The Classic Golf Club in Spanaway sprawls across rolling hills blanketed with towering Douglas firs. Located just 30 minutes south of Tacoma, it is one of the area's hidden gems, offering not only a beautiful natural setting but also a challenging round. The layout features elevated greens, tree-lined fairways, and ponds and wetlands that come into play on several holes. The greens are the most challenging element of the golf course. Some are small, which is tough enough to maneuver as it is, and most are framed by mounding. Sand bunkers also provide contrast against the smooth and fast-rolling greens. The Classic is a challenging course but still playable for all skill levels.

Ok course but staff are no fun

I would like to start by apologizing to the guy in the pro shop for turning up and trying to play a round of golf at your course. So sorry it wont happen again.
Turned up an hour early asked if it was possible to get on early and was told in no uncertain terms that Golf Now bookings wont be moved as that is the tee times that are sold,paid for my round an waited on the practice green next to the first tee and saw no one for 45 minutes start at the tee box. Course itself is just okay, the fairways are very hacked up lots of divots nothing filled in by ground staff, tee boxes in same state. Greens were okay tho rolled nice and had a decent speed. Course is not the easiest around they use fairway bunkers both grass and sand to good use to steer you around the course. There is better courses around but there is worse also but definitely there is much friendlier helpful pro shop staff.
