Whirlwind Golf Club - Devil's Claw
The Devil's Claw course reflects the plant palette indigenous to the Gila River - Mesquite, Saguaro, Palo Verde, and Cottonwood blend with native grasses to recreate the Gila River as it was when the waters still flowed on the reservation. It's design is dominated by gradual elevation changes, multi-tiered greens, and challenging bunker design.
