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.

Greens

The greens are hard to putt on because of the

Airating of the greens. I know it’s normal treating the greens this time of year.

Otherwise, the fairways were in good shape!

Always enjoy the Traditions!

Traditions that stick!

Excellent course and well maintained. Just need a little cart with the man that tells people that just because its a holiday, doesn't mean your on a nature walk!!! Too many slow players and nobody prodding them to speed up!

Course is in terrible shape

45$ is about 35$ too much. Terrible shape, bare fairways. Bare spots on green. Holes had not been moved for days, maybe a week? Lips were rounded not square, with weeds growing on green. Save your money and avoid this course.

Rough Going

At the moment Traditions is pretty beat up. The greens are sandy as they have been aerated. Fairways have many more bald spots. Crews working the course, but the summer heat finally got to the grass. However, still a course to support and play.

Traditions has become a Tradition

Playing it many times this year Traditions has become a very familiar course although it still presents challenges I enjoy playing it. The August heat has taken its toll on the course but the maintenance staff is doing their best to ready the course for the next 9 months. Love it and it is surely worth the money to play

Bring your patience

Front 9 greens are absolute score killers, due to my putting ability. . Challenging for sure. Back 9 are not as bad. Greens conditions would be a 7 out of a 10. As there's a few greens that are in the process of being repaired. Overall the course is very nice and definitely worth your time and money to play.

Out dated

This course was terrible. It wasn't kept well at all. The greens had dirt patches and dead grass every hole. There most have been a major pipe that blew because they trenched out alot of the greens and there was water everywhere. I will not be returning.

Horrible Course Management

I played weekly, and play this course about every 2-3 months as it is next to my house. Since my last visit, the course management has gone tremendously downhill. 3 holes in we were already bottlenecked as they book tee time every 8 minutes. I recorded the time sitting in the golf cart at 1:45min. Ranger didn’t do anything to help. The greens are all dead, along with the fairways. The course was in terrible shape. It was also way overwatered and created muddy pits. The older folks drive their carts right up to tee boxes/greens and ranger again does nothing in regards to it. They want $45 to play this course, and I truly think it’s a $15 course. It’s a money grab, and if you like sitting in your cart more than playing, and love terrible fairways/tee boxes/greens, this course is for you.

Traditions Feeling the Summer Heat

This time of year is difficult for most courses. Traditions which is great 9 months out of the year showed signs of the summer heat and lack of rain. Fairways were choppy and some greens were scarred. Hope it gets better for the fall season

STAFF UNPROFESSIONAL

My boys play this course once a week and decided to play a round after work today after 10 minute wait at the gate we arrive and the lady in the pro shop asks us are we here to golf. We say yes she says if you were here 15 minutes ago you could have golfed.

3pm in AZ we get turned away this is bad business for regulars and for one of the highschool golf team players who regular here.

Until they figure out a staff that knows how to run a tee sheet we will spend our time and money elsewhere.

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.
