Mixed Review

Been here a number of times now. I still contend they are the two best golf courses in Chandler. Each time, however, I have had unpleasant experiences with the staff, particularly the starter. On a number of occasions I found the starter to be cranky and curt with myself and my group. Kind of turns me off to choosing Whirlwind over a ton of other options. It also makes me not want to recommend it to anyone or bring my out of town guests. Shame, because like I said, the golf courses and warm up areas are fantastic.

Portland visitor

Couse in excellent shape for time of year-january. Essentially no rough just dormant brown grass. Fairways nice and green. Greens also good shape and not terribly fast. Had to wait on every hole. Round took over 4.5 hours. Starter was friendly and helpful. Nice that no homes on course to obscure views of area mountains. I do return about once per year

Desert Gem

Just a fantastic day at Whirlwind. Do yourself a favor and play here. Very easy drive from central Phoenix, but well worth it. We went early and had a great lunch. 10/10

Long from senior/ladies tees

We played after morning rain and the course was practically empty. Got the round done in under 4 hours and only had to wait on the back 9. Tee times were in 9 minute intervals, so we got lucky that it was fast.

It was nice to play outside of a residential community, but you're spammed with ads on the cart. Every other hole they were running their membership program ad, when you were trying to figure out distance off the tee. Hole #7 had an employee asking for charitable donations off the tee which was something I've never seen before.

The course wasn't difficult, if you are straight off the tee then you will be fine. Hole #9 was the most interesting with a divided fairway that requires strategy. Most greens only had one greenside bunker, several had hills that would hold balls.

Course was 5540 from the ladies tees, including hole 3 which was 530 yards. Par 5's averaged 477 yards, Par 4's were around 320.

Greens were in good condition and were fair speed. No rough, just dead grass, and painted grass for fairways. Tee box grass should have been cut shorter, but tee boxes were flat.

Drink cart came around a few times but no way to order food at the turn. Water was provided in the cooler. Cart GPS was annoying - there's no signs on the course where to drive carts, but if you drove into an unmarked restricted area, it would shut off. Sometimes that was 80 yards from the green, sometimes it was 30 yards. Finding hole #2 was an adventure.

Course conditions excellent

Course was in fantastic shape., both greens and fairways. Course was busy but pace of play was good just over 4 hours with no waiting for group ahead of us and noble pushing from behind

Devil’s Claw Round

Course is in great condition and has spectacular views. We started late in the day and had to miss the last three holes due to sundown because the group ahead of us were a bit slow-may want to spread out the tee times. Cart service only passed by once for a last call. My only complaint is that the gps on the carts be adjusted to allow for normal operation on a wider area off the cart paths. Many times we were trying to turn around next to path only to have the warning pop up on the screen and cart stop then crawl back to the path. Really enjoy the course and the resort.
