Excellent day of golf
Spent an hour in the practice area, could spend all day here as the driving range, putting greens (2), and chipping area are excellent. Range balls are included and seem to be quite new Calloway range balls.
Played with a friend and a couple that we were paired with, pace of play was not rushed, just right. Finished in under 4 hours.
Fairways, first and second cut rough, greens are a dream. I don't know how they could be in any better condition. The course is wide and forgiving but offers plenty of challenges and opportunities to play strategically. If you hit beyond the rough, you probably will not find your ball but could find a rattler or two during the warm weather. Take a club with you.
Had an excellent breakfast before our round, highly recommend the food and staff.
All in all, highly recommended.
Great course
Pace of play was very slow. At times there were 4 groups at a hole. Only saw ranger once.
Great Course
Course is excellent and groomed beautifully. Staff were great and very helpful. Such things as GPS, windshields, coolers, and sand repair containers on carts were great amenities. All amenities on the course were in top working order, such as ball washers, drinking water stations, sand was appropriate consistency, and plenty of rakes. Bathrooms were nice and clean. Greens and fairways were in great shape. Fairways were tough enough yet forgiving enough when required.
Only negative is grill at clubhouse closes at about 5.
Would definitely recommend this course.
Impressive Course
I have heard good things about Whirlwind and it did not disappoint. Here on vacation. This was our 5th round and Devils Claw was the best conditioned course thus far.. Challenging, but fair.
Devil's Claw
Our go to favorite course. Very fair and wide fairways.
Good layout but bunkers have very little sand
Played an afternoon round and all the bunkers were wet and had no sand making them very unreliable. Course has none good risk reward holes and can be fun to play with proper placement
Great course
Having played this course several years before my memory of the layout was dim. The signage and the GPS were excellent ,as if you had a forecaddie to direct you. The greens were in excellent shape, very receptive and rolling true. Overall it was an excellent day to be alive!
Excellent course with tough greens. Very enjoyable.
Good value and conditions
Played Devils claw. Impressed with conditions and layout. Pace a bit slow at first but Marshall was on top of it later. Only minor complaint, cart service is lacking. No food , no Caesar drink spices, exhorbident charge for coffee and baileys. I know...first world problems!
Best day had by all
Weather was great, condition of course was immaculate and we played 18 in 3 hours. Food at course excellent and affordable. Overall a perfect experience. Can't wait to play again.
Great price and cours
Really enjoyed playing Cattail..First time playing Whirlwind. I would highly recommend this course as playability was fair and greens are very puttable.
Cattail in November
The weather was spectacular and the overseeding has taken beautifully so Cattail is lush and green. Fairways are in great shape and the Bermuda rough is dormant so the course plays slightly easier than it would in warmer months. The greens were a little slow and bumpy as it’s apparent the course gets a lot of daily play and not everyone is as diligent as they should be in fixing ball marks. As always the course is well watered and in places that can encourage your ball to check up so plan ahead for that. Overall the course is in great shape.
Most golf experiences start when you pull up to the club house and unload your clubs. Usually you unload them yourself. At Whirlwind, you are greeted by a young man that immediately warms your heart for being there. Any business starts with who is the face or first representative you encounter.. this continues thru check in, your warm up facilities to on the course. The courses are always in prime condition and very enjoyable to play. As usual we have some scores to settle at the end of our round of golf, and the staff in their bar and grill is the best. For the money, Devils Claw is more than a five star golf course. Every golfer should make Whirlwind part of their golfing experience.
Always Good at Whirlwind
Both of these courses (Cattails and Devil's Claw) are outstanding layouts. Miss the fairway, pay the price! Don't go looking for your ball because there are snakes out there! Great desert tract, kept in great shape most of the year 'round. The staff is always helpful. The practice facilities (putting green is huge and range is good) are good. The grill/restaurant is a hidden gem with outstanding food (go for the Philly sandwich - on a pretzel roll - yummy!).
Perfect
We played through a good rain storm, but other than that it was perfect. Great layout and conditions, greens rolled true, and staff were good. This is a must play course.
