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.

Course is okay.

Price is about what it should be but wouldn’t pay any more for this course. Anything off the fairway is dirt and space dead grass that resembles hitting off of concrete.

Terrible management of pace of play

Over booked and mismanaged! Took 1 hour to play first FOUR holes! Unacceptable. At one point, FIVE foursomes backed up at 1 hole. Had to call pro shop to send out a marshal to finally get things moving. Even after that, pace of play was terribly slow.

Was not worth $75 dollars.

Indifferent staff as well. We finally {group of four} gave up and left after 15 holes and well over 4.5 hours.

We all live in Surprise and have played this course many, many times. Never experienced anything like this before. Won't go back anytime soon.

Great course but pace of play is terrible

I really like this course, but the pace of play is absolutely ridiculously slow! I mean every time. Even in visiting with an employee of the course while waiting to tee off, he says he hears this complaint a lot. He said the owner is all about booking as many as possible in the hour and even as people complain, she won’t change. Our start time was 1:40pm and could only finish 14 holes before dark. I won’t be back soon.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry your round was impacted by pace of play that day. Our tee times are set at intervals consistent with industry standards, and our team works hard to keep play moving, especially during our busier afternoon hours. We appreciate you sharing your experience and hope to welcome you back soon!

First Time Playing

Don’t waste your time

The only thing the course had going for it was conditions are decent, nothing special but for the price 0 complaints on that, everything else about my experience was terrible. We got to hole 3 and there was 4 groups waiting at the tee box, it took us 3 hours to play the front 9 and we had to wait 5+ mins at every tee box. We got to the club house barely after 5 to grab a drink and something to eat and they were already closed. We Saw the cart girl once and it was just overall bad experience I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Also the course layout is not the best either every hole feels like it’s crammed in next to each other and you just have golf balls from from random tee box’s flying past you while you are putting.

Course isn’t bad for the price, slow pace though

Fairways and greens are in great shape, rolling smooth. However, if you miss fairway you’re hitting out of dirt. Course layout was a bit awkward as you can get caught in some sliced tee shots.
