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.

Great coursee
A beautiful, interesting, challenging course in great condition. I will definitely try to play here the next time I am in town.
A Desert Beauty
Wonderful course with scenic waterfalls, islands, and water everywhere in the shadow of the mountains. Great layout. Played from white tees at recommendation of starter who claimed "the course plays longer than the card". In fact the course plays much shorter. I used a hybrid to tee of Don 5 holes and a 3metal on three others. Great staff. Did not feel rushed or harried. Round for foursome took 4:10. Would play this course again in a heartbeat, but from the blues.
Always a good play
Weather was perfect with little wind. The Classic Club has long been one of my favorites in the desert. Fast true greens, and a course in great condition with a good lunch and towel thrown in every time we play.
It will always be on my playlist when I visit.
Great course
Great course and in excellent condition I gave it all 5 star ratings but only 3 on value for money as it is so so expensive.
Immaculate facility with impressive service
The entire staff and Classic Club was friendly, attentive and obviously proud of their magnificent facility. The course played great and as described by the starter.
Heed the advice of playing away from the water as the fairways slope more than normal to the water hazards.
Enjoy what will surely be a great day / round at Classic Club!
Beautiful track…an arnie gem
Only reason for course conditions rating was they are getting ready to overseed so the sprinklers had been turned off for a few days already prior to our play date. The course was pretty dry and greens a bit shaggy as a result but definitely playable…just not it’s usual beauty shape however.
Great Layout - In some Repair
Course layout is great, and some holes are very appealing. A few fairways were/have been under repair and showed distress, new patches, or brown dead areas. Greens not bad for the most part - some silly pin placements, and covered in brown dead grass. Plays longer than expected, and many approaches are difficult. Would like to play again when pricing is reasonable.
Mr Todd
Course was incredible in shape. Played in three hours and a half. I would play it every day if I lived here.
Wow
Made good friends with Bryan. He was amazing and could alone be the reason why this course is rated five stars. They finished taking care of their greens a couple of weeks ago so it’s still healing but they roll like glass lol.
A must play in the desert.
Overall great condition and helpful staff. Great value for your money.
Classic Club
Awesome course and layout. Can be challenging but worth playing. Course amenities are great. Very professional staff.
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.
