Whirlwind Golf Club

Overall Ranking: #16

Whirlwind Golf Club offers 36 holes of pristine golf. Pristine conditions are the predominant feature at Whirlwind, as they are consistently in the top conditioned 3-4 courses in the valley. The course layouts are very solid and have no houses on either course! With that said, both courses offer very little elevation change or dramatic character seen on many dessert courses. As stated, the clubhouse and turf conditions make up for the lack of dramatic golf courses features and/or elevations. Close to Sheraton Wild Horse Casino/resort and only 20 minutes from Tempe, allows golfers plenty of nearby attractions. The clubhouse is modest but spills out onto putting green and 18th hole and offers great food and cool patio.
