Classic Golf Club

worst corse in washington state, like trying to play golf in a clear cut

Now It's just another course. Lost are the narrow fairways making course management critical. Lost is the feeling of being by yourself on each hole.
Course is in pretty good condition (could use some sand in the traps) but it is truly ugly with the torn up remnants of trees and trunks lining the fairways. I don't know if I will be back with those inflated prices either.

The classic is a nice course, with fun challenging/frustrating greens. they have recently removed some trees which makes it not as tough and narrow as it once was. Once the left over tree scraps are removed and maybe some flowers or something is put in its place it'll be a 5 star course.

I'd recommend it especially for the price I got my round on the golf now app.

One other thing that could be improved is the signage at the beginning of holes and pointing to the next hole.

If you want to play a 6hr round with no Marshall controlling anything plus to top it off trees cut down with nothing cleaned up come here!!

I only played this course a 2nd time after the tree removal project. Never saw the course before. I like how it looks with less trees. But everything has not been removed or cleared out yet. So there are areas that are in bad shape from trees laying on them and the vehicle damage from the project. I'm sure it will look great after its cleared out and there is no effect from the improvements they did. RMG did same thing at McCormick Woods only they took twice as many trees out. Both lay outs look brighter and give a feeling of openness. The greens were in good shape and are tricky.

in 2016.... Obviously making some big changes to the course with a long way to go. Need to clean up the trees, repair the tee boxes and water hazards. The greens will need some attention. The golf carts were a joke... very old, holes in the first one I tried and duct tape on the second for the bag cover. The guys in the clubhouse were "putting in their time"... certainly not there to help get me back next time. Left thinking this could be a great place down the road with some good management but I wouldn't bet on it...

This is not a well-managed course. Play should not suffer due to eyesores and like MANY piles of tree limbs and ugly stumps. The fairway and greens played excellent, but this course needs a makeover.
Water hazards with tarps showing, ground-up asphalt on the unkempt cart paths (they need repaving in many spots) and THE DEBRIS!!! I gave a two-star overall because the staff are working with what they have due to a windstorm. If this was my business I would do the responsible thing and close it until all of the many problem areas were presentable to all of my guests.

The Classic is one of my favorite tracks. Very challenging from the blues with firm fast and undulating greens. It is a totally different look now that they have removed 1200 trees. Some debris is still on the course and there are tracks from heavy equipment across many fairways. Probably be pretty decent by the end of the summer.

Cool green complexes. Shots into the greens interesting due to the variety on pin placement possibilities . Can see how this course could devlop a player of Ryan Moore"s ilk. Highly recommend this track.

Had a fun round on Saturday. Played with three new friends and had a blast. They have opened up the course to bring in the light but haven't taken away the difficulty

They have cut down a lot of trees on this course since I played here a couple of months ago. It changed the look and the feel of the golf course. One of the things I liked about the course before was the feeling that every hole was indeed only your hole and you didn't see other golfers on other holes. It has now opened the course up and has significantly changed the feeling and also has made a lot of holes play easier. I believe they have drastically reduced the challenge as well as the esthetic pleasure the course once offered. The course was in good shape albeit very slow greens.

Other than all the tree limbs that they have scatter through out the rough from the course clearing, the course is in remarkable shape. The greens were a little furry But I can't wait until this summer, could be one of WA best courses.

This course is always in great shape and the staff is always friendly. They have a nice driving range for warm up/practice and one of the few courses that offer a chipping green.

One of the fun parts of this course is if you dont keep it in the fairway you will be punished! Not a level lie any time I went off the short grass- so challanging and fun!

Another thing is, it was January when we played and the bunkers were in the best shape of any course I play this time of year!

Go play the Classic and you'll be happy you did!

The course was in really nice shape for the season a little soupy in spots and the greens were slow but I'll probably be able to give a better review in the summer over all it was a pleasant experience . Ty

We played the course from the Blue Tees which was about 6300 yards and it played long no roll in the fairway. That being said it was a great round, the greens were in good shape , the course dry in most of the landing areas. For the price $30 with a cart you cannot go wrong.... We notice during the round that there are a number of trees marked for removal which will change the complexion of this course. I think this is going to be a gem of a course to play in 2015!!!

Overall the course was in great shape for the middle of winter. An enjoyable time and will return soon.

Conditions were great even though there were recent storms. very fast pace of play . prolly due to the fact there was a seahawks game on .Had great weather after the fog cleared and will come back in the spring /summer when my swing comes back around and I can keep it out of the trees LOL.

the greens were amazing for this time of year. dress the courses in pretty good condition me and my friends enjoyed it.

There isn't a green on the course that doesn't present a challenge to read, and the fairways are tight with little room for error, but it is very walkable and a fun course to play

First time playing the golf course...and I was impressed with the layout and the challenge of it all. For late fall conditions, the course was in pretty good shape. Beautiful, tree lined fairways with nicely contoured greens. Some of the bunkers need some more sand in them, a little thin, but nicely shaped. For the value, the experience was very tough to beat. I will come back and play again, for sure. And Joe in the Pro Shop did a great job getting me out there, no hassles, a very nice and smooth experience. I feel they have a nice gem out there in Spanaway.
