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.

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.

Terra Lago is a good challnege

I've played Terra Lago many times over the years - I'm out here in the desert several times between April and October.

When the prices go down, this course is a great value. It's not ALWAYS in the best condiiton, it can seem a little dry even in April...but it is ALREADY very hot...

The construction makes driving around a little difficult...I can't imagine how frustrating it would be if you were walking...

One small quibble - ALL the flags yesterday were RED. I know the GPS gives you distances to/on the green...but this made it difficult to determine pin placement.

Overall, a good value if you like the price.

Signage was lacking between holes.

Individual who took our bags down to the cart was most friendly but at the cart return the “boys” were totally indifferent

Terra Lago North

The course was in poor condition. They are doing construction near the course, so there was considerable dust on several holes. There are long drives between some holes, and some were on dusty gravel and/or dirt. The price was very good, but it is not a bargain at this time.

Not being taken care of

They have put the money into the development of new homes and have let the condition of the course run down.

Boys trip

It was windy to start but calmed down as the round went on. Only knock was lack of signage on a few holes due to construction. The bunkers are packed down and need some new sand.

Natural golf course

Really liked the course, different from courses with perfect fluffy sand.. For those of you golfer who can only handle soft sand, probably not for you. But No houses and natural desert golf was fun. A

Needs some upkeep

Course was pretty good shape, the bunkers where terrible, especially if you went in them not raked ,in quit awhile, washed out from irrigation all over the place.

4.5 hour round teeing off at 9 am, group behind hit in to us 2 times even though they could see we had no place to go.

The Pro shop guy was irritated we showed up.
