Excellent course, great condition

We got a great Sunday special at $99, much less than the regular price. The course is truly in great condition (tees, fairways, greens), the clubhouse is beautiful, and the restaurant is excellent (we had lunch after playing). Most of the bunkers were a bit crusty, which is too bad as the sand was really nice... just needed raking. LOTS of bunkers and most of the greens were very protected. Water on a few holes... just avoid it!

Gorgeous course

This is a beautiful course, staff are very friendly and helpful. The meal voucher and food are excellent and factored in make the value more reasonable. The starter was fabulous and Marshall’s keep a close eye on things to keep things moving. A beautiful facility and very well run. Thank you.

Punishing slopes to the water

Awesome course. Would play again. Lost count how many balls rolled into the water. The starter was very nice and tried to warn us about every slope rolling to the water more than you would think -- should have listened better. Very beautiful course. Wish I played better.

Great Palmer design.. Pricey but lunch was included so it ended up being more reasonable. Don't leave Classic Club off of your Palm Springs rota!

Pricey, But a great course!

Playing here was a bit pricey, but offset by $25:vouchers for lunch at their great restaurant. But what a course! Beautiful Arnold Palmer design. Fabulous condition. A fair course from the proper tees.

Excellent golf course and facility

Everything was top notch. We have played here for about 15 years. Lunch or dinner voucher and nice golf towel included with a round of. This year they ran out of towels to give as part of package. Understandable but why not give alternative merchandise.

Nice track

Impressed with the pace of play - played all 18 holes starting at 3:10 in 4 hours. Course is in good shape (tees, fairways, greens) … bunkers very firm like many of valley courses. Great service (clubhouse, dining, starter, etc).

Don't Miss This Course

A great course. While $175 pp in season is a little steep, you get a $25 voucher to use anywhere on the course ... pro shop, restaurant, beverage cart. The staff was exceptional....knowledgeable, professional, and personable. Just a great all-around experience.

Well maintained and challenging

Course is in great shape. Definitely need to consider the roll towards the water on many holes and make sure to check line for shots or you will donate a few balls. Greens rolling well and pace of play is good considering the length of holes and green to tee. Will be back.
