A little disappointed

Being December, didn’t expect perfect conditions, but there were a few areas on/around fairways that were a little rough. In addition, the greens were very slow due to excessive moisture from over watering (8:00 tee time contributed). Very friendly staff. $150 green fee (through golfnow) still a bit much vs cost/quality of other course I played the same trip.

A Desert Beauty

Wonderful course with scenic waterfalls, islands, and water everywhere in the shadow of the mountains. Great layout. Played from white tees at recommendation of starter who claimed "the course plays longer than the card". In fact the course plays much shorter. I used a hybrid to tee of Don 5 holes and a 3metal on three others. Great staff. Did not feel rushed or harried. Round for foursome took 4:10. Would play this course again in a heartbeat, but from the blues.

Always a good play

Weather was perfect with little wind. The Classic Club has long been one of my favorites in the desert. Fast true greens, and a course in great condition with a good lunch and towel thrown in every time we play.
It will always be on my playlist when I visit.

Immaculate facility with impressive service

The entire staff and Classic Club was friendly, attentive and obviously proud of their magnificent facility. The course played great and as described by the starter.

Heed the advice of playing away from the water as the fairways slope more than normal to the water hazards.

Enjoy what will surely be a great day / round at Classic Club!

Beautiful track…an arnie gem

Only reason for course conditions rating was they are getting ready to overseed so the sprinklers had been turned off for a few days already prior to our play date. The course was pretty dry and greens a bit shaggy as a result but definitely playable…just not it’s usual beauty shape however.

Great Layout - In some Repair

Course layout is great, and some holes are very appealing. A few fairways were/have been under repair and showed distress, new patches, or brown dead areas. Greens not bad for the most part - some silly pin placements, and covered in brown dead grass. Plays longer than expected, and many approaches are difficult. Would like to play again when pricing is reasonable.

Greens Only Issue

Once the staff finishes with the greens, this course would be perfect. They were a couple of weeks out from doing regular maintenance on the greens so they were a little grainy. The staff was fantastic and the food at the restaurant was excellent. Loved the course layout. I am a 14 handicap and broke 90. This course was much more difficult that what I play at home, but as you can see by my score, was fair. Fairways are generous, but you need to stay in them, LOL. I would recommend, especially if you can get a hot deal.
