Whirlwind Golf Club’s Cattail Course in Chandler, designed by Gary Panks in 2002, is a resort 18-hole layout known for its strategic design and desert beauty. At 7,017 yards with a slope of 135, it features tighter fairways than its Devil’s Claw counterpart, with water hazards and bunkers set against the South Mountain backdrop.

Cattail plays with a premium on precision, with narrow fairways and desert hazards demanding accurate tee shots. The par-3s, like the 14th, test accuracy over water, while the par-5s offer scoring chances for strategic players. With resort access and pristine greens, Cattail is a favorite for golfers seeking a challenging desert round.
