Members only - 18 hole

Tel: (760) 564-1067

 

Designed by Arnold Palmer, Ed Seay. Not only is it scenically set against the mountains, but the conditioning is immaculate, and the course is playable and challenging. From downtown Los Angeles (about 130 miles east to the course): Take I-10 east, exit Washington, and turn right. The club is at the end of Washington. Count the Tradition Golf Club as both one of the Palmer organization's best designs as well as one of the very best courses in the greater Palm Springs area.
