Rating 73.7

The Golf Club at Terra Lago boasts two 18-hole courses, the North and the South, that provide some of the most stunning and unique views of the Coachella Valley. Formerly known as Landmark Golf Club, it was home to the PGA Tour Skins Game from 1999 to 2002, which meant it has hosted a slew of big-name players including Greg Norman, Tiger Woods, and Phil Mickelson. Terra Lago's North Course is the longer of the two at 7,060 yards, which is partly a reflection of the dramatic elevation changes that the golf course tumbles across. From the seventh tee box's lofty perch, you'll get a panoramic view from one end of the valley to the other, making it the golf course's most scenic hole. But it's most challenging is a daunting par 3 with an island green that was the featured hole during the Skins Games.

Understated course - North

I don't usually rate a course excellent unless it's a special resort course, but the conditions of this course were superior. The challenges were mostly the elevations as several tee boxes were many meters above the fairway or greens. Otherwise, most of the fairways were wide and favorable. The grass was full and smooth. The greens were fast and even. Overall, the course conditions were as good as I've seen for private resort courses, but they did not have amenities such as GPS carts, bottled water or even tees or towels. That did not diminish the experience as the course was pristine and enjoyable to play. The day was warm and a little windy, but it did not affect the game much. A few holes border water, and a couple require shooting over water to reach the green, which made them challenging, but not impossible to reach. Despite the lack of superior amenities, it was an excellent course.

Beautiful Canyon-Style Layout and Perfect Greens

Played the North Course at The Golf Club at Terra Lago on a Monday afternoon (2:50 PM matinee rate) with my son, who plays through Youth on Course — incredible value at $5.

This course absolutely delivers on scenery and layout. The fairways wind through desert terrain with great elevation changes, and at times it honestly feels like you’re driving through canyons. The contrast between desert landscape and lush green fairways makes it one of the more visually memorable courses in the Coachella Valley.

The greens were excellent — not too fast, not too slow, just very true and fair. Made putting enjoyable and consistent throughout the round.

Pace of play was ideal for a late tee time. No one pushing from behind, and even though we caught a slower group ahead, it never felt rushed. Perfect setting for a relaxed round, especially playing with family.

Nice added touches like the bag drop service and having clubs ready on the cart made the experience smooth from start to finish. After the round, a staff member even offered to clean my clubs and gave me a ride toward my resort — really appreciated that.

⭐ Overall:

Beautiful, scenic course with great greens and a relaxed pace of play. A really enjoyable round and definitely one I’d recommend — especially for an afternoon tee time.

This course has an excellent layout and is well maintained except for the sand traps, which are horrible. No sand in the desert: strange!

Great Course, People and Beer.

Golfed this course for the first time yesterday. Gotta last minute hot deal. I'm visiting Palm Springs with Family so it was nice to get out and get a round of golf in. I joined an awesome group of folks from Seattle very friendly and patient with my level of golf. I've been on 4 year hiatus of golf and decided the North course would be a great option to get back into it.

Conditions were excellent, greens rolled well, cart girl was around every 3 holes. Lots of picturesque views.

I would definitely return and recommend. Guy in the proshop wasn't friendly but also wasn't not nice, hard to explian just a typical "marshal" type. Which was fine didn't ruin my day. Oh yeah love the name of all the holes. Haha Got Balls? Was the best name for the hole I lost a ball on... so much fun! See pic of Hole "got balls"

Had to go back and carry my clubs down and put them in a cart. Had to wait for a cart key. Have played ther many times and the service is getting worst. When I went to pay that same guy was there and he is so unwelcoming. Love the course but service is going down hill.

Terra Lago North

Our foursome had an early afternoon reservation on the North course. I haven't played the North course in about 3 years and it was exciting to be playing it again. The course is pretty challenging, but fair. From tee box to greens the course was in great shape. There were some bunkers that could have been better attended, but did not take away from a great afternoon of golf. Both courses also have some beautiful vistas! . I highly recommend either course, but I do favor the North over the South.

We had a good round. They should have markers to show when you are too close to the green with your cart.
