Devils Claw - FIVE STARS

The course is in great condition and very well maintained! From tee to green, Devils Claw is how every golf course should be during the hot Arizona summers. Keep up the great work Course Sup and the rest of the ground crew!

Golf shop staff is always friendly and welcoming..

Outside services goes above and beyond to make sure golfers are taken care of.

Needs Attention

Great Layout, but........

Tee Boxes - For the most part, they are good. But, what is up with Hole 9 tee box from back tees? Spend a day and trim down some trees in the wash so the back tee box can be utilized.

Fairways are Inconsistent - unable to determine what is fairway and what is rough. Weeds growing in some of the fairways (especially 8). Bare spots (dirt). Not sure when the fairways last saw a mower!

Greens - sloooooow and bumpy! Need to be thatched and rolled. It was hard to tell whether or not they were even mowed!

Bunkers - Need A LOT of work. Very little sand. Rocks. What’s up with the Bunker behind Hole 12? Wow!

The Duke At Rancho El Dorado could be a superb golf course, however the management / staff appear to not care much about course conditions! For $4 more, you can drive 3 miles and play another course that is in pristine condition. This use to be a well maintained golf course. Not so much anymore.

Devils Claw is a great layout however, this is the worst condition I've seen the course since I started playing it four years ago. Every hole has areas of dead (brown) grass in the fairway / around the greens which come into play and can / will play a huge factor on where the ball ends up. Course seems to be overwatered in some areas, including areas of dead (brown) grass. Greens were good, but putting slower than usual.

Summer golf for courses in Arizona can be brutal, but Whirlwind always seemed to have some of the best course conditions of any course around. Not this summer. Still, the course is playable, but temper your expectations.
