Wild Horse Pass

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.

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!

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.
