Be Prepared

Would be a tough course for higher handicap players. All fairways are quite undulating, a ton of water on the course as well as strategically placed fairway bunkers. Bunkers surround every hole and greens are quite fast. Very tough to hold almost any type of approach shot and danger surrounds almost all greens. Cart staff very friendly! Played 18 in about 4.5 hrs.

Best course so far in Palm Desert

Beyond beautiful with water features on every hole. Course conditions were perfect with blooming flowers everywhere. Tee boxes ranged from black to orange. We played purple and Alphonso and Ken played Blue. Great golf shop. A little confusing about where to find clubs at end of round.

A Palm Desert Must Play!

As a Southern California resident I’ve been golfing in and around Palm Desert for years I made the mistake of waiting to play here. This is a must play if you’re looking to finally test your skills. Beautiful desert gem, incredible how sitting alone off the freeway this unassuming course fits beautifully in this landscape. It is true to its name Classic!

One of the best desert courses

Course was very well maintained with a great design. Staff was helpful and friendly. Price is a little steep at over $200, but as somebody who has played many courses in the palm springs area, this is easily one of the nicest courses in the desert.

Amazing

This course is perfection. Played 18 with my brother (I'm an 8.6 hcp and he is a 4.5 hcp) and we were both impressed. This may be one of the best courses I've ever played which includes the staff experience. Just so I can throw out some cons, a couple of the bunkers were thin on sand, one of the mowers parked in the landing area on one hole waiting for us to hit, and the toilet paper was thin (lol). We will be playing again tomorrow and if I'd known about their specials we would have played it all week. Must play in PS.

Best I’ve Played

Can’t say much other than it’s my new favorite! Layout, meh. Condition, WOW! Amenities, dialed. Worth every penny EXCEPT my buddy who booked through the course got a free bag towel and a $25 drink/food voucher with his round - I did not “because I booked through GolfNow”. Staff wouldn’t budge on even a complimentary towel so that was a bummer.
