SilverRock (Arnold Palmer Classic)

Debuted in 2005, the Arnold Palmer Classic is the first of two planned courses at an ambitious residential development within the SilverRock Resort. This 7,578-yard monster co-hosted the PGA Tour’s Humana Challenge (formerly known as the Bob Hope Classic) from 2008 to 2011.

In the Palm Springs Area Golf Guide, Daniel Wexler commented as follows; “the City of La Quinta’s Silver Rock Resort reportedly cost $58 million (!) to build, yet was dropped from the Bob Hope Classic rota after an initial four-year run. Aesthetically the Arnold Palmer-designed layout is beautifully situated flush against the mountains – a point only slightly diminished by the concrete-walled Coachella Canal where it crosses several holes.”
