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.

Shocking decline in course condition

At the peak of the winter golf season in the Coachella Valley most all the 15 or so courses I've played are in excellent condition. Not so at Terra Lago!

Greens were patched in many places and inconsistent in speed. Many had burned out areas where water laid.

Bunkers were AWFUL with many having weeds and grass others looked like a lake and we've had no rain for 3 months. Still others had little or no sand.

Teeing ground on a few holes was chewed up and thus they were using areas which were not level.

This course has markedly gone DOWNHILL in the last year or so! I won't play it again until conditions improve significantly.

Wonderful track, will be back!

Fantastic condition, played in 3.5 hrs. Construction in the area not an issue with fantastic directions around the detours from hole to hole. Wind makes it play tough but course layout is a fantastic challenge.

Course ok

If it’s windy this course is very hard because if elevated greens an very hard course layout is ok for lower hdcp player but 15+ this course won’t be a lot of fun plenty of room

Great Day

It was nice to get out with a buddy from work a get a round in, but the course had a few issues.

1) They we’re doing work on the surrounding area (lots of detours that weren’t marked well)

2) Bar/food area was closed

3) Drink cart was nowhere to be found… not cool in the desert.

4) Bunkers looked like they hadn’t been weeded since the start of the Pandemic

5) Local golfer (and I can tell who they are by attitude) kept trying to jump us and play through

Besides that… if you want a course that can really push you and make you feel mortal you should play here. Wavy greens, bunkers in all the places you want to hit and beautiful surroundings. Would definitely come back and play when they get things buttoned up. (And for a random $61 rate in the middle of the day… you can’t beat that in the Palm Springs area.)

Should have just walked the course … the blockades before the greens are too aggressive and make it annoying…plus the Railroad ties seemed overkill. More, at least some, instructions by the starter on hole position’s would be helpful and overall signage for next tee box would be helpful.

Hot weather
Used cart

Not worth the $$$

Left Bag at bag drop with a 24 hr surveillance sign. No one approached me etc. Left bag, went and parked, went to clubhouse, paid and told they see my bag on camera and they come and get it. Walk down to cart area, guy said bag will be coming down. Came later and said guy was in a meeting, gave me a cart key and told to get my own bag. Course in terrible condition, greens ok and slippery. Lot of around course and clubhouse construction going on. NOT WORTH THE $100

4th Time ever playing Golf

This was such a great experience. Paired with a local who lives on the grounds. He coached me patiently and even encouraged me each hole and I got better each hole. I Played horrible but who cares. I had so much fun, played a beautiful course one a windy day in the desert. Amazing. That 15th hole. I made land (didn’t land in the drink) and almost parred the hole and I was looking forward to playing this course just because of the 15th.

Thanks Terra Lago.
