A place to talk about Golf and Traveling
Whirlwind Golf Resort, Phoenix, AZ
The Cattail provides 5 sets of tee areas, with the tips measuring 7218 yards with a slope of 132. Alternate sets play to 6725/128 slope, 6300/123 slope, 5895/131 slope for women and 5383/123 slope for women. The mid or silver tees are recommended for the mid-handicapper and average golfer, and are challenging with 3 par fours in excess of 400 yards. This course plays over and around a mild, landscaped desert terrain, with a couple of holes featuring natural wetland areas that are unique to this area. The Cattail is a great golf course, with wonderfully conditioned fairways, tees and greens. Each hole has a name - posted on the scorecard and also at the tee boxes, represented in English and also in the Native American translation of the Gila River Indian tribe.
Devil's Claw at Whirlwind plays over 7,000 yards designed with flat rolling and forgiving fairways and somewhat devious tiered greens in a natural setting of native flora. Devil's Claw uses an increase in elevation as one of its design features. The 7th hole, Dragonfly Falls, is Whirlwind's signature, and one of only two water features on the course. This par-3 will force you to carry over the lake from all but the front tees. Watch out for the waterfall sitting off the right side of the green!
