Classic Club sits in Palm Desert, with holes framed by views of the Little San Bernardino Mountains. Water and bunkering feature prominently from the opening stretch onward, and the layout includes four par threes.
The first hole is a straightforward par four with water along the left and a fairway bunker that shapes the tee shot, leaving a short approach to a green sloping from back left to front right. The second, the first of the short holes, sits in an amphitheater setting with deep bunkers guarding both sides of the putting surface, placing a premium on distance control. The third plays from an elevated tee straight toward the mountains to a fairway pinched by water on the right and bunkers on the left, then uphill to a two-tiered, back-to-front sloping green with bunkers front right and front left.
