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.

Course conditions

The greens have definitely deteriorated over the last couple years. They are a lot slower than the previous couple years and some bad grass coming up on them. When I arrived I put bag at the drop, I went and checked in and used the restroom and came out but my bag was still sitting at the bag drop, so I went and got it myself and put on a cart, no tip for them. I do like the course but it is getting to the point where it needs some attention. Oh yes all the red flags too?

Good challenging golf

I have not played this course in a while. I think it is in better shape than the last time I played. The greens are a little rough, but it is a public course, and you get players with no respect for the course.

Good track

Starter and cart barn help were great, pro shop personnel need soft skill training, arrogant and not very friendly( guy with an eye issue) very curt. , it’s such a shame for all the others there who were helpful.

Good time at North course

Golf course was in pretty good shape overall, would like the greens a little faster though. I see there are owners and that’s great. As long as they are in it for the long haul and willing to spend the money I see great things for these courses in the future. I would also like to see the restaurant and bar open again it possible,

Only okay

The golf carts shut off many times during the round making life difficult. The greens were slow and not at all lush.

I’m not a big fan, the course needs some help.

Overall good experience, course conditions and layout good, pace of play good. Another second tier but decent course in the grossly overpriced desert during March prime time (2X from 2-3 years ago across the board).

A few nagging issues:

Bag drop had only one attendant during afternoon rush causing back up in getting clubs to carts

Starter and pro shop were very friendly though.

Main thing was electric cart died on 16 and we had to walk/carry in. Tried calling pro shop to replace but got put on endless hold with reservations line and could not contact pro shop directly, maybe too late in the day.. Notified bag attendants of cart stuck on course when we came in. They seemed annoyed as were we.

The course is in good shape and is a pleasure to play.

The pro shop staff on the other hand could use as attitude adjustment.

A challenging course

The course has some very interesting holes. One reality is that the wind can blow very hard which increases course difficulty substantially.

Difficult front 9 on the North course with interesting holes. Greens were slow and hard to read. Not recommended for high handicapers.
