Good day

The course was in great shape. The over seed was good, greens smooth and although still a bit slow for my liking and should only get better with time. Pace of play was good at 4 hours 2 min.

Perfect weather
Used cart

Great course but slow greens

First time playing Devils Claw course. Unfortunately it had just reopened after overseeding so it was cart path only which slows down play. Really enjoyed the layout and the course was in perfect condition (as it should be with no carts driving on it). Only complaint was the extremely slow greens which caused many three putts by everyone in our foursome. The greens are soo large that it made it hard to get your first putt close unless you had a really good approach shot into the green. I did like the fact that they have GPS on the carts which really helps when you are unfamiliar with a course. Pro shop staff and Starter where very friendly and helpful.

Devils Claw

Nice course and practice facility. No place to get food or drinks at turn & the Cart Path only rule is a downer.

Beautiful course, but management needs work

We played cattail with a 12:52 tee time and literally were waiting at EVERY hole. It took us 5 hours to get through a round due to waiting. We never saw a course Marshall. Groups in front of us were screwing around, practice putting etc. we love this course but will not be back. It’s waaay too expensive to deal with this type of frustration at every hole. Also, this seems to be appealing to the younger, less serious golfer. At one point we saw a cart with three 20 something’s riding in a single cart. Not pleased with our experience this year or last year. We won’t be back.

Really good

The design and condition of the course are excellent. Service was friendly and helpful. The only negative was that we had to keep the golf buggy to the paths at all times because of the overseeding and watering of the fairways. This meant that play was slower and judging distance and club selection more time consuming. But carrying would have been feasible as distances from greens to tees were not long. Of course the weather was perfect which is why we came to Scottsdale in November from the UK where it is now cold, wet and muddy!

Cattail

Our teetime was Devilsclaw, but we learned it was cart path only when we arrived. The starter had openings on the Cattail course at the same time so the graciously moved us over to Cattail. The course was in great shape, and a pleasure to play

Whirlwind Devils Claw

We were the 6th group off on freshly overseeded devils claw. Course is in best shape I’ve ever seen it. Greens are perfect. I’m sure they’ll get quicker but they’re perfect otherwise. Enjoyed the round!

One of the Valley’s best

I golf all over the Greater Phoenix area. This course layout is very nice , no two holes alike. It’s truly a must play … Cattail is my favorite but Devil’s Claw is very nice also. You won’t be disappointed. Bunkers are superb also. Great value. Enjoy

Great golf experience. 10x better than that piece of crap Octillo that we played the next day. I would not recommend the latter but recommend Cattail.

5 hour 36 min round.

Cart path only still seems excessive. Mix that with cramming in to many people on the course yields an almost SIX HOUR round. Unacceptable.

Catttail fist timer

We had a wonderful round October 9th at Cattail. The course was pristine and had just gone through the winter overseeing preparation so the fairways were perfect. Very fun to play and recoverable. I look forward to the next time I play it.
