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.

Love the layout

I always play this course when I'm here. Definitely a locals course. Unfortunately, they don't keep it up to resort standards, but the layout is great. The sand hadn't been worked in a while, but there was sand in the bunkers and the ones I played out of were fine. Greens were fast (for the area) and true. Excellent budget course if you want a top caliber layout but can overlook some of the warts.

this will be spectacular soon

south course closed and the brief glimpses of it I saw made it clear why. north course, they are doing a lot of upgrades so construction led to some weird routing.

with that said, this course was very fun. elevation changes, sometimes expansive fairways, other times you needed to have some accuracy. holes 15 and 16 are fantastic risk/reward holes with a gorgeous lake, 17 takes you away, then 18 is a fantastic finishing hole with a risk reward approach over the water.

when they get the sand replaced and a couple minor issues...this course will be super cool. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

A good outing!

I played with two friends who also are familiar with the course. We had scheduled. Via Golf Now and changed the day because of the wind on Monday. I had to change the time to accommodate a dental appointment. The staff were very accommodating and got us a good time later in the AM. It all worked out well and the temperatures were comfortable, partially due to the light winds. It was a good outing, perhaps our last until next fall when we return.from our summer RV travels.

Straw Greens

Overall I like the course but when walking on the greens it felt like we walking on straw. The player I joined up with felt the same.

Pro greens?

I do love this course. But the greens were rock hard and super fast. Didn’t have to fix one ball mark all day. Bounced like concrete.

And the high winds next to 12, did cause a little visibility issues.

Photos are within a minute of each other.

First Time, Great Time

First time at Terra Lago, played the North course. Heard great things before playing and everything was great. Pace of play was a little slow (no marshal on the course or starter), but during April is probably not common to have those.

Will definitely play again. Be sure to be on the correct side of the pin, greenside. Great layout of the course.

Terra Lago

I played North Course yellow tees. There is one tee back and several forward for all handicaps.

Good variety of holes and green complexes are challenging. Fairways we’re fantastic; greens were a bit slow and bumpy.

Overall value was excellent and course was fun to play.

Tough test for all parts of your game

Under rated course with well placed fairway bunkers, deep green side bunkers, some water, elevation change, and natural desert on many holes. Overall conditions were good. Bunkers are a mess. I recommend this course.

Arrived early and pro shop told me the course was wide open. I proceeded to the first tee and like the pro shop said it was wide open. Got through the front nine really fast because there was no one on the course. Caught up with a twosome who has apparently been stuck behind a couple of slow groups, joined up with them on the 12th hole. The course was in fairly good shape. I think the north course layout is a lot better than the south. I rank this course as one of the better courses to play in the valley.

Short course, but greens are a killer!

This is the second time I have played the North course. The first time is a killer because the greens are undulating and you don't know what's behind the pin, so after having been burned for a few holes, you start to play short so that you can see where your ball lands up. Chipping around the green is hard unless you are a very good chipper - errant chips will roll off the green because of the slopes in every direction. I often landed up putting instead of chipping. The holes aren't long and are usually reachable in regulation, but the slope rating of 124 comes from the difficult greens.

Some scenic vistas of the area. The short par 3 on #15 coming home to the clubhouse is magnificent - only 112 yards (whites) but is an island green and the scenery is just perfect.
