INSIDE CLASSIC CLUB
MAJOR DEVELOPMENT
New nearby arena set to break ground this spring
B
efore we know it, Coachella Valley residents and visitors will
be able to play an incredible round of golf at Classic Club,
enjoy a first-class dinner at Bellatrix Restaurant, and then take
in nighttime entertainment ranging from professional hockey to top
musical acts – all in one entertainment "complex" right
next door to the golf course just off the Cook Street
exit north of Interstate 10 in Palm Desert.
After years of expected development on the land
surrounding Classic Club, construction on a
300,000-square-foot arena is planned to break
ground in May on property adjacent to the golf
course owned by the H.N. and Frances C. Berger
Foundation, which also owns Classic Club. Home to a
new American Hockey League team that will be the top
minor-league affiliate of the NHL's Seattle Kraken, the 10,000- to
11,000-seat venue is being developed by the Oak View Group and
could attract everything from entertainment to conventions.
The new arena will be a welcome addition to the Valley and has
the potential to provide a big boost to our 15-year-old Arnold Palmer-
designed course and its restaurant with hockey, concerts and other
events happening throughout the year for families to enjoy.
I think the arena development is going to be hugely impactful for
Classic Club. And I think Classic Club will be impactful for the arena,
having such a great golf course, restaurant and special event facility
right next door.
