The Classic Club

A large portion of the holes wrap around a lake on the right (one on the left). The course is very repetitive, and it does not seem to us that it is a customary Arnold Palmer design. Because of the repetitiveness, the course became boring. Also, fairways are very wide and therefore the course is quite forgiving. It is very well groomed and in quite good condition, but overpriced for what it is. We paly most of the courses in the Palm Springs/LaQuinta area, and this is not near our top choices.

Course is well designed and challenging Pace of play is awful. It took well over 5 hours for the round. Rangers would not do anything to help. We were told that people complain if they are told to pick up pace. It was not uncommon to wait over ten minutes between shots. Several holes had three groups waiting on the tee. Bunkers are poor as well. Very little sand any mostly hardpan.

Great design with some teeth if its windy! Classic Palmer with lots of left to right action. Very nice condition

This is a great golf course, but they have let the bunkers go to where many are unplayable! Many are washed out, or very muddy, and this was not as a result of recent rain.

This problem really detracts from this course, and I will not play again until this is addressed.

This is a perennial stop when I am in the area but the conditions over time have become worse. Service is great and facility is excellent. The fairways were fair but the firmness of the greens was absolutely unnecessary. I am a single digit handicap and couldn’t hold the greens unless i hit the front. Not sure if this was a mistake but it really took away from the experience. Also the bunkers were unconditioned (very little soft sand with super firm base). I will play here again but if the conditions are the same it will be the last time. I expect more out of this place.

Make sure you play when there is no wind. Otherwise course is very challenging and beautiful.

Only complaint is they were quoting a 30 minute wait for lunch. Coming off a golf course I have never seen something like this. In my opinion there is nobody that could possibly be dining at 12:30 that is more important than someone walking off your course looking to enjoy the 19th hole.

Otherwise all staff and course conditions should be commended.

Really enjoyed the course. Layout and conditions were good.

We had an 8 AM time and played in four hours and 10 minutes This is a well-designed course in excellent condition with very friendly staff it is certainly among the best horses in the palm desert /Palm Springs area. Really good greens

Was expecting this course course to be on par with top courses in the area, however I would have to say this course fell slightly short. While the green speed was nice and fast and the course conditions were solid, certain parts of the course were not well maintained. The bunkers had a complete lack of sand and were not pleasant to hit out of, this was a major detractor for us given that this is advertised as a top course. The rough in certain areas were quite burnt out. However, course design was pretty solid with strategically placed water, bunkers, doglegs and thought this was a pretty fun course. Further, there were a couple add ons we to our round including a food gift card and free towel that added to the value of the course. If the course re-sanded their bunkers I would be likely to give this course a more positive review.

A beautiful course with gorgeous views. Great staff and excellent practice facilities.

Great challenge. Fantastic staff. Great food at the turn. We will be back in the future. Driving range was great to find a swing from winter rust. Green speed was fast for our group. But very consistent and we learned to adjust.

Great course layout. The club house was beautiful. Fiarways were in pretty good,. Wheb we checked in we recieved a course towel and a $15 food and beverage coupon. The price we recieved from Golf now was $109. So getting a towel and tbe coupon made this a very reasonable price for golf in Palm Springs.

Great course but the play was so slow. The ranger just drove around and did nothing to speed up play. Too bad because it ruined the experience

Great Golf Course and Great Conditions. We are looking forward to playing it again.

Unfortunately though, we were paired up with a nice twosome who could have played a little faster. We had to let a group go through on 10th hole and it seemed until then and for most of the back nine we felt rushed. We finished in 4 hours and 30 minutes and are not sure if that was good or not at Classic Club, but the rushing by the friendly Marshals did put a damper on the round.
