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.

Nice Layout ..

The layout of the course is quite good as is the upkeep on the fairways. The greens were bumpy and slow and obviously under repair. Regardless of a 12:30 GolfNow reservation, all golfers were sent out on a shotgun start at 1pm. I found this out after driving the 45 miles there - no choice.

The golf shop, restaurant and restrooms were closed when "all of us" completed.

Best greens for the price! Nice conditions.

First time playing here. Kudos to the irrigation staff for a great job. Fewest irrigation issues of any course we’ve played so far….Fairways were manicured and lush from side to side. Tees had lots of turf as well.

The greens were very good with consistency and solid turf cover. Probably Stimped at a solid 9.5. A lot of challenges for steep roley-poley contours. The speed matched the contours perfectly. As a retired Golf Course Superintendent I very much enjoyed playing these conditions. It was worth the 40 minute drive from Glendale. Will definitely keep this on my list of places to play with affordable rates.

Cleanliness is next to godliness

The course was in great shape and is very challenging. Fairways and greens were very nice. My only issue were a few things, number one the men’s bathrooms on both front and back nine were extremely filthy and we had a second teatime out that morning. The second issue is the guy who runs the golf carts was yelling at an employee outside, where everybody can hear him, that is poor management.

Very nice course!

Great golf course for the money, nice layout. I wish they had range balls with purchase of play. Nice greens, nice fairways. Reminds me of Stadium Course in La Quinta Ca.

Nice course!

We thought this was a great course! The greens read and rolled true and the grass around the greens was thick, but playable. I also thought this course allowed you to use all the clubs on your bag, not just your driver and your gap. The shotgun start was interesting, especially since we were first timers at the course and really had difficulty with a few of the holes. Bit overall great course with nice facilities. Great job guys!

1pm Shotgun Start

This course is always great, pace was alittle slow but that’s expected with a full course. Played this course at least 6 times, always fun.

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.
