Tradition Golf Club

Tradition Golf Club in La Quinta, California, is a desert paradise for golfers. The site of Tradition Golf Club is a historic one. The club sits on a piece of land that was once the Hacienda del Gato, a ranch used as a luxury getaway for Hollywood's greatest stars, including Katherine Hepburn and Clark Gable. Two presidents, Eisenhower and JFK, came to the ranch for extended visits. The former Hacienda del Gato was transformed into a luxury golf community in the 1990s. Opening in 1997, Arnold Palmer built the 18-hole, par-72 championship Tradition course at Tradition Golf Club. There is also a 9-hole, par-3 course on the site of Tradition Golf Club if you've only got time for a practice round.

The courses at Tradition Golf Club are dotted with bunkers filled with glistening white crushed marble. Lush green landscaping disrupts the desert dryness for a built-in oasis, featuring bright hues and plenty of water features. The greens are populated with bent grass. There are immaculate views of the Santa Rosa mountains and the valleys in between. Best of all, there are no tee times or schedule policy, so you'll be able to enjoy the well-tended course any time!

After you finish your round, you can head over to the clubhouse, a beautiful colonial building surrounded by mature palms and trees. A large fitness center accommodates all your workout needs, and you'll even have access to services from fitness professionals to help you achieve your optimal level of fitness. You can up your golf game in a more focused manner with Tradition's onsite PGA golf instructor and practice facilities, including a driving range, chipping area, and putting green.

The private golf club at Tradition is open to members and their guests only. Membership is limited to 250, which ensures that the golf community is well cared for and tight-knit. There are a number of programs designed to fulfill the needs of members of Tradition Golf Club's private golf community. Groups with similar interests meet regularly to engage in favorite activities, such as painting, hiking, biking, playing Canasta, discussing books, knitting, cooking (classes are taught by Tradition's resident chef), and more. "Yappy Hour" is a time when members get together to socialize and drink cocktails, while their pets accompany them for a play date of their own. Charitable activities are organized to benefit those in need, and once a season, troops wounded in action are invited to golf with Tradition members.
