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.

Another great day on the course
Cattail never disappoints. It's always well-groomed. Greens are always in great shape. The bunkers will challenge your accuracy, and there are a LOT of them. Overall, it's always a great experience out there. Mid-May is a great time to play. Not too hot and the summer rates are in effect.
Always a great course
This course is always in great shape . The staff is great and they always make you feel welcome .
Exceptional
Very nice golf course, well maintained, friendly staff, player assistants were very helpful. Pace was great.
I would golf this one again.
Spectacular
The course was in excellent shape,we had a 7:30 am tee time.finished in 4 hours. Fairways excellent, greens provided some challenges.
Had a great day.
Value for the $$
Nice course. Layout was nice. The foursome in front of was a little slow, the 2 young boys thought they were big hitters they were not.
A little better signage when going from 9 to 10.
Great course
While the course is in excellent condition and the staff is awesome, it’s a little too expensive for me at $199. I’ve played other courses in just as good condition for half the rate. At the end of the day it's about having a great time making memories with your buddies!!
Whirlwind golf
It was a beautiful spring afternoon and the only issues were some marginal golf shots and the fact we only saw the cart girl once.😢
Starter must been having a bad day. He wasn’t very nice!!
