Whirlwind Golf Club - The Cattail Course

Played the Cattail course.

The range was in good condition, the putting and chipping green were excellent. It was nice that the putting green was the same speed as the greens on the course, that is an overlooked detail on far too many courses in phoenix.

The course itself couldn't of been in better condition for august. The course itself is moderately challenging, most of the trouble of the tee - all you need to know is Gary 'fairway bunker' Panks was the designer.

Pace of play was disappointing for teeing off at noon, but when you have some of the best conditions in the valley, probably can just pencil that in.

Played in Phoenix and this is my first time at Whirlwhind, but I'll definitely come back again in the future. Well routed course that rewards good shots and offers numerous options off the tee to score well. Pace of play was excellent (under 4 hours at 10am on a Friday in August) and course was in very good shape.

Great day of golf and got to play a little cards on the way home. I'll be back there before the summer is over!

The course is in very good condition. There are some repair areas around some of the greens but that is it. You wont be disappointed.

The staff are very helpful, the course is immaculate, tees, greens and fairways are like carpet. Played Cattail, front nine is easier, the back nine is longer.

A very good course - always in good condition The fairways were excellent - not a bad lie and the greens were good considering the middle of a hot summer

Fairways and greens in excellent shape. Green speed the same on all greens. Thick grass on fairways which results in no mud balls, even though they are cut short. Not many tight lies.

The course is more than I typically pay, but worth the money. It was a good time, great shape and they services were excellent!

I had an early tee time (Fast Play) and it didn't disappoint. The greens were a little bumpy and slow. But the rest of the course was in great shape.

This is the best course I have played in several months here in Arizona. It was in immaculate condition, the staff was very friendly. I have been telling my golf buddies about the course and the experience. One of them went up there and played it today

played the cattail.. course is in excellent condition.. well manicured aprons around the greens.. 1 of the best maintained courses I played on a 12 day May/June golf trek

course was in great condition for june in phoenix. fun course to play. staff is great, excellent practice facility

The fairways were in excellent condition and the greens very well maintained. The pace of play very good for a Sunday afternoon.

I have played this course 3-4 times now, I am impressed with how well maintained they are able to keep this course, even in the extreme summer heat. The fairways give ample room for your drive, but you will pay a price for wayward drives. Approach shots are challenging due to strategically placed bunkers, and varying elevations. The best part of the course to me are the greens. They are impecabbly maintained, and roll true! A slight mis-read and the putt is missed!

I Love playing these courses (Cattail and Devils Claw), I will surely play as often as I can.

the course condition was what you would expect from a 100dollar plus greenfee course. greens,fairways and tee boxs were good.Even though the staff was friendly you seemed to get the idea they thought they were doing you a favor to let you play their course.I have seen this attitude at several of the courses managed by this company

Fairways were lush. Some spots mushy, but not too bad, especially since the cushy green coverage was excellent. Greens were soft and medium speed, in great shape, rolled true.

Cartgirl was seen often, pace of play was great because they only put out tee times every 10 minutes. Rarely had to wait.

2 women and 2 men in our foursome, and the front tees were positioned often in a place where the women could already be there waiting to hit after we played the golds.

Not a fan of the sand, was very wet and compact in some bunkers, but at lleast the practice bunker was typical. Great short game and practice area, unlimited balls to hit, and they were in good shape not split or so worn out they were missing dimples.

Good food in the grill.

Course was in very good shape from tee to green. (Albeit a bit soggy from a little overwatering of the chicken manure fertilizer that was being applied. Yes, twas a bit ripe on the back nine!)
Fairways are relatively wide and forgiving. Greens medium sized with moderate undulations and some subtle breaks near the cups. Maybe it was just where I placed shots, but it felt that every approach shot to the green I had to carry a bunker with the pin placed strategically behind it. I played from the Gold and my wife from the Jade tees. Different "looks" of landing areas from different tees on each hole - Gold tee appeared to be a very tight landing area, but Jade tee you could how wide-open the landing area actually was. These "looks" changed on each hole. Reminded me of a Dick & Rick Phelps-designed course in this aspect).
The 2 of us followed 3 groups of ladies (who were having a great time) and we all played in less than 4 hours never seeing the 2 guys behind us who "didn't want to play with a girl".
We would recommend the course to most anyone, especially at Arizona summer prices!

The Cattail course is great fun and in great shape. The pace of play was a bit slow but there seemed to be a genuine effort on behalf of the ranger to keep things moving.

The course and staff were great. The fairways were in good shape and the greens rolled true. Overall an enjoyable experience.

I've played here often. It's a great facility well managed with a very good staff. We had a slow day 5+hours which is unusual. Both courses are great. Have fun
