About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 7060 yards
Slope 137
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.

Deserves a higher rating, but ...

I would give this course a much higher rating but the pace of play on this day was awful. 5.5 hours to play! A tournament was booked before us and very little was done by the course marshals to speed them up. Constant waiting at every tee box, multiple groups (up to 4) on each hole.

Over 6 hour round

Golf course was nice enough however pace of play was 6 hours 15 minutes. Completely unacceptable. Marshals did nothing and told us there was nothing they could do. Groups in front drunk, loud and out of control. Teed off at 10:30 and couldn’t get in before dark. Extremely disappointed

Still growing in from overseeding

Layout is a fun golf course. The conditions were not that good. Still I’m trying to grow in the new grass. Cart path only. The golf course was extremely wet.

I would wait a month to play. Not worth the price with the grown in. Too wet. Greens very slow and bumpy.

Booked the north course, checked in, loaded clubs and drove to starter, he told us north course cart path only, first mention of that.Gave us the option of south course which allowed carts on fairway. GolfNow should let us know if course is cart path only, paid higher price for the north course but chose south course instead because it allowed carts.

Paying for the course, not the staff

Course is fun, greens could use some work. Bunkers were gross. Staff was worse. Guy checking me in refused to make eye contact for 30+ seconds and just mumbled curse words under his breath. Cart guys were completely disorganized and confused on rental clubs. Drink cart was seen in the distance but never came to us.

Once again, go for the course. Pretty enough

Bad experience

The pace of play was very slow we did a six hour round. No Marshall or beverage cart. Very disappointing and no staff available to help on the day of … was told to phone pro in 3 days and by then we’re gone form the area. Will not be recommending this golf course and have subsequently cancelled playing the following day due to this poor experience

Upgrade over the South course, nice layout.

Greens are slower and bumpy but will hold approach shots. Greens well protected.

Beautiful course!

This was our second time playing at Terra Lago. It was a wonderful day. Lots of water available and since it was 95* we appreciated that. No beverage cart was my only complaint. We will be back on our next visit to Palm Springs!

Terra Lago north

Fairways were in good shape and so were the greens. The course was in good condition for this time of year. I would have liked a beverage cart on the course.

Not the course it used to be

This used to be one of my favourites and I’m sorry to say I probably will never come back. The pin placements were probably 3 to 6 days old, flags barely stayed in the holes as the holes were all tilted from being in the same place to long. You have to pay for range balls, which is unheard of in the valley. Pace of play was 5 hrs and 15 mins, not a marshal in site all day. The course has severely gone down hill, don’t waste your money here. The only reason my round was so cheap was because I used Tee Off to book
