Arizona Traditions Golf Club offers a parkland style golf course that has panoramic views of the White Tank Mountains. An enhancement project for the course in 1998 put in an abundance of trees, shrubs, and flowers on the course. Although it has a short layout, the golf course is quite challenging with difficult sloped greens and rolling fairways lined with forestry. Rolling hills, extensive greenside and fairway mounding, and water hazards provide an interesting game. Five sets of tee boxes ensure that golfers of all skill levels can enjoy the course. Arizona Traditions Golf Club also has a driving range, chipping area, and putting green for golfers to use.

Rude workers!!!

We arrived only 10 minutes before tee time because my friend coming in from Chandler had some traffic issues. We were met by a rude counter lady. Then we hustled to the 8 th tee to find another rude guy who was the Marshal. Our play was fast but got reprimanded 3 times by the Marshal to speed up play because of Men’s group behind us. Garbage. I finally told him to leave us alone and the group behind us were also rude. I will never play this course again!

This was worth the cost. The pace of play was extremely slow, though it was still an awesome day to partake in the game.

A Gem

When I get the time to go south Arizona Traditions is one of my favorite places. Staff is always friendly and helpful and the food sometimes cooked on the grill outside!

Course conditions have always been great when I have played there. Any level would have a great time playing there.

Pin placement was tough

My main complaint is that many of the pin placements were on the edge of where the green fell away causing your ball to end up several feet if not yards from the pin. The pin placement really slowed down the pace of play as golfers had to take several more strokes before holing their ball.

Nice local course

This is very straight forward course. As fairly typical for a desert course, the tee boxes, fairway and greens were watered and green; while, the rest was dry and brown. A few of the green were marred with what looked like water damage (like a small stream ran through it). Overall, it was a good value, and I enjoyed the round.

Stuck behind a youth tournament

We were the second group after a youth girls walking tournament after noon. First they closed the grass part of the driving range and required use of the pads instead of grass which made it very difficult to warm up. Then the pace of play behind the girls was so slow it took us 3.5 hours to do the front nine. The tournament staff even stood on the green of the holes before we could tee off on each hole to keep separation from us. Couldn't get into a rhythm, was extremely frustrating. I even timed one of the tournament players lining up her 3 ft putt at 4 min. Would love to play again but paying the premium price for that experience was aggravating.

Awful Customer Service

I have played AZ Traditions a few times now. We usually just look for hot deals and play on a budget. Every time we have played Arizona Traditions it’s an aggravating experience from pulling into the parking lot until hitting the first tee box. Staff is rude all over the course. The woman working the desk at pro shop is always snappy and aggressive. After our first experience my girlfriend avoids going into the pro shop completely. The gentleman working golf carts was short and sort of talked down to us as well. We are a couple in our mid twenties and just want to enjoy the game. Often times we have great experiences with course staff, but that definitely doesn’t happen with Arizona traditions. Unfortunately this course has become a last resort for us trying to get in a round last minute looking for a hot deal. If there are ANY other options to play then I would recommend steering clear of Arizona traditions.

Other than staff, the course conditions are usually decent and we didn’t have any issues with pace of play.
