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.

Glad to be back

Nice layout and a good test of golf. Greens are challenging and treacherous; with many difficult and deep bunkers but a fair and challenging test.

Great desert course

If you like desert courses, you should play the North course. Condition of course was great. Has elevation changes of 50 feet. It even has a par 3 with a green surrounded by water.

Good track but a touch annoying.

Was the day before youth tournament so pace was terrible. Track is fairly nice but hard to say bc it was impossible to get a rhythm. Balls for the range much be purchased in the pro shop before going to range.

Great landscape

North course was in great shape. I’ve heard this place has taken a dive the past couple years. While facility and crew have definitely fallen of from the resort golf it was a couple years ago, there’s no denying the beauty of the North course. It’s in great shape. It’s a good value for the area

Challenging Layout and tons of Fun

Setting up for you second shot is a good idea on this challenging course with generous landings for your tee shots. The real challenge lies in landing the green in regulation. Sand, water and waste area abound as you near the undulating greens. Once on, varying slope and speed of the green can frustrate even the most accomplished golfer. The Fun is in the challenge!

Making par or birdie is cause for celebration on Terra Lago North and I look forward to many more challenges and celebrations there in the future

I loved the course set up! Nothing was out of place. The north course had fantastic views. Greens were a little slow but very true! Will play again!

Course in crappy condition

No grass on fairways and bunkers were terrible. We found out that the course was actually going to be closing the next day for overseeding. We definitely would not have paid close to 100. Each had we known it was in such ghastly condition

Great Pace of Play

My husband and my 2 brother-in-laws and I played on a very busy Saturday. Despite all T times we’re full, the course made sure the pace of play was great.

We did not see cart person at all so we gave a lower rating in this area.

Starter Terry was very helpful.

The green were fast and fairways in good shape.

There is some construction in the back 9 but no big deal.

We stayed afterwards and had drinks on the outside lawn under big umbrellas.

Challenging but great

Great course to challenge your game; very much target golf but no gimmick or unfair holes and many are spectacular. Greens just sanded so only negative.

Terra Lago North Course

The course was in pretty good condition, but I found if youbwind up in a waste bunker, which there are quite a few, the ground is like dried mud and the club just digs out patches of dirt. Fairways were in good shape, bunkers were in good shape, the greens however were absorbed with sand and difficult to putt because it. The ball skidded before rolling and if there were breaks and downhill , it was a lost cause. Not realistic to exoect to make many putts until the green maintenance they performed is completely done. I like the course, very beautiful and challenging, just not worth $90 right now.

Mr John Middaugh

The sanding of the greens made it very difficult for putting! Also, the yardage markers on each hole were not discernible, all the flags were red and no indication of where they were on the greens.

Bring your own water

We paid $90 each which is on the high end for this course. Unlike most Desert courses, bottled water is not furnished - there are a couple of water stations here and there - basically a drinking fountain but no cups. At the turn, tried to buy water in pro shop but found they don't take cash, so had to go back down the stairs to the golf cart to get credit card. Needed credit card because the MEDIUM size bottle of water was $4.95.

We decided to play the North course since it had not been overseeded. However, no one told us the greens would have a HEAVY coat of sand.which made reading putts difficult, plus the greens were not holding AT ALL. We understand this is the time of year when there's a lot of course maintenance going on, but we should have been told about the sand on the greens when we made the tee time.

All in all, it was disappointing. We will not be back.
