Classic Golf Club
About
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.

Unfamiliar
It has been many years since I last played this course and some changes were made which made things different and unfamiliar
Great price
This course was great value for the Seattle area. There is no driving range which sucks and didn't see a beverage cart on course. Couple different practice greens. The deck at the proshop needs work. Greens were in great condition. Otherwise a very enjoyable round of golf.
Hidden Gem
This course is better then all other courses within a 15 mile radius. I love playing here! It’s challenging with many elevation changes and few truly flat spots. The greens are tricky at times but fair. The staff that works here are very casual and friendly Joe and Neal are awesome! They have a nice little pro shop with great gear and everything you might need for your round. The price is very fair for what you get and cheaper then some neighboring courses. This course feels very secluded when you play it. Very few houses on the course and lots of trees… but way less then 10years ago
No driving range
Only complaint is no driving range. Only a net to hit into. Staff told me it was under repair. Would have been nice to be alerted of that prior to booking.
👎
$30 course that charges $50 plus cart. Short track only pulled driver out 3 times
love the course, someone needs to let golfers know they need to keep up with the group in front of them. also don’t try and get one more hole in to beat the darkness, i did that and upon returning to my car at 8pm i found they had locked the gate on me!! i couldn’t believe it, luckily there was a big enough gap in the fence leading into a new development that i could get out. but who locks the gate when clearly theres still someone there?!?!
A layout this tough should be in better condition
A layout this tough should be in better condition.
Dry conditions are understandable. But plastic sheeting seen coming thru the bunkers with rocks. Random pot holes in the fairways. Amongst plenty of other things.
Sad really. I suspect it’s going the same route as other courses that have sold out to developers.
Greens are good though!

They finally put sand in bunkers, if they charged a little less I would rate it a 7 or 8
