Whirlwind Golf Club - The Devil's Claw Course

Playing back tee when A-game is not showing up increased the difficulty level of the course. The wash areas have been visited more often than anticipated.

Professional staff from bag drop to 18th hole has made the day an almost perfect day. Course conditions were great and scenery is a lus compared to oher golf courses.

Thanks for a great day.

Great courses. Challenging and fair. Course was in excellent condition and the greens read true.

Devils Claw at whirlwind offers a challenging round of golf in a beautiful desert setting. The fairways were in great shape and the surrounding desert often leaves one with a playable lie. The greens were firm and true despite small marks left by golfers apparently too lazy to fix their ball marks. The surrounding mountains offer a beautiful backdrop.
Just don't expect anything quicker than a four hour round during the busy winter months.

2 great courses. Great conditioning. Cool clubhouse.

my only negative comment was that the marshall asked us to pick up our pace of play after 4 holes. we had no one behind or in front of us. We were a 3 some and when he warned us we were on pace for a 3 hour round. 2 holes later we caught a foursome and so we finished in four hours. Other than that only positive things to say...its pricey but worth it. We played ASU Karsten and TPC Champions and this was easily a better course than either.

I found a sweetheart of a course on Valentines Day. Perfect conditions.

Great course. Excellent conditions and staff. Will play again.

Played Devils Claw course at Whirlwind.

Troon course with impeccable greens and great fairways set within the desert. Lots of wildlife viewings (Coyote crossed the fairway twice).

Generous fairways - if you slice into the desert ball will be gone most of the time.

Really enjoyed the round.

Whirlwind is a Class A golf experience. Course and practice facility in great shape. Pace of play was just over four hours but given the difficulty of the course (especially the undulating greens and green side bunkering) was understandable. Cart service disappeared by 2:00 which given that days temperature was surprising. Devils Claw has a variety of tees to suit long and short hitters

First time playing this track and was very impressed. Course was in immaculate shape and pace of play was good for how busy it was. Highly recommend this course to all.

First time I played this course. Great shape. Greens, bunkers and water holes make the course fair but challenging. Best of all no houses. Staff was very friendly. Pace of play was good considering we had a 1:00 P.M t-time. Could use more parking space but that's a minor fault. Would definitely play there again.

Played the Cattail course. The course is in great shape, the greens roll true and I would say were medium in speed. My only complaint is that the front nine was really short in distance (played the gold tees) and all but a few holes were straight forward. There isn't much trouble on the course, wide fairways, not a lot of traps, trees were all small and even the desert was pretty forgiving.

It is definitely a resort course but for the money and all the great reviews it gets I would have to say it's a pedestrian golf course. Not much of a WOW factor.

Not sure if I would pay the $100+ rates they charge as I would much rather play Southern Dunes but this was good. Good shape...some challenging holes and some that would be nice to play again as I went in blind.

Well,I was hoping that it would be as good as Southern Dunes. No way. The Resort play really tears up the course and they seem to not be able to fix divots. I guess they have the attitude that they paid there $ 140. The course was a little wet even at the end of the day. It was fun to play. The $60, I paid was worth it.

Only problem was that the ladies tees were almost the same as the men's. On several holes the women's distance was very challenging even though there were tee locations that could have been used to make it better for the women

Played devils claw. Hole 9 has split fairway! Very cool. Staff was very nice and helpful. Greens rolled true. Course was in fantastic shape as are all troon courses.

Great practise facilities. I played devils claw and the greens were in much better shape then cattails which is the other course here. They were faster and more receptive. Overall tHe course was in good condition. Lots of grass clippings left on the fairway. A little annoying. Staff was a little preoccupied with a tournament that was arriving around the same time so ended up going back to bag drop to get my own clubs and loading into a cart

Fabulous facillity. Course was in great shape for so early in the season.

There was a tournament but that is no excuse for allowing a 5+ hour round. At one point there was three foursome waiting on a tee!! Called the clubhouse to point this out and they were dismissive. We finished the 18th in the dark. Other groups behind us, who also presumably also paid full fees and not twilight rates, could not finish.

I played Devils Claw and really liked this course. Its really long at over 7000 yards. Grass was perfect on all tee boxes, fairways, and greens. The course was challenging on some holes. Most fairways are super wide and easy to land in unless you really shank it. I will play again and going to try and play Cattali next time I make it to Whirlwind. The starter was super cool and the pro shop guys seem to be all business and not to talkative. The guy who cleaned my clubs did a horrible job, I think they were cleaner before he touched them. lol
