Wild Horse Pass

Whirlwind is always in great shape. I love putting on nice greens!

Played this course a few years back and wasn’t overly impressed, partly due to price. But played again this fall, just after overseeding, and came away with a better appreciation for the course. It can be slightly repetitive- on the front nine the fellow we played with was laughing about how there was a sand trap 260 yards out on every whole, which seemed true - but the course is in good shape, well tended, and is fun to play. I still don’t think it’s quite as nice as its sister course Cattail, but I’ll admit it’s grown on me. Greens are good, tee boxes are good, and the staff are friendly.

First the positives. Nice course and very friendly staff. The course is quite expensive and believe that pace of play should be a part of the experience. We played in 5 hours 10 minutes. There was no martial on the course. By hole 4 we knew we were going to be in for a slow round. Waiting on every hole, in fact there were three groups waiting on one of the Par 3 Tee boxes. The day could have been great, however, the frustration impacted the enjoyment.

The course was in great shape. Pace of play was great. Definitely recommend this course, good value for the money. The staff was very friendly. Definitely will play this course again.

The layout is fine and overall the course was in good condition. Service was excellent. My only complaints:

(1) sprinklers were on when we arrived and the fairways were over watered and soggy for the entire round (7:45 am - noon). Balls regularly plugged on the fairways; and,

(2) it was over priced. I’ve played better courses in greater Phoenix / Scottsdale area for a lot less.

Very disappointed in pace of play being behind a group of seven golfers. We asked if we could play through and they said no so we left the course and did not play the last two hole. Management did say the Marshalls had left.
