Whirlwind Golf Club - The Cattail Course

Cattail is pretty and playable, with lots of green around the greens, but still enjoyably challenging. If you want blind tee shots and approaches and 3 or more tiers per green, play the companion course, Devil's Claw, but make sure Steve Williams is on the bag. That's a no thank you for me.

This is a resort in the middle of the south metro desert. It has beautiful and extensive practice areas. I'm not a big fan of resorts, and I haven't stayed there, but overall this is really well done. Lovely clubhouse, nicely sited.

Played at 2pm on Wednesday in 4.25 hours. Weather was perfect, so I didn't mind a slower afternoon round. Paired with locals which helped because course knowledge is important on certain holes. Greens were running around 10, and the fairways were in great shape. Overall a very nice course.

Facilities are above average as noted in my ratings. Teed off promptly on the Catclaw course at 1:03, but the pace was just so so at a 4 1/2 hr. round. We were very happy to pay $70 each to play a quality resort such as Whirlwind.

Course was in excellent shape. Greens were smooth and nice pace.(not scary fast but nice) This is a very nice desert golf experience. Some course are more scenic, another nice troon experience. kind of pricey but we got a deal online.

Another great az golf experience but it was spoiled by super slow play and nobody did anything about it. I'm starting to think that a person should stay away from resort courses since they all seem to have high prices and super slow play. Only saw one ranger and didn't see him until late in the round.

Course was in good shape, interesting layout and challenging. However, we complained about slow play but nothing was done about it.

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......................................

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.

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 Place to play two great courses, both are always in excellent shape, with good staff, bar, food facilities, etc...
Highly recommend this Troon Course

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.

will play this again! the greens are beautiful, and the fairwaysare plush

The condition of the course were amazing. And the views were outstanding. Challenging course for all levels.

The course was in good shape, some bumps on greens due to ball marks not being repaired.

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!!!!

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

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....

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!

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!
