The Classic Club

About
On the Classic Club's scenic landscape, golfers will find a wide variety of trees including olive trees, towering pines, and California pepper, but unlike the many other golf courses in Palm Springs, there isn't a single palm tree. The Classic Club opened in 2006 to much acclaim and has since garnered a following amongst locals and visitors. Formerly a host site for the Bob Hope Classic, the challenging layout has an interesting mix of tour-worthy holes including intimidating par 3s balanced by reachable par-5s and short par-4s. Water hazards come into play on 13 holes. The back nine begins with a memorable stretch of holes. The par-4 10th is a tight driving hole with an elevated green and the 11th hole requires a shot over water. The stretch ends with the par-3 12th, which also plays over water to a well protected green.

Beautiful course and exceptional value
This is very beautiful course and a terrific value. You get a $25 food and Bev voucher and golf towel with your tee time. The carts are comfortable and all the staff are warm and welcoming. The golf course is fun and interesting to play.
Golf course and staffs
It was my first time to play here.! Courses were fun! But be careful the hazard I lost 2 balls haha....
And staffs are really kind! I want to go there and play again
Loved course
beautiful course, staff was amazing and fun. Really enjoyed the course
Course conditions
The first two times I played it it was really nice. This third time it was very disappointing. I regretted making the tee time there. Too many holes of the fairways were brown, and every fairways seem to be overwatered. It’s like hitting out of the mud.
Top notch
Always enjoy Classic club .. staff is always great and it’s by far one of the nicest courses in the palm desert area !
El Clasico!
First time playing here was very impressed. Ton of holes with water but not too challenging to hit fairways if you hit straightish. Some greens are elevated but not too difficult to stick. From the staff in the clubhouse to the drink carts, everyone was very cool and accommodating. On top of great golf and staff, they give out a Ghost towel embroidered with their logo!
You should play here and experience for yourself.
food coupons could not be used due to grill closure
The Classic is Classy and Very Enjoyable
The course was in great shape as Palm Springs wraps up Winter play and into Summer. The course condition was as expected from a world class golf course except the greens were a bit on a slow side due to less ground crew working on Memorial Day Monday.
Pace of play was 4:30 pm so not too bad though on a few holes (par 3's) there were often two group backups.
The Classic is one of my favorite courses in the desert and she did not disappoint this time.
Can't wait to return.
Stunning
Stunning Track, has rep for wind, so I must of been very fortunate or the wind factor has been exaggerated! Most likely exaggerated with social media! Best course I’ve played in Palm desert area! I’ve played 9 courses and so far this is number one
Mother's Day
Early start beat the heat/wind. Greens in great shape w bite, but a tad slow. Fairways mostly great, but some dry conditions on numerous fairways. It was day before US Open qualifier, so greens may have been left long in preparation of next am mowing.
Beautiful course. Great service.
Loved playing this course. Lunch was in the price so very much appreciated. Service was great on the course and in the restaurant. Will visit again next time.
