Classic Golf Club

Beautifully manicured. Designed to keep your attention. A bit too short for my taste, but that doesn’t take away from the experience at all. You have to think your way through it and hit precise shots into greens surrounded by trouble. Rolling hills and subtle details will bring me back. Number 18 under renovation due to houses being built. Putting/chipping greens are top notch. No range. You can tell Ryan Moore had some input on the structure of the course. It definitely has the touch of someone who wanted to give us common folk a taste of the tour.

Flipping the sides and rebuilding the 18th hole is illogical. Fail. The new 18th hole makes no sense... Bring back the par 5

I had very fond memories of this course having played it many times, but all more than 20 years ago. Was in the area for a Friday night so decided to stay over and play here rather than pay the big bucks for Chambers Bay. Like I said, I recall liking the track and I remember it being a good value as well.

Well, it's not a good value anymore. And its not in good shape. And I swear they have not spent a dime on it since I played it 20 years ago. The clubhouse is a tiny little building from many years ago with small rooms, very small restrooms, and what you might expect from a run down Muni course - no towels, tp dispenser broken, etc. And the two bathroom houses out on the course - even worse shape.

The tee boxes are small and are not level. many have a mounding effect in the middle so that its hard to find a spot where the ball is level with your feet. And they were mostly chewed up, like there was not consistency or pattern to where they put the tee markers each day.

The groundskeeping was not great either. This course was once extremely pretty, with ponds and fountains and nice contrast from the edge of the fairway, the rough, and the natural. Now, the fairways are not bad, but the rough was very inconsistent, and the natural is sort of overtaking parts that were once manicured - especially around the water.

The greens were the best part of the course: large, irregular and with plenty of movement. And they were in reasonable shape.

But I found 3 or 4 bunkers during the round and I was in a footprint in 2 of those. And when I stood and looked around in the bunkers, I could not believe how many people had been in there and not raked. Who does that?!

I saved the worst for last. Of course there is no marshall - and this was a Saturday - but worse yet, they sent out a 5-some and a 6-some 3 groups ahead of us. And as you might imagine, it made for a 5 hour round. We had to pick up after 16 because we were going to be late getting to a dinner.

So... maybe they have really good twilight rates and no big groups, but, man, way to wreck what should have been an enjoyable Saturday round. Too much money for too little product. We will not be back.

Really? In 2018 it is unacceptable that there is a men’s bathroom with more than one stalll. (Per my husband)!but one a one stall family restroom for women. It wasn’t very welcoming.

My wife & I played The Classic Golf Club in Spanaway, WA last Saturday. We arrived well before our tee time and the friendly staff in the pro shop were able to get us off the tee within 45 minutes. The course is fairly hilly and fairways are tree lined. The greens are well bunkered, contoured and huge. There are parts of many greens you will not see from the fairway. The course was in pretty good condition overall though the roughs are a bit messy.

I would recommend this course to anyone. It's challenging without being too hard. A short straight hitter will have better luck here than a long hitter who sprays the ball and being able to navigate large undulating greens will help a lot too. Great value!

Is it too late for a classic auto museum to be built here? Probably.

Overall good experience the greens were terrific the fairways firm, considering all of the rain we've had and great value looking forward to playing again soon

Tough course with challenging large greens. I've always liked this course, but wish they would have monthly pay as you go memberships. With injuries and winter travel it will never make sense for me to sign a 12 month contract anywhere.

I love the layout and difficult greens. I think getting rid of the trees was a good idea especially when the stumps get overgrown some. the greens are tricky and fast even in rainy winter weather. cant wait to play it in summer

We played right after a frost delay so some of the greens were still frozen and some were really good but if it wasn't for the frost I assume the greens would have been in amazing shape. The course layout is perfect for anyone because you can play from the whites and play it easy or go back to the black or blues to really challenge yourself.

Since the course has cleared out a bunch of trees, it makes it much more friendly to the avg. golfer.

It was a very nice place to spend the afternoon on a Friday. Not too crowded, weather was really good for Nov.11th--( tee shirt/shorts were plenty )

The sun thru the trees from a low angle. The greens rolling good for the rain the day before. Great time with three others.

The course is all that I remember but much better views for the tree removals.

Thanks for a great day,

Beautiful course. The grass off fairway is tough and make sure to use longer club.
