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.

Wow, wonderful but too hot
Excellent beautiful course. Challenging too.
Too hot to enjoy. Don't recommend if over 94 degrees
Good,...but not great
Hard to believe that this was once a PGA tour course -- or maybe why it isn't any longer. Don't mean to be too negative as it was a good course in good to excellent condition,...but,,... not memorable.
Must play in Palm Springs.
Great conditions and layout. First class facility run by Troon golf.
My favorite course in Palm Springs area
Have played 30 + courses in area over the last 15 years and Classic Club is # 1 without question. Every hole is memorable . Views amazing as well as service by staff at course and in restaurant . Love holes 9 thru 12 the best
Classic Club
The sand traps need more sand. Pin positions were tournament positions on some holes. Overall course in good shape.
Best Course in Palm Springs area
We arrived at the course and were greeted by two guys at the bag-stand, they did everything right. The place is luxury. Undoubtedly the finest golf course I have played in 20 years. You had to search to find a spot that was not perfect on the course, and the user friendly first cut was 20 yards wide.
Our Golfnow tee time was @ 10:48 AM. We checked in, went to the range and the starter approached us. Since we were a twosome and lots of people were already on the course he asked if we would like to start on #8, close to the clubhouse, and we would be out in front of everyone. Of course we would. The Golf course is incredible, there are lakes all over the place, massive waterfalls, many, many sand traps and very nice elevated greens. When we got off the green @ 18, a guy was there to escort us to the 1st tee to finish our front 7.
We finished our round in just over 3 hours and I looked at my brother and said, "If they offer a decent replay fee, would you like to play a second round". He said "you must be reading my mind" We asked the cart guys and Marshal. Yes, a very reasonable $25 and the first tee is open.
We paid the fee and finished the second round in just over 3 hours. The cart guy cleaned up our clubs, jumped on the back and invited us to drive the cart to our car.
A great day at a magnificent golf layout, what more could you ask for. This place knows how to treat their customers, something that is truly appreciated.
Should be a top choice while in Palm Springs
Excellent course conditions. Wide open play. Wife with 25 handicap had a good time from purple T at 5300 yds. Blue at 6700 fair challenge for me. We both played while virtually wide open in front and behind us. Locker rooms very nice, we showered after the round. Food (salmon sandwich) and beverage service great. Nice staff.
GREAT round and lunch
Round included GPS cart, unlimited water bottles on ice every few holes, range balls, $15 lunch coupon. Course in fantastic condition. Best round this week in Palm Springs. Salmon sandwich cooked perfectly. Cold beer and cocktails in club house complemented the good food. Oh, and I played with my wife who is a 25 handicap and the course was very fair from forward tees. Good time for both.
The best of Palm Springs
Absolutely a must play in Palm Springs. The place oozes class - from the welcome to the little gifts to the 5 star golf course. You know you're on a class course when the first tee grass looks better than most of the greens you have played on ! Fairways immaculate - you could stick a flag in them anywhere and they'd be better than most of the greens elsewhere ! Sure - it's not cheap but class usually costs !
Fun Course from the Right Tees
I had heard great things about the course, and I wasn't disappointed. The course is in good shape for summer, though some of the fairways were soaked to the point of having mud balls in 100 degree weather. I wouldn't want any part of this course from the tips, especially on a windy day. I played the white tees and it was fun. I had trouble with the speed of the greens, but I'm not used to Bermuda greens. I don't think it's my favorite course in the desert, but it's a good one.
this is a great track
Very good for your money. The most imortant play with in your ability ( proper tee box ) a great test for concetration. Will always play when in Palm Springs.
A must play!
Based on all the reviews that I've read on this course, I must say it has been on the top of my list of courses to play here in the Valley and it didn't disappoint. A great facility, layout, and course conditions (even though they had just versi-cut and dusted the greens). I received a great rate on GOLFNOW and the course provided a free towel and $15 Food/Beverage credit on top of that! Highly recommeded/Must play!
Great day
I had wanted to play the course for sometime and finally did. Why did I wait so long? A wonderful facility with extraordinary staff. From the moment I dropped my bag I was treated like a member for a day. I actually told the pro my own club could learn from their customer service. The course was in very good shape despite the heat. The fairways were plush and the greens ran true with good speed. They had bottomless ice cold bottle water which was needed and appreciated. The beverage cart and Grill were both very good with excellent employees. All in all a great day. I will go back and I highly recommend the Club to others.
Good course to play
The course was in really good condition.
The greens were s little slow maybe from bring aerated a few weeks ago.
The price was a good summer rated for GolfNow. Came with a free Classic Club towel & $15 food voucher.
Disappointed with GolfNow
Disappointing to know that I booked on line and picked a time that for whatever reason did not include the food voucher. Same price for other time times in this time slot. For example, 8 minutes later or earlier this would be included. So not only paid Golf Now a booking fee but ended up not getting what was promoted on the site! Second time that your site has been misleading during our vacation. Lots of choice both directly at courses and on other similar golf sites. Definitely will be looking elsewhere in the future!!
Course has great add ons like free Towel and $15 F&B Voucher. Great value for your money.
First 9 was really slow. Was raining most the time so that didn't help. But after 10 holes the groups in front packed it in and we ripped out for the rest of the holes. It's a beautiful course and would wanna play it again on a sunny day.
go the distance
The course was very playable. The pace was great we finished in 3h10m
And enjoyed every minute. Just wish they would have lowered the temperature a bit it was 107. But we had a great time. There was plenty of ice and water around the course to keep you refreshed. The staff was great very knowledgeable and friendly. I would play there in a heart beat.
Beautiful course
The course is beautiful in spite of it being in sunmer condition. The green had been punched and sanded a week ago. I always like playing this course...when it isn't windy. Lol
Terrible conditions
Usually this course is in great condition, but right now it is virtually unplayable. Horrible greens and horrible fairways. It should not be open for play.
