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.

Condition

Worst municipal golf course on the west side of the valley. Not enough space to talk about the conditions. From the tee boxes, fairways, greens , so called sand traps and even the rough. Have seen better cattle pasture land than this. Not worth a penny on the dollar for what they charge to play.

Superintendent or greens keeper has know idea on what to do or to be done . Unfortunately when comment are made they seem to fall upon deaf ears, which is very sad as this course could be a fantastic and beautiful executive course.

Who do I talk to about getting my $ back? Let after 9 holes. All the greens have been lost, they were mostly without grass and were unplayable. Fellow at pro shop was miserable and was rude.

A truly great experience at every level.

I played this course for the first time yesterday. There aren’t enough adjectives to describe what a terrific team of people I met there and the layout and condition of the course. The young lady that checked me in was delightful and extremely helpful. The gentleman that provided the golf cart and course manual was friendly and totally professional. Even the gate guard that allowed me in wish me a good round. I played alone and on several occasions was offered to play through. When I returned the cart, the gentleman that met me was an Air Force veteran friendly, respectful, and exceptional in all respects. I had a great time. Thank you to all that made it possible!!

Greens are in bad shape especially hole #1

Greens are in bad shape (fungus) especially hole #1. This was a surprise, this course always has been in good shape and a pleasure to play. Fix the greens please!

Patchy and disappointing

It really sucks when you book a tee time on GN and there is no warning that there is course maintenance or half the course is closed. There needs to be better policing here . Several other courses I looked at had disclaimers of aeration but not this one . Since we made the trip we decided to play . We were early so the pro shop said we could go straight to the tee . As my wife was teeing off a little old lady came up on me and asked why we were taken so long ?!?! I guess she made the turn for replay . I explained the tee was open my ball was in play and my wife was on the tee . Before I could let her tee off or join us she said she’d skip this hole and took off . Can it get any worse ?? The fairways were very patchy with dead areas . Greens were full of dead areas . Sand traps were mud pits and the course was soaked from watering . Playing as a twosome the pace of play was slow . We did get to join another twosome and played through a slower group on first 9 .( 1 1/2 hr )No luck on the second 9 ( over 2 hours waiting every shot ). I was told this course is going to have sand trap improvements soon so beware if you see a cheap rates . I assume this course is only going to be 9 hole replays for a while .

Back nine

Back nine was closed. Would not have booked a tee time had I known. There should have been a notification posted so that players are aware and not surprised or disappointed.

Info

Been playing this course for about 20 years

Always had a good experience

Today I drove 45 minutes to play

And found out that the back nine was closed down

This information was not posted on the website

Would not have driven 45 minutes when I could’ve played my home course

Knowing that I was gonna pay the front line twice

Not happy

Traditions Does Not Disappoint

Traditions for this time of the year was in pretty good shape. The fairways were a bit bumpy as they aerate and maintain them. Greens were OK for this time of the year. Had no problem with staff or the course and for the price it is definitely worth the play.

July 4 Round

While I always enjoy playing this course, the course condition during this round was not up to par, (no pun intended) the fairways were in ok condition, but the greens were not in good condition at all, the surface was bumpy and patchy, the green at the 4th hole actually has a trench at the back left side of the green,

I will play here again, and this was the first time I’ve played here that the course was in this shape, I’m sure these issues will be remedied.
