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.

A Classic
From the time you drive up to the impressive golf club to the time you leave you get the impression that this facility is a cut above. The price for gold includes golf, practice facilities, a nice towel momento, a $15 food voucher and first class treatment all around. The course is set up for seasoned golfers but is fair to decent ball strikers. Greens are the best I have played in quite some time. The food and beverage service was also above average and reasonably priced. All around this place is good value for the serious golfer.
Great experience!
You can tell when you get out of the car the attitude that a course brings. In this case it was about customer service. It was every employee's goal no matter who to make sure we had a very good time. They did not disappoint! This place is one of my all time favorites!!! I will be back!!!
Beautiful course
This was absolutely the most well-kept course I have played. The grasses were green, full, and trimmed perfectly.
The layout and hazard features provided a nice challenge; not easy but not too difficult.
Staff was friendly throughout and the carts were very comfortable. Cart GPS is also a nice feature here.
I would definitely play here again and recommend it to friends.
What an awesome experience!!!
What an awesome place!!! We couldn't have asked for a better golfing experience!!! We will be back!!!
Nice cours...very slow play
I enjoyed the front nine. But, the nearly 3 hour back nine will not bring me back.
Classic Golf
A great course, beautiful, bring you A game for the back side.
Water Ahead
Wouldn't expect to play a course with as much water as this one in the desert. Overall extremely challenging!
Dry conditions on the fast fairways made it a task to stay in play.
Would love a second crack at this gem!
Great course
Love the whole experience here . Great value, practice facility, pro shop ,lunch ,playing experience, happy hour after. All too notch !
Beautiful course well groomed challenging . A don't miss while on Palm Springs area
Great day of golf
Conditions of this course were generally great. Only issue that could use attention were the bunkers and lack of sand. Maybe due to recent rains, but seemed like 1/2" of sand over slabs of granite. Greens are challenging to read but rolled true.
Things were pretty backed up - we teed off about a 1/2 hour late and pretty much waited on every hole but still managed to finish in a little over 4-1/2 hours. Staff was very friendly. Would play here again but probably only at promotional or summer rates.
Classy vlassic
The greens had just been treated which made putting an adventure but otherwise the course was as expected. It is long, challenging but fair. The clubhouse and pro shop are first class and the food was very good. Staff were friendly and helpful with a strong commitment to service. We play this course every year on our annual escape from Alberta to Palm Springs.
Just one hiccup otherwise a great day golfing
Course conditions as good as almost any course that I remember playing, very well done in every way.
Challenging and creative layout with enough tee boxes for most skill levels. Will definitely try and play here again.
Challenging scene while checking in. I asked the gent who was checking us in to please be sure that our Troon account numbers were recorded. He responded with a very negative attitude, informing me that since we booked the golf through Golf Advisor (ultimately Golf Now), that they do not give Troon members credit since Golf Now receives all of the green fees. Not something that you would normally dump on a customer, AND we found the course via reviews on Golf Advisor.
HOWEVER, seeing the we were obviously disappointed, a different clubhouse attendant followed us outside, retrieved our Troon numbers, and assured me that he would not only enter our Troon numbers against our green fees, he would also see to it that we received credit for the $$ that we spent in the clubhouse. THIS is what creates loyal customers. If not for this gent, we would never have returned to this golf course. Because of him, we shall try to play it many more times, and recommend it to our golfing friends who are plentiful. Good job kid, make him the GM.
A beautiful, well-manicured course!
Course was in impeccable shape.....fairways were perfect and greens rolled smooth and true. All staff members were very friendly and helpful. It was a great round in a beautiful setting!
Excellent golfing experience
We had a wonderful time at Classic Club. The course condition and the view are spectacular. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. To top it up they gave us two golf towels as souvenirs and two coupons $15/pp to enjoy after golfing at the beautiful club house. What a deal!!!
The course was GREAT!! Unlike other PS courses. Lots of water in play. Staff was very courteous and helpful. A must play!!
Great Memories
haven't played there for a while but played often a few year ago and it only bring back great memories. Greg is a great leader for the club and keeps it in great shape.
Great value
Played with the wife and my brother and while the weather was poor the course was great. The towel, divot tool and ball marker along with lunch was a great value. They have bottled water along the course for free as well. The course was in great shape and we really enjoyed it.
When in town again we will be back.
Just a great morning
Everything about my morning at the Classic Club was perfect; from the staff to the practice facilities to the starter to the flawless conditions and great pace of play (under 4 hours on a Saturday for 3 golfers is unheard of!); it was just a great day! We stayed for lunch and that was fantastic as well!
Well done everyone!
