 "Aji" Devils Claw #17 Whirlwind Golf Courses & Wild Horse Pass ResortWhirlwind Golf Club is a truly unique Southwest golf experience sensitively designed to preserve the rich cultural heritage of the Gila River Indian Community. Surrounded by spectacular mountains and managed by Troon Golf, this unique golf venue is also home to the PGA's Nationwide Insurance Tour, Gila River Golf Classic held every year in October.
Covering 242 acres, with 92 acres of turfed area and 150 acres of desert landscape, Panks' design is "challenging but fair" for players of various handicaps. Each of the 36 holes is named after a significant legend or landmark of the Pima and Maricopa Indians. Only plants that are indigenous to the Gila River and its surrounding desert are featured on these 7,017-yard, par 72 courses.
Both 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. These challenging golf courses also features gradual elevation changes, great bunker designs with multi-tiered greens.
This suggested itinerary includes 3 rounds of golf on championship links: Whirlwind Cattail, Ocotillo White & Gold or Blue & Gold and Whirlwind Devil's Claw. Green fees, carts, SUV rental and 4 nights accommodation are also included. | 
Wild Horse Pass Resort is located in the Sonoran Desert on an expanse of rugged Arizona landscape where the ancient vistas, mountains and roaming wild horses remain untouched. A unique blend of two cultures, the resort offers the quiet serenity created by Native American tribes who found haven here.
