Once you belong to Tradition, you truly belong. This is the place where everyone feels instantly welcomed and at home. We enjoy an inviting intimacy here — a place where people wave as they pass by, take time to say hi, and are genuinely glad to be here, united in camaraderie.
Arnold Palmer's Vision
Only one place was the legendary Arnold Palmer’s iconic desert home…Tradition Golf Club. This is where The King created his singular vision of what a golf course can be, and what an ideal way of living should be — reflecting the inherent charm, easygoing elegance, and exceptional standards of its visionary creator.

The full story of Tradition is a commemoration of events that have taken place over decades, the people who have shaped those events — and a celebration of this land, the breathtaking beauty of our natural environment that plays host to a community of family, friends, and neighbors who make Tradition unique, compelling…and iconic.
