Mr Todd

Course was incredible in shape. Played in three hours and a half. I would play it every day if I lived here.

Greens Only Issue

Once the staff finishes with the greens, this course would be perfect. They were a couple of weeks out from doing regular maintenance on the greens so they were a little grainy. The staff was fantastic and the food at the restaurant was excellent. Loved the course layout. I am a 14 handicap and broke 90. This course was much more difficult that what I play at home, but as you can see by my score, was fair. Fairways are generous, but you need to stay in them, LOL. I would recommend, especially if you can get a hot deal.

Great course

As always the course was in great condition. Few brown spots in the fairways but nothing major to change my opinion of the course. Greens were rolling nice. The course is tough when the wind picks up but still a great course.

Love to play this course

I enjoy each and every time I’m able to get out at the classic club. I think the course layout is one of the best in the desert and the off course amenities, driving range, putting green, restaurant, and Grill are all excellent. The last time I played, however, there were a couple of small issues with employees that I had not experienced in the past. Not sure if they were having a bad day or if they really just aren’t that interested in their job but outside of that it was once again a great experience.

Fun in the sun

Great experience, loved it, will come back again. A lot of challenging holes. Not a typical Desert course. Quick 4+ hour round in the heat. Very Creative layout.

Golfing at Classic Club

This was my first time playing this course. It is certainly a premier course that everyone should experience. I enjoyed the scenery and the golf course was fun.
My only disappointment was that the course played very slow. The amenities are wonderful and my wife and I enjoyed dinner at the restaurant that evening.

I certainly would play here again, however the price is a bit higher than other comparable courses!

All-around great golf experience

Classic Club was in fine form for June conditions, the greens were perfect, as were the fairways. The bunkers were a bit thin, so chip your shots out of them. The wind was up from 8 to10 and played havoc with my score, but laid down for the back side. I always check the Weather Channel before booking the desert, I play here not only because it's a great course, but because of GN tee times here. Can't go wrong playing here!
