The estate that became Tradition Golf Club was originally homesteaded in 1902 by John Marshall. It was later named La Quinta or "the country house" for the small house Marshall had built on the property. In the years following, Marshall added the main ranch house to the property - a home designed by noted architect Gordon Kaufmann, who went on to design the La Quinta Resort.

The friendly membership, the outstanding golf course, and excellent staff who focus on member service add up to an unparalleled experience.

With the mountains as a stunning backdrop, members enjoy an eminently playable and immaculately maintained 18-hole championship course that features dramatic elevation changes, lightning-fast greens, plenty of Augusta White sand bunkers, and captivating water features.

Members experience the social side of golf through our fun Men’s and Ladies’ Toss-up groups, Spring Twilight Golf, Get Golf Ready programs, Lessons, Clinics, and Demo Days. Our tournaments allow members to enjoy a bit of friendly course competition followed by extraordinary dining experiences. A few of our notable tournaments: Couples’ Wreath of Roses, Losi Cup, Arnold Palmer Pro Am, Kings Crown (Men’s Member/Guest), Talking Rock (Ladies Member/Guest) and many guest days. Our members enjoy creating ‘Traditions Outside of Tradition’, through trips to Ireland and Scotland. These exciting events showcase the warm and friendly culture that makes Tradition Golf Club so special.

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.
