Whirlwind Golf Club - The Devil's Claw Course

Pace was terrible as there was a tournament that we were not aware of until getting there. We did not get to finish last three holes. No one was around when we got back to let them know. The tournament people were loud and obnoxious and there was no marshall out to witness that. We waited on every hole!!!!! Otherwise lovely course.

As usual, when post overseeding the pace of play is tedious due to the cart path only rules..they are entirely to far from greens to begin with, 50-60 yds....but course was on the way to its usual good shape.

Course was in good shape and I enjoyed the layout. Mosquitos were terrible as sun disappeared. Will play again!

Course was very good for the time of year. Greens were very hairy and slow, as expected. It played as cart path only was the only downside but we were aware of that prior to starting.

Odd to find such a nice course in the middle of a field in the desert. The holes were very well kept. We did actually have to do cart path only because the course had just been overseeded but it was in great shape compared to the other courses in the area. I would definitely go to this challenging course again. We were only a twosome but the were finished the course in under 4 hours. I believe that the reason was the fact that they had a course marshall that came around the whole time we were there to check and make sure play was proceeding how we wished it. Staff was amazingly friendly and could not do enough for us visitors from Alberta.

Course is cart path only due to reseeding . The greens are a little on the slow side but in very good shape. The rough is up which makes hitting fairways important . The only down side is the flies and mosquitoes ; they were terrible. Pace of play was good . Value is excellent. Play the back tees if you are a 6 or below.

Every time I have played this course it has been in beautiful shape. Tee boxes are perfect, fairways are green and lush, and the rough can be challenging if your balls settles. Bunkers are filled with soft sand. The greens roll true and will stick with some good wedge play. Their practice facility is excellent as well. Highly recommend.

Course is in wonderful condition. Played Silver tees @ 6400 yrds so many of par 4's do play long (13 hndicap), but that's offset by generous fairways. Plan to go back ASAP.

Best Bermuda greens in the valley. Some browned out area in fairways and collars, but the traps and greens are excellent. A must play. Beverage service was plentiful and lots of good drinking water on the course.

This course is fun and forgiving and in good shape considering the time of year. The greens roll true and the only slight knock on the conditioning would be the tee boxes. I would definitely suggest checking it out if you haven't played here yet.

Even though we played when it was very warm, monsoon season, this course and staff was excellent . Very lush fairways and excellent greens.

Course was in very good shape for the middle of summer in Phoenix. Tees, fairways, and greens all in nice shape. Staff was friendly and marshals checked in on our group a couple times with chilled towels. Played from the tips so the course was a good challenge.

We will play there again. Great course!
The course was in great condition.

Course and greens in particular we're in great shape. Bunkers were also well manicured and very playable. Only knock is $60 price tag in the summer.

Learned that if you book a tee time on Golfnow from a Troon facility and it includes range balls, it is for before the round, not after. There are times I want to hit some balls after my round to work on something, but not if you book a tee time on Golfnow. Didn't leave a good taste for one of the courses I really enjoy playing.

Had a great time playing Devils Claw that we are going back this week to play Cattail!

This course is a personal favorite of mine. it presents a number of very well thought out challenges to the player from tee to green. It is a tough but fair test of golf. Troon golf is always a guarantee of impeccable playing conditions.

Enjoyed the course mostly because I was playing with my 91 year old friend! It was a very hot day between 105 and 110; but you had plenty of water on the course and a full ice chest; so we were able to keep hydrated and cool by drinking and wetting small towels to keep on our necks. The fairways were great for iron play with almost perfect height grass; but the course seem to play a lot up hill and the grass didn't allow for too much run out; so was using a lot middle and long irons in on most of the par 4's. The greens had been recently punched but had little effect on the roll of the ball; which was a good thing since I needed to make a lot of lag puts etc. I'm very glad that I chose to play the gold tees and not the tips as my drives although hit well were constantly 20 to 30 yards shorter than usual even having to hit a couple of 3 woods in on a couple to the longer par 4's. I carry a 7.6 index playing a 130 slope on my home track and lucked out with some super chips in tight and a couple of birdies to shoot a 2 over total score. I would like to see your fairways just a little faster; but probably wouldn't want to trade their very iron friendly height.

Excellent course conditions and super friendly helpful staff.

What a day. Tough course but worth it. Get yourself a T time on golfnow.com. Fantastic conditions and club house. Enjoy!
