Tradition Golf Club is a private, member-owned equity club in La Quinta Cove. The property's ranch history reaches back to a 1902 homestead, and the golf club opened in the late 1990s after Sienna Corporation partnered with Arnold Palmer's design company. In 2008 the club transitioned from developer-owned to member-owned equity. In 2017 it was recognized as a Platinum Club of America.
Palmer's 18-hole course is the centerpiece, with the club also listing a 9-hole course and practice facilities in its membership materials. Palmer's own published comment on the land speaks to bending fairways set against the mountains. Real estate ownership is offered separately and is not required for membership. Membership is by invitation and Board approval.
Residential product at Tradition is typically discussed in categories such as bungalows, village homes, and custom estates rather than a single public PDF plan library. The club does not publish a fixed home count on its primary public pages. Buyers should pull current HOA documents and architectural guidelines for any specific address, and should not assume club membership transfers with title.
Published amenities include the Clubhouse, Fitness Center and Spa, dining venues including the Tavern at Tradition, and social and recreational programming. Golf membership materials describe access to the courses, practice facilities, clubhouse, fitness and spa, and dining for members whether or not they own property. Initiation and dues are not listed on the open marketing pages; request current schedules from Membership.
Tradition publishes 78505 Avenue 52, La Quinta, CA 92253, with membership contact at 760.564.8723. The club sits minutes from Thermal Airport and about a half hour from Palm Springs International Airport. When comparing Tradition to Hideaway or Andalusia, separate the golf membership decision from the real estate decision early in the process.
