World Cuisine and Mediterranean Luxury in a World-class Golf Setting

With a commanding view of the Classic Club’s championship course and Little San Bernardino Mountains beyond, Bellatrix Restaurant offers spectacular vistas from the second floor of the Mediterranean-style clubhouse and golf shop. Owned by The H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation and managed by Troon Golf, Classic Club specializes in weddings, charitable golf, social, community and business events.

The Club's new Executive Chef, Gerard Brunett brings more than 30 years experience in highend resorts and golf course properties such as Pebble Beach. His seasonally driven cuisine shows particular strength for Mediterranean culinary regions, often updating classics by pairing simple flavors for extraordinary tastes.

“I have been classically trained, but prefer the newer, lighter, innovative cuisines of today,” Brunett says. "My biggest influences have been Hubert Keller and Jacques Pepin for the sheer fact that food does not need to be complicated or overdone. Overall, I would define my cuisine as American continental with a touch of Asian and Mediterranean influences.”

An extensive wine list complements the menu with an array of California chardonnays, pinot noirs and cabernets from great vintners to elegant boutique wineries. Specialty cocktails and beers are available, as well as a bar menu.

The Classic Club is a truly spectacular destination for any event or celebration. Five different ceremony and reception sites allow us to personally tailor your experience to make each event one of a kind!

Masonry and waterfalls are surrounded by lily pad ponds and streams with slate bridges. A lush event lawn is framed by two lakes back-dropped by gorgeous sunsets. Indoor locales offer the suntouched dining room, ballroom, or library with fireplace and rich wood accents.

Bellatrix is open for lunch daily from 11 a.m. and dinner Tuesday through Saturday beginning at 5 p.m. Call the Classic Club's innovative catering staff to create your dream event.
