Whirlwind Golf Club - The Devil's Claw Course

My playing partner and I enjoyed the layout, finding it challenging, but not a grind. I spent more time in the desert than I would have liked, but that certainly was not the fault of the course, just my swing.

Played the devil and it was awesome! Only complaint was pace of play. The marshal just acted as if it was normal instead of speeding things up.

A must play if visiting Phoenix area in the near future

I loved the course. Greens are fantastic. Fairway are lush. The only issue is the odor of the lake water. I don't know if the machinery that maintains them was not working properly, but there was a very strong urine smell.

This is a great course,lush fairways and nice fair greens. I'm coming back!

I have played this course many times over the years, however it has never been in worst shape. The sand traps are in very bad shape. My friends and I have complained but nothing is done. You would think between Troon and Gila River they could fix this. What a waste!!

Was a fun course, well maintained. Fair challenge. Fun. Good pace of play.

Our group appreciated excellent customer service! Rate for our round was errantly posted in our favor. We checked in and staff honored the rate we booked without question!

Our favorite place to play in South PHX. Whirlwind -Cattail is the easier of the two courses but very enjoyable. Desert style, but not "target" golf. Fast greens, in typical great "Troon" shape. Relatively flat course. Lots of sand, enough water and trees to make it a good test. Great practice area includes range, bunker/chipping and putting areas. Friendly staff through the pro-shop, beverage cart , starter and restaurant bar . This is a higher end Troon course so can be pricey, but if its on "hot deals" grab it!!!

Facilities are always superb for the practice before the round. Course is in excellent shape.

Have fun and stay away from the bunkers that can come in to play on every hole. Greens were in excellent condition.

Excellent condition, outstanding practice facilities, great greens, a pleasure to play. Make sure you consult the "players book" they give you to make yourself aware of where the water and other hazards come into play. The staff was great and the food in the restaurant is delicious.

Played Devils claw, it is a great course, little nicer then Cattail but I like that one fine too. Pace was perfect, I enjoyed every part of playing here and would return in a heartbeat.

Whirlwind - Devils claw is a challanging desert course that plays fair. Fairways are wide and most fairways are flat / comfortable. Sand traps are challanging to get out of. Greens are in great shape and roll true. Green Breaks are challanging to read and putted balls don't jump, bounce, etc.
From Par 3 to Par 5's the course is designed and maintained to be challanging and fun.

My wife and I played Devils Claw on Thanksgiving afternoon. We finished in 3.5 hrs and enjoyed the course. It was challenging for us (bogey golfers) and the greens were fast. Our only negative comment was that most of the holes looked the same, from a visual perspective. We would return though to play because of the great condition of fairways and greens and the very friendly staff.

This course is built in the desert flats, but has plenty of terrain designed into it. Perfectly groomed. A good course for all levels of expertise.

the course has some nice variety and some challenging greens. some of the pin placements can be very tricky.
overall a very nice course with not alot of water hazards.

Played the course 5 days after it had re-opened from over seeding.
The course was in fantastic shape, very good conditions.

I liked the tees in particular - It was a fairly long course and I'm a short hitter. The availabilty of 4 tee levels for every hole, all separately maintained and equally high quality was most gratifying. I also was impressed (though sometimes depressed) by the sand traps, which are quite challenging, while also being well maintained.

Course was in pristine condition, the greens a little slow if you were being pedantic, but as over seeding had just finished you could accept this.
