Whirlwind Golf Club - The Devil's Claw Course

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!

I will definitely be back. I was very impressed by the overall excellent condition of the course and the upscale feel. Not crowded at all. This is a beautiful course.

The course was on excellent condition! From fairways to rough to greens and binkers.

While a bit south for many Phoenix visitors - this is a real jewel - two great courses - a bit flat in places
Some trouble in play from most tee boxes - but very fair

Course was challenging, yet playable for all levels. I had the unfortunate task of putting up with a loudmouth in front of me and didn't like that too much, but there wasn't much that the marshall could do. Pace was fair at about 4.25 h.

Recommended.

Dream players had played the course in the morning and to play 18 holes in 6 hours is pathetic. Of course no one said the play on the back would be slow, only found out after the fact. I hate excuses and to say the kids are playing for money
Is sorry excuse.

This course was in fabulous condition and a good test of golf. The pace of play was nice and of course the weather was perfect!! It is a nice feature to have many drinking water coolers on the course! Thanks!

Devils claw course is a very good golfing experience. From the friendly staff at the bag drop to the staff in the pro shop well done for making you feel welcome! The course is not overly dificult but we played the gold tees about 6700 yards but from the tips it probably a whole different animal. Overall conditions were perfect besides the wind. Greens can be tricky if your not on the correct level,lots of tiered greens,going to play the cat tail course today so I'm sure it will be another great day of golf inAz.

Good course for all levels. Course as always was in great shape. Make sure you play the right tee boxes for your play ability.

Course advertised pace of play as being 4-1/2 hours or less... Front nine was slow but fairly steady. We found ourselves on the back nine waiting an average of 10 minutes before we could tee off on a hole.

Then the food cart person did not stop while we were teeing off...a lesson in course courtesy is definitely needed here.

Staff made you feel welcome and made the experience good. Course is very green and in good condition. Practice area is great but a little steep at $25 to go hit balls. I have returned for a second year to play here and would come back for a third.

First time to Phoenix. This course was in excellent condition. Book as a single and got paired up with another group. I would defiantly recommend this course.

I've played both courses in the last week and both were in great shape. Greens rolling good an true.

Excellent course conditions. Good golf course for any ability.
