I Recommend This Course
Enjoyable round
Course was in great shape and pace of play was 4:15 with all tee times booked. Both courses at whirlwind dont make the turn at the club house between 9 & 10, so make sure you have plenty of supplies. There is a food cart but was pretty much sold out on sandwiches both days we played

Perfect Desert Course
We were in town for a week and played 5 courses. This was the best. Course was in perfect shape (Devil's was seeded later and wasn't quite all the way back yet). Wouldn't hesitate to play it again.

Solid track…excellent pace of play
We got on online tee times for about $50 off per person from their rack rate . It was Thanksgiving and the weather was great. No wind. 75 degrees. The staff was super friendly and let us go out early since the sooner we finish, the sooner they can go eat their turkey! Lol
We didn’t have the course to ourselves, but never had anyone behind us and then 1 couple we eventually caught up with and passed. Finished a round in 3 hours 30 minutes! The back was a lot harder than the fron and our scores showed it. Still a great day. There is a casino right there as well, so we headed there and I won back our green fees and a little more. Happy Thanksgiving!
