The Classic Course

Golf Course in Palm Springs, California :

A public course, the Classic Club Golf Course was built by the valleys ultra-benevolent H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation, then donated to the Hope Classics parent organization as a way to benefit the foundations charitable giving throughout the valley. Construction began in 2004 and was completed in October 2005.

The Classic Club represents a different breed as desert courses go. Spread across 246 acres on the north side of Interstate 10 in the outer reaches of Palm Desert, this is a course with no palm trees. Filling that void are some 4,800 other trees and plants. Spacious, sculptured fairways and 30 acres of lakes and streams add serenity to this 18-hole, par-72, Arnold Palmer-designed project. There also is minimal adjacent residential development. Only four holes will have housing units within a tee shot.

This is a more traditional kind of course with a lot of pine trees. And you play 18 holes without going through neighborhoods, says Marc Aulerich, the courses general manager. This Palm Springs golf course has a lot of contouring [more than five million cubic yards of dirt were moved during construction] and it will be a great course for tournament galleries because of vantage points.
