Slow play. High handicappers, this is not your course.

This course was designed by Arnold Palmer for PGA tournaments. That means that this is a difficult course. Unfortunately, we were behind 2 groups of high handicappers who made the pace of play unbearably slow. There are over 100 golf courses in the Coachella Valley. If you are a golfer who cannot keep your score under 100, this is not the course to test your skills. For the love of golf, please be mindful that when you are out there losing golf balls, searching for your ball, or just lacking the ability to hit a golf ball over 150 yards, you are affecting everyone’s round behind you. It’s a beautiful course and fun to play if you have a respectable game. Unfortunately, I never want to play it again because of the torturing slow pace of play on my round.

Wonderful Golf Course

The Classic Club is an excellent golf course that is challenging, excellent condition and beautiful views. The only negative was the pace of play. The Ranger was ineffective, and one group brought pace to a crawl. Pace of play impacted the overall experience but still a good day.

Inaugural Classic

Beautiful range, chipping, and putting areas. Played from the Blue tees on the front nine. Wind came up on back nine and elected to play from the whites. Course was immaculate. Greens were around 10. Played in afternoon. Lots of water and bunkers. Bring your A game if your playing Black or Blue tees.

Best experience to date in the desert

Lovely golf course and absolutely exceptional customer service. The GPS on the carts is flawless, touch screens are on par with an iPhone.

A really well run course at every touch point. At the price level there is nothing better in the coachella valley.

Great experience

Wonderful course, great pro shop, great staff. Not sure why military/ first responders can only reserve 48 hrs in advance (for discount) when no morning tee times are ever available..
