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 Day
The course is in pristine condition. Extremely enjoyable round. Good pairing. Great day!
not to miss
Course was much better than expected. An excellent challenging layout and course conditions were exceptional. Sadly there was a foursome who held up the course considerably for the first 9. The starter mentioned this group when we started but apparently the Marshall did nothing until around the 9th hole. Not sure why the delay since we were told on the first hole. Too bad as the experience was excellent otherwise. Food at the restaurant indoors was very good - again we expected average fare but were pleasantly surprised at the service and the quality of the food.
Very challenging course. All the fairways roll well into the water. Tight lies. Good pace. Play nice people.

It is what you make of it
The challenge of this course is playing from the appropriate tees. There are some sneaky greens and approach shots, that would have been more forgiving had we known the lay of the land (unseen hazards) The course was in great shape, the roll on the fairways was less than anticipated, the greens were quick and broke less than expected, all in all, a great day out there!
Great course!
After having to quit at the 11th hole the previous day due to high winds, the staff arranged a fair replay rate for us. The weather was perfect and the course presented itself extremely well! A very nice 19th hole and a very good restaurant to boot!
Great, challenging but fair course
Loved my afternoon round at The Classic Club. Paid $320 for two people that that includes a $25 per person credit on food and drink.
Lunch was quite good, staff was good and pace of play was not bad (4:15 round)
I love the course though. Lots of water but its a fair course that was mostly in excellent shape.
Wonderful
Course is in great shape. The greens were fantastic and the staff were very friendly. Great value for the price and the lunch was very good.
Great course, excellent condition, challenging
I’ve played the Classic Club multiple times, the price has gone way up (as it has elsewhere).
Check the weather and wind conditions before booking a round (it can be very windy in that side of the valley and the course is already quite challenging, even for lower handicappers).
Would I recommend going? Yes, it’s a beautiful course and very well manicured. It’s a course I would play again (unlike the PGA Stadium course, played it once, that’s enough), but not one I would play regularly. I prefer SilverRock for the money.
Course conditions
Been coming to the desert to play golf for 50 years. Always play the Classic Club at least once. Fantastic conditions every aspect. Only thing watch forecast for windy conditions. Club can be a bit rugged if wind conditions over 25 mph.
Very nice course in good condition. Staff was excellent and pace of play was great. Very good value.
Overpriced
It is a good course. But compared with other courses around here, I think it’s overpriced.
