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.

Kinda slow

Front nine went quickly but we ended up waiting 5-10 min on every hole on the back. Ended up leaving after 14

Excellent course, great condition

We got a great Sunday special at $99, much less than the regular price. The course is truly in great condition (tees, fairways, greens), the clubhouse is beautiful, and the restaurant is excellent (we had lunch after playing). Most of the bunkers were a bit crusty, which is too bad as the sand was really nice... just needed raking. LOTS of bunkers and most of the greens were very protected. Water on a few holes... just avoid it!

Gorgeous course

This is a beautiful course, staff are very friendly and helpful. The meal voucher and food are excellent and factored in make the value more reasonable. The starter was fabulous and Marshall’s keep a close eye on things to keep things moving. A beautiful facility and very well run. Thank you.

Punishing slopes to the water

Awesome course. Would play again. Lost count how many balls rolled into the water. The starter was very nice and tried to warn us about every slope rolling to the water more than you would think -- should have listened better. Very beautiful course. Wish I played better.

Pricey, But a great course!

Playing here was a bit pricey, but offset by $25:vouchers for lunch at their great restaurant. But what a course! Beautiful Arnold Palmer design. Fabulous condition. A fair course from the proper tees.

Excellent golf course and facility

Everything was top notch. We have played here for about 15 years. Lunch or dinner voucher and nice golf towel included with a round of. This year they ran out of towels to give as part of package. Understandable but why not give alternative merchandise.
