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.

Disappointing in all respects

Back in the day this was a beautiful golf course. It is no longer. It's sad to see the course is not under good management. The desk staff seemed bored and just doing their job because they had to. The cart people where totally disorganized and unable to keep up with basics such providing a cart or even acknowledging I was waiting. The carts are dirty and look like they haven't been washed for at least a year. The starter could not keep up and left me standing making me feel invisible. The restaurant that we loved is no longer there. I could go on and on, but I think you get the picture.

Step it up.

The greens had just been re-seeded on the North course and it seemed like they forgot to punch the greens first. There was sand all over the greens, making it impossible to put. Play was super slow and there was no starter or marshal to keep up pace of play.

I ended up sneaking over to the South course, which was in top shape with perfect greens. I really wanted to play the more interesting North course though.

The driving range was also not open for reseeding. Really? Why re-seed a range? At least tell us first that there are limited amenities. I won't play this course again until the off season.

Golf on a budget

Course layout is actually quite good but condition of the tee boxes through to greens is extremely poor. Traps are over-filled, fairways are rough and all areas surrounding the course are either mud, under construction or nasty desert scape. Some greens are good but that’s it.

The whole place screams low budget and all about cost cutting. All kinds of emphasis on the starter yet groups are constantly waiting and no players assistants anywhere. So essentially make sure you give us your money and then you’re on your own after that.

Not bad but could be better

Some bunkers not finished, still need sand and drainage. Course could be manicured a little better. Looks like the course is getting a lot play with many courses closed for re-seeding until November. North course had a good amount of up hill holes. Some holes were very picturesque with mountains, water and formations. Not many flat greens either but course could be forgiving at times with many balls rolling into a center of a fairway or green. Not a bad course for higher handicap and senior golfers like myself.

This course was great for a mid to excellent player playing black or yellow tees. Was able to play my handy cap and birdie a few. Staff was friendly and helpful with carts and clubs. They didn't except cash, so had to use credit card.

The gentleman who took our money when checking in in the pro shop wasn’t too friendly.

Course was in impeccable condition. Need better sign information after playing hole #14 going to hole # 15 due to the construction. We got lost.

Find another course for the cost

Course was in decent shape for October; however, no Marshall to monitor slow play. We played behind a group of 4 (2 of which should not be playing from the tips) as they hit multiple shots on each fairway w/o picking up. Wouldn't let our 2sum play through and no one on course to monitor. No one at all in front of them for 2 or 3 holes. Pro shop staff were somewhat pleasant at best. Felt like it was a cash grab and they wanted us out as soon as possible. Range wasnt open and nothing on web site to indicate that.

Overpaid for this course by approx $25.00 per person. Cart staff were friendly, but that was it.

Won't play here again and would advise to go somewhere else instead!

Great course! Wasn't sure prior to booking because some of the comments and previous rating was good but took a chance and glad that we did. Turns out, the course was in great shape and very enjoyable. Not sure what the low rating was about. Only complaint we have is the pace of play could be a bit faster. Our round was about 5 hours.

The course was good for the money. Why was I not able to get a tee off.com discount? Code would not work?

Lovely course

We played this course for the first time and we booked to play the south course the next day. Both course in excellent condition. Staff very friendly. Fun to have GPS on board. Facilitates things . Carefull all the flags are the same colour for front, mid or back green. Staff told us play the centre of the green. When a green is 30 yards deep a bit annoying
