Length 7060 yards

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.

If you have time to spare

Our first impression was Randall in the pro shop who I’m not sure how he could of cared less. There was a 2nd guy there who never got up, tried to hide behind the desk. 2 1/2 hrs for the front nine, tried to get a drink at turn. Bar sent us to desk to pay, guy there said to go back. Left the drink and went to #10. Back nine 3 hrs, teed off at 11:30 and got in just before dark. Service is terrible, course is average, greens are in good shape. If you have time to spare and don’t mind a long round it’s just ok..

Fun but challenging

I love Terra Lago. Both courses are challenging, I enjoy that every hole is very different. You have to think your way around the course a bit. The greens are very tough, large, tiered, sloping. They are tough to read, unless taking your time and looking from multiple angles. It is not a course to gain putting confidence. Putts roll true. It's in great shape aside from some of the work areas, but it's not loud or a real eye sore while playing. I will keep coming back.

Course was in pretty good shape. Greens were tricky. Loved the layout, good test. Definitely need to play a couple times for better course management. I’ll play again for sure!

Enjoyed the course. We were surprised that we got bypassed by the drink cart and finally were able to get one drink when we passed the clubhouse and saw here taking a break on our way to the 16th hole.

Great course for the $$

First time I played - pleasantly surprised.

Need to get the dining room open as meal options very limited. Better rates if you book direct with course!

North course

Fairways have not grown back in enough yet since they only reseeded a month ago. Greens are tough but speed was good not to fast with no flat greens.

Course for Good Golfers

The course is for good golfers. It is hilly and plays long. The greens are elevated and if you miss severe slopes and bunkers. The layout allows you to see the holes ahead of you pretty well. The greens are difficult to read and to make putts. The carts do not have GPS and yardage was hard to get quickly, there were some sprinkler head yardage. The snack bar/food between nines took a while and another group went through. Overall a tough interesting course but I would say for good golfers really.

Great track, slow play

Course in great shape. Need a Marshall to push slow groups. Driving range closed during prime season made no sense.

Test of skill & accuracy

The course was in great shape. The bunkers were well maintained but very difficult to avoid. Some of which were incredibly hard to hit out of. The constant wind was great on half the course and a pure yardage killer on the other half.

Staff: Waited 10 mins for a cart, which made us late to our tee time. We were told the coolers were supposed to have water bottles after we finished. They did not. Cart guy pulled up our cart, got out and walked away. There was no marshal at the first hole to manage the tee times or provide insight, pin placement, or tips. No beverage service. No food aside from chips available at the turn. Marshal showed up on the 17th hole after we tee'd off and told us to pick up our balls and head to club house. No one there to help with bags. We were told to walk around the clubhouse from down below to our cars as we couldnt drive the carts to unload.

They need customer service help and maybe a few employees. Course was a lot of fun to play and very challenging.

Ridiculously Disappointed

I purposely booked the North course. Anticipating viewing and being challenged by a course that had been recommended.

Upon checking in. I was only advised that I would be playing the south course. ONLY after noticing on my receipt a payment for the South course.

I immediately asked the proshop individual who advised a tournament was booked for the North course on this day and I would not be playing the course. No other option existed.

I would never have booked the south course. No refund was allowed.

I'm not happy with the course or with Golfnow allowing me to book a course that was NEVER available.

Will NEVER be back here.

I spent a generous amount on good golf courses in the Coachella Valley in the last two weeks.

This will be a course I will advise everyone I know to never play

Love the North course

This has always been one of my favorite courses but it is getting pricy. I also found the pro shop check in person very unfriendly. Not sure I will play it again because of his attitude
