The Tradition Golf Club At Wallingford
About
The Tradition Golf Club at Wallingford is one of the most affordable rounds in the area and it has received praise as one of the best golf courses in Connecticut. The par-70 layout is player friendly enough for beginners but low handicappers will also find it to be a fun round. The holes are fairly straightforward though there are some fairways that have very narrow landing areas that will test the accuracy of even the best golfers. Numerous bunkers are strategically placed along the undulating greens and water also comes into play on the occasional hole. The golf course starts out gently but becomes progressively more challenging on the back nine. The most memorable hole on the golf course, the par-3 12th, is a water hole that features an intimidating island green.

Island par 3 Photo submitted by Tim6164739 on 09/24/2013
Despite ALL the rain the course was in great condition. The fairways and greens were dry (relatively) and the greens especially were fast.
The starter could have let us off earlier than our tee time..tee box was empty for awhile……we were waiting until the exact time..
First tome
People were friendly. Course was in great shape. Totally satisfied, even with the temperature close to 100 degrees. Plan on playing again before we return to Michigan.
Wallingford Trad Wednesday am
Great mid week hot deal. Nice cool morning and no traffic. Quick round
Hot June day
Hot hot day and starter let us out a bit early
Course always in great condition
We were one of the first groups out and finished in 3 1/2 hours
Great day , great course
Overall a great course . Layout has a few wide open fairways , A few tricky dog legs , and on the back 9 an island green ( awesome ) and a few holes that make u lay up . Unless you have the guts to go for it .
