shape but greens a little hairy and difficult to read as they have many double and even triple tiered greens.my only true complaint was the length of the round which was an astonishing 5 hrs and 13 minutes to be exact!!!!
Cattail
Great quality layout. Outstanding practice facility. Pay attention to the grain of the greens because it will affect putts. Very slow up hill into the grain. Fairways and rough were so lush the ball just sits up like on a tee so beautiful it was unreal! Great place to play
Disappointed
We played as the group behind the Club Championship, the first nine holes took 3 hours, the 2nd nine was a little faster. The course was in good shape but when voicing our opinion and asking for a reason or explanation the golf pro in the golf shop said he couldn't help us at all because we didn't pay any money and to take it up with golfnow. Needless to say a good day with friends turned bad by someone who has ZERO customer service skills....
Best greens I've played in AZ
Booked on Golfnow and get a fairly good price.
The course was in good shape, but the greens were really exceptional. Pretty quick probably about 10, but very smooth and rolled true. They were fun to putt on and better than any of the other courses i've played this year on my stay in AZ.
I cant wait to go back!
A great layout for high and low handicaps alike!
I play here often and it never disappoints, the fairways are always perfect, the greens smooth without being insanely fast and we are always finished under 4 and a half hours. Anyone visiting Phoenix should stop and play one of these courses!
This course fits my eye
This is one of my favorite courses to play because of its condition, pace of play and freindlines of all staff. Thanks again for another great day.
Whirlwind
Very enjoyable course. We played Cattails and look forward to coming back to play Devil's Claw.
Great experience!
Great overall experience! Course was fair but challenging. Course was in great shape with smooth greens and perfect speed.
the cattail course is in great shape and is a wide open course
I really enjoyed play @ the cattail course there are no houses on the course just beautiful scenery and mother nature surroundings I also would like to recommend the Golf Now site for the best deals possible and the ease of booking a tee time and paying online just go out and Play!!
Great facility and golfing experience.
Very nice course and staff made it a great day for someone who just got off a long morning flight.
Course was in great shape after overseeding had set in so it looked beautiful and the greens were excellent. There was a big outing going out on the other course but the facility had plenty of staff and they took good care of us. Very professional and first class treatment from the bag drop, Pro Shop and the Grill.
Great course, lots of challenges, well kept up.
The conditions were soggy, great golf course, play only if
90 degree rule will be in effect. Large course with great desert setting.
