Great course

As always the course was in great condition. Few brown spots in the fairways but nothing major to change my opinion of the course. Greens were rolling nice. The course is tough when the wind picks up but still a great course.

Love to play this course

I enjoy each and every time I’m able to get out at the classic club. I think the course layout is one of the best in the desert and the off course amenities, driving range, putting green, restaurant, and Grill are all excellent. The last time I played, however, there were a couple of small issues with employees that I had not experienced in the past. Not sure if they were having a bad day or if they really just aren’t that interested in their job but outside of that it was once again a great experience.

Fun in the sun

Great experience, loved it, will come back again. A lot of challenging holes. Not a typical Desert course. Quick 4+ hour round in the heat. Very Creative layout.

Golfing at Classic Club

This was my first time playing this course. It is certainly a premier course that everyone should experience. I enjoyed the scenery and the golf course was fun.
My only disappointment was that the course played very slow. The amenities are wonderful and my wife and I enjoyed dinner at the restaurant that evening.

I certainly would play here again, however the price is a bit higher than other comparable courses!

All-around great golf experience

Classic Club was in fine form for June conditions, the greens were perfect, as were the fairways. The bunkers were a bit thin, so chip your shots out of them. The wind was up from 8 to10 and played havoc with my score, but laid down for the back side. I always check the Weather Channel before booking the desert, I play here not only because it's a great course, but because of GN tee times here. Can't go wrong playing here!

Marshal's suck!

I love this course, but the sanctimonious behavior of the course marshals ruined my day. I was paired with two nice guys who'd never played the course before, nor were they strong players. The wind howling 15-20 mph with gusts over 25. The course is extremely difficult in these conditions, made worse by the fact that the course marshals hounded us to keep up with the group in front of us. The fact was we finished 5 minutes off of the pace of the cart GPS, the group behind us was over one hole behind most of the day and the worst time we were behind was 11 minutes. Hardly a good enough reason for the marshals to harangue us seven times, especially on such a difficult day!

Great course. A little pricey

I really enjoy coming back. Always expect good course conditions. Got it. Love the clubhouse and the views. I managed to get a deal on that day we golfed. All the other days I looked were at around 150.00-160 US. For us Canucks, too expensive for 3rd week of May. I think some of these courses are trying to make their money back from Covid.
