Whirlwind Golf Club - The Devils Claw

Whirlwind Golf Club has established itself as a premier golf destination for Arizonans as well as travelers from around the globe. The facility features 36 perfectly manicured holes draped over 242 acres of exquisite desert landscape. The property’s signature wild, roaming horses and other desert wildlife enjoy the peacefulness of Whirlwind’s unspoiled habitat.

The Devils Claw provides 5 sets of tee areas, with the tips measuring 7029 yards with a slope of 131. This course features some mild elevation changes along a rolling terrain, with landscaped tee areas and abundant sand waste areas. As is true on the Cattail (its sister course), the carries over the landscaped desert areas though frequent - are quite short in length, and the fairways are usually generous. Two tiered and ridged putting surfaces are the norm on this course, making pin placement recognition a vital component to scoring well.

Despite the short 12-mile drive from Phoenix’s Sky Harbor International Airport, guests of Whirlwind indulge themselves in the picturesque golf environment and the tranquility of a location so seemingly distant from the commotion of everyday life.

Whirlwind has also garnered high praise from the touring professionals of the PGA Nationwide Tour, as Whirlwind was the proud host of the “Gila River Golf Classic” for five consecutive years. Whirlwind’s highest praise comes from its loyal customers who have returned time and time again since the Fall of 2000 and have not been forgotten, even as the appeal of the facility has extended to customers worldwide.
