About
Wheeler Family Traditions Golf Club (formerly known as The Tradition Golf Club at Wallingford) is one of the most affordable rounds in the area and it has received praise as one of the best golf courses in Connecticut. The par-70 layout is player friendly enough for beginners but low handicappers will also find it to be a fun round. The holes are fairly straightforward though there are some fairways that have very narrow landing areas that will test the accuracy of even the best golfers. Numerous bunkers are strategically placed along the undulating greens and water also comes into play on the occasional hole. The golf course starts out gently but becomes progressively more challenging on the back nine. The most memorable hole on the golf course, the par-3 12th, is a water hole that features an intimidating island green.

Island par 3 Photo submitted by Tim6164739 on 09/24/2013
will come again
fast greens, variety of easy and challenging holes
Really Great!!!
I played this course with one of my friends and we both enjoyed it! The course has a good layout and it is in great shape. Some tricky holes, but nothing ridiculous. The staff at this course are very nice.
A few fun holes especially the island par three and the 17th hole. The course was not very forgiving if you were just off the fairways or to the right or left of the greens. Getting anything to eat or drink was very much a challenge. There is a bar you can go into to grab something to eat or drink at the 6th hole but there was a shower or some kind of event going on. This made it impossible for any golfer to grab a quick drink or a bite to eat. We were told there were two beverage carts on the course. We were trilled to hear this seeing it was 95 degrees out but we didn't see anyone until the 7th hole. I will give the course major props that they had a few people out in the back nine handing out free water. That was a nice touch especially because we only saw a beverage cart one more time throughout the round.
Nice course
Staff was very friendly, had an issue with tee time scheduled on app but they accommodated us and got us right out. Play slow in beginning but nice group ahead of us let us play through and was excellent after that.
Traditions on a Tuesday afternoon
Excellent. No one was on the course and we could play at our own pace.
Staff very friendly and helpful.
Carts were sanitized and ready to use.
One of my favorites
Fun course challenging, in good shape. Was slowed by some players in front of us but other then that no complaints. Looking forward to returning
