About Treetops Resort - Tradition Course

Treetops Resort's Tradition Course is the fourth championship layout at the Treetops complex near Gaylord, designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and offering a classical design approach that contrasts with the modern sensibilities of the resort's Fazio and Rick Smith courses. The Tradition lives up to its name with a more traditional parkland routing through the wooded hillside terrain, featuring Jones' characteristic boldly shaped bunkers, elevated greens with varied contouring, and holes that reward strategic thinking over raw aggression. It provides multi-day guests at Treetops with genuine design diversity — a golden-age-influenced experience set against the same beautiful Otsego County landscape as the resort's other courses.

History

Robert Trent Jones Sr. designed the Tradition Course at Treetops Resort as the classically-styled anchor to the resort's diverse architectural lineup. Jones, the most prolific American course designer of the 20th century, brought his characteristic bunker forms and green contours to the Gaylord property. The Tradition opened as part of Treetops' effort to give golfers a complete architectural history lesson across its four courses, spanning different design eras and philosophies.

Golf architecture enthusiasts who want to experience a Robert Trent Jones Sr. design in the context of Treetops' four-course tour through multiple eras of American course architecture.
