About Tradition Golf Club

Tradition Golf Club is a private club set in the desert landscape of La Quinta, California, surrounded by the natural scenery of the Coachella Valley.

The club is closely tied to Arnold Palmer, who made it his desert home and shaped the course according to his own ideas of how a golf course and a golf community should be. Its history has been formed over decades by the people connected to it, and the club describes itself as a close-knit, residential community where members and neighbors know one another.
