Traditions Golf Club
2035 Williams Road
Hebron, KY 41048
859-586-6691

Traditions is located in the rolling hills of Northern Kentucky. Rich in natural abundance, wildflowers and beautifully architected golf, the club is a great retreat. The bent on bent is very well maintained and the course's rolling terrain can make for some challenging golf. Large undulating greens and tight heavy rough mandates that the golfer keeps focused (74.4 rating). The course plays tough but is fair and good approach shots respond well into these ideal greens. Well spread out, rarely are other holes even seen and the mature surrounding forest reflects a feeling of isolation. The Traditions is a well-rounded club with a strong balance of championship golf and amenities which include: clubhouse, 15 acre practice facility, restaurant, banquet area and a bar.

#12

HC - 10		   Pampas grass blocking right side of the fairway is at 230yd CG (310yd from Blue tees) - meaning that it creates no threat from tees and center or right half of fairway is safe and avoid the left bunker.

Par 4
HC - 16 		  Inclining fairway slants right and favoring the left 1/2 pays off. Fairway dips off just shy of the green and a big bank protects entrance. 28yd deep green. mound at midline in the front 40% releases gently right and long or moderately left and long. Right 1/3 slopes gently right.
