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.

Must Play
First time playing Classic Club. I’m a 8 handicap and found the course in excellent condition from the tee boxes to the fairways to the greens. This is a must play and will look to play this course when we come to Palm Springs in the future
Sweet
The course is in great shape. Price was right on GolfNow not go wrong with the price.
Staff was awesome they went out of their way to make our experience great!!! A must play!
Classic Club is a tribute to Arnie!
My initial tee time was 10:30am on this course on a 105 degree day:) I couldn't make it past 6 holes! The Pro Shop was kind enough to schedule me earlier the next day. The course is in the best condition of any course I've played this year. I hate water holes, as visually beautiful and refreshing as they are, and found just about every one of them:) I love the technology telling you distances instead of trying to figure out a new course's markers(though the better ones have them clearly delineated with a red stake or creatively disguised as shrubs or boulders. The cart men are attentive and ingratiating. I received a club cleaning & ride to my car. Also, a complimentary mango-infused, cold & moist towel was offered at the end of my round. Classy! I am not a fan of the new technology that stops you at an indeterminant distance from the greens or tees. You never know your boundaries. We have to suffer because inconsiderate idiots do not know golf etiquette, as evidenced by the traps with footprints and countless divots! Pshaw! Come & enjoy soon! They close for July and August.
Decent Course For Price
First, it’s off season and writing review knowing that. Lot of maintenance going on but very respectful. Greens were well maintained. Only major issue I had was pace of play. We waited minimum of 5 minutes to hit our tee and approach shots each hole. It got worse on back 9 and the group ahead of us (we got to know well because we waited together on numerous tee boxes together waiting to hit) called clubhouse to see if starter could let group ahead to pick up pace which they simply said “no”.
Epic!
Country Club golf, perfect greens, free goodies like towel and lunch. Highly recommend!
Awesome course
One of my favourite tracks in the desert. Great price from Golf Now. Start early to beat the heat and the wind! Greens were quick.
Great
The course was great, the staff was great and fir the money, one of the best.
Excellent value
We played this course for the first time since prior to COVID and were extremely pleased with the condition. The price, $100 bucks, included a $25 meal voucher for the restaurant or on-course purchases. There was virtually no wait until the final few holes and the condition of the course was excellent. There's no better value in the desert than Classic Club.
Excellent in Every Way
Course challenging but fair. In good shape. But what stood out to all of us was the staff. Each individual, from the pro shop, to the cart staff, the starter, the ‘grill girl, were helpful and sincerely friendly. It was like each one did their part to ENSURE you were taken care of and were enjoying the outing. Very rare these days. Thanks.
