The Classic Club

I was in the Palm Springs area for a week and this was far and away the best I played. Very organized staff and the coarse was in great shape. Go if you can!

I have played several tournaments at The Classic Club. It is a very challenging layout, especially when windy, however a fair layout. I do enjoy playing there overall.

It plays slow however; a big contributor to the slow play is they place the red penalty area lines AT THE BOTTOM of long, steep banks. It is automatic that your dropped ball will roll into the water. Since it is a tournament you have no choice but to drop 2 balls then ultimately place the ball. There is a significant risk the placed ball will roll into the water too, incurring additional penalties. On top of that, the best the golfer can do is chip the ball back into the fairway because the bank is so steep. There is zero chance of being able to advance the ball. WAY too penal and therefore more slowness.

Their penalty area markings are NOT in compliance with USGA guidance. USGA says the line should be at the top of the bank. Fortunately the marking is correct for the 18th, but they should mark the whole course that way.

They have been advised of this over the years but don't fix it. I don't understand it.

Course is in excellent condition with tons of water and sand but a great challenge and a super friendly and helpful starter named Clarence. Friendly staff everywhere and Bellatrix restaurant is superb. Make a reservation ahead of time though!

The Classic Club is terrific - lush, well maintained and a delight to play. It was a step up from many of the other courses in the area in terms of conditions, pace of play and amenities. A pleasure!

Nice course that is very fair. Hit good shots and get good results no gimmicks like some courses

Excellent conditions though greens were hard as rock and need more moisture, other then that great overall layout and conditions.

Enjoyed every minute. Have always loved the layout. Got round in 415..

The Grill was limited for apres golf. Wine in cans doesn’t work for me and poor selection of beer.

Great round though.

every hole is challenging and fair. Carefully select the tees you play from and all levels of golfer will find excellent playing conditions and challenges here. Lush fairways and greens that hold. Delightful elevation changes throughout the course, surprising but wonderfully interesting to play.. I'lve played a lot in the valley but never at CC before. My new favorite. Steep green fees but well worth it. Great practice facilities too. Clubhouse is stunning. Come early, play well, stay late!

perfect day lucky enought the wind was not there

and was perfect i recommended this golf course when there is no wind you need to play it a must

thanks guys

Everyone here is tip top. Great layout, super friendly staff, great condition, good food, nice clubhouse. Hard to beat this place. A truly great value and fun time.

A must play course in the valley

The Classic Club and Desert Willow Firecliff are my top two go-to public courses in the valley. Course conditions were great, greens rolled true staff was friendly. The bunkers were in fantastic shape. Play this course if you get a chance.

Picked a bad day to play this course. Wind conditions were terrible. Course fairways and greens were good.
