Whirlwind Golf Club - The Devil's Claw Course

The course was very fair with wide fairways and approachable pins. The cart GPS was very accurate and gave distance right to the pin which was nice. Greens rolled nice although a bit on the slow side.

Course in excellent condition considering the transition from overseed back to Bermuda.

Great weather. Good facility. Paired up with a couple of nice guys. Very much a desert layout. Lots of prarie dogs!

Had to wait on the foursome in front of us on every hole, which made the round seem much slower than it was. It was bad enough that our playing partners quit at the turn.

Payed a pretty penny to play here and ended up only playing 9 holes. The pace of play was terrible and ended up waiting at least 5-10 min per hole to even start.

This is a great course to play before heading out to the airport as it’s only a 13 mile drive. But the holes are not memorable and the bunkering is very limited. The course is in great shape.

This has always been a favorite course. On the pricey side, so you have to look for deals. Little disappointed in the friendliness of staff. The beverage cart person did her job but wasn’t the friendliest. No warm greeting in the clubhouse either. However the course didn’t disappoint. Really good shape and love the variety of holes.

I like playing this course. It is short and requires some precision and course management. The couple of times I’ve played there the pace of play is so slow. I suppose it is just crowded? A lot of beginners? There is a lot of waiting around.

This particular afternoon it was extremely windy- which did thin the crowd and made for some crazy shot making.

The fairways are ok, the greens are ok(very slow). You get what you get for $60.

The day started a little windy but soon became a lovely afternoon. The course is in terrific shape. It is a Troon property so I would expect it to be well kept. I would consider it as moderately difficult. This was my first time through; second time won't be so challenging. Very nice staff / efficient service. Great practice facility. It is really quite close to town but it does seem like you are way out in the desert. I suppose it is a destination resort?

I enjoyed the round. I will return for more!

This course is on the expensive side for the East Valley area of PHX. However, it is fun to play and albeit expensive, worth playing on occasion. Course is in excellent condition. Hard enough that a golfer with a handicap over 18 might want to look elsewhere. Employees were all friendly.
