Whirlwind Golf Club - Devil's Claw Course

Chandler, AZ — Whirlwind Golf Club's Devil's Claw Course is the second of two Gary Panks designs at Wild Horse Pass on the Gila River Indian Reservation. The 7,029-yard, par-72 layout begins on Greasy Mountain and winds through arroyos and native desert vegetation. Split fairways, stacked stone riverbeds, and 30-foot tall saguaro cacti in play give this course its distinctive character. A companion to the Cattail, the Devil's Claw offers a slightly more intimate desert experience.
