Featuring pristine and uncluttered views of the Sierra Estrella Mountains, the courses showcase the beauty of the natural terrain.īoth Devil's Claw and Cattail were created to reflect the land while the waters still flowed on the reservation by combining the Gila River landscape including cottonwood, mesquite, saguaro and palo verde trees with native grasses and rolling terrain. They will impress and challenge golfers of all levels of players while maintaining a sense of fairness and playability. The two courses, Devil’s Claw and Cattail, are masterpieces developed by Gary Panks covering 500 acres, with 250 acres of turfed area and 250 acres of desert landscape. Surrounded by spectacular mountains, this unique golf venue was also home to the PGA’s Nationwide Insurance Tour, Gila River Golf Classic for five years.
Whirlwind Golf Club is a truly unique Southwest golf experience sensitively designed to preserve the rich cultural heritage of the Gila River Indian Community.
