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 desert course...
Great service and layout. Course was not as green and lush as normal. For the price it fairway could be a little greener and not as patchy.
played in better conditions
course was not in good shape bare spots front nine greens very fast back nine very slow needs to be more continuant
Best Public Course in the Area
Me and a few buddies who are 90-100 players, tried this course out. First of all, the staff couldnt be more friendly, the golf carts are super nice, they gave us each $15 credit for food, free golf towel with course logo, and they put your clubs in the cart for you and will leave them at the front if you want to go eat after. I liked this place more than PGA West and Silver Rock.
Great experience
This was my 2nd time playing this course. I really loved it the first time! The 2nd time solidified my opinion! The conditions were even better this time. The greens were very consistent and the place is just beautiful. The staff is wonderful and I was not disappointed one bit. I brought three new friends to this course and they all loved it. it’s not an easy course but the surroundings are beautiful and you don’t even know that you are in the desert. A great golf oh ASIS. And the free towel and lunch voucher or an added bonus!
Favorite public course in the area!
This place is amazing! I’ve played a good majority of the public courses in the area and this one is by far my favorite. The second you walk out of the club house you’re memorized by views. I literally forgot I was in Palm Springs the whole round. There’s not a single house in sight and every bit of the course is well maintained. The course is not easy, but as long as you play smart you’ll be fine. The views you get on every hole is amazing! Let’s not forget that the fairways and greens are pure. This course will definitely be on my agenda every time I visit Palm Springs!
Great Golf Course
Highly recommend anyone going to Palm Springs for golf, put this course on your list!!!
All around was an amazing round on a course in great condition, challenging for all levels of one's experience and the service they provide is top notch.
Will absolutely make time to play this course next visit to Palm Springs.
What a layout!
Every hole is brilliantly designed with great visuals.

Excellent layout, Service second to none, staff friendliness top notch. Course conditions superlative. Only problem and not an inconvenience to players by the way, is that the beverage carts don’t have the ability to charge credit cards at their carts. They have to take the cards back to the club house. Which takes away from their ability to serve the on course patrons. Otherwise fantastic facility.
Excellent
I love this course. I have played it several times now and it is always in great condition. There are many interesting and challenging holes.The staff is very pleasant and professionally. Excellent food in the restaurant. I would not hesitate to play it again. Not a single house on the course. Very nice views. One of my favorites in the area.
Best conditioned course played in ten years
I’ve bern fortunate to be playing golf in desert since 82
Played a lot great places
Not sure any I played private or public were in this good of condition
Tough but fair , other than could have used a green chart it was darn near perfect
Now my game not in good shape but did manage a few pars and one birdie on back nine
We loved it !
Classic
Very nice course. Normally windy but the wind was down a bit an it was a pleasure to play. Plz add combo tees. White is a bit short & blue a bit long. Course was in great shape. Dude in the pro shop had no personality but the rest of the staff was very nice. I understand limited grill & restaurant hours but would have been nice to experience the amenities. Every hole on the course was unique & well-designed. Bring a very good iron game as greens are tough to hit. Par 3s are great.
Beautiful course.
Beautiful course. Lots of water. Immaculate conditions. Very challenging but would recommend for anyone because of its beauty. Pace of play was excellent.
