Tradition Golf Club - La Quinta, California

Among private golf clubs, Tradition is singular. Once a desert getaway for Hollywood celebrities and heads of state, this former ranch's origins are rich in history. Arnold Palmer's extraordinary vision--incorporating the elevation changes as well as the breathtaking natural terrain and mountain views--created one of the finest courses in the world. There is something special at Tradition Golf Club; You experience it at every turn. As you enter the gate, Tradition Trail is lined with towering mature palms; you're taken by that indefinable sense of place. You'll find that same feeling in the curve of a proudly manicured green, in the warmth of a gracious welcome, in the sense of all that endures. Perhaps as no other private community in the desert, Tradition Golf Club remains true to the ideals of ultra-exclusivity and understated elegance. The blend of Spanish Revival, Early California and Mediterranean architecture, combined with the experience of pure golf in a historic venue, makes the Club a community unto itself. You'll find an 18 hole championship course and a nine hole par 3 course. And with a limited roster of 250 members, each individual is a highly valued member.
