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.

There are better choices in the Palm Springs Area

Course conditions poor. Needs a lot of TLC. We quit after 14 as we were at 5 hours. No Marshall. No bueno. There are much better choices in the desert, don’t be seduced by the price or the availability.

Unimpressed

The course was in average condition for a desert public course, we weren’t able to use the driving range due confusion on where to get range balls even that they charged $5.00. We didn’t have time to get a refund because their computers weren’t working properly. No beverage cart.

Course in an area that is under construction

Course was a little hard to navigate based on all the construction. Looks like it will be a really nice area when finished. However, it was confusing for a first time golfer there finding the right holes depending on if you’re playing North or South course, especially #10 North. Not good signage.

Championship layout with poor conditions

I'm always willing to give this course a chance, but we had poor reception from the golf shop staff that ignored us for 10 minutes without even acknowledgement that we where there and ready to play. The course is a great layout but even though there is grass in the fairways it is thin to almost rough like conditions. The greens were fast and putted true, but were firm and did not hold many well hit shots. The bunkers lacked sand and any form of maintenance since many were overgrown with grass and weeds. It looks like there are plans for new housing around portions of the course, there is hope that with the new houses there would be better conditions. Other complaints were slow play and the void of any drinking water or cart service. Until there is better conditions and service I will be spending my golf dollars elsewhere.

Disappointed

We played this course last spring '21 and it was in great shape. This spring there's no grass on fairways (cut way too short), bunkers are a disgrace (growing grass and weeds, no sand, hard pan), and greens were horrible (slow and bumpy). The only decent parts of course were tee boxes and intermediate rough which was lush green grass. We noted the construction going on adjacent to course wondering if eventually the course is going to be turned into housing. A true disappointment as we have always enjoyed playing this course every spring.

Last time

This will be last time I will golf there. I have been coming to TL for 10 years and every year it gets worse. Bunkers were total disaster, staff seemed disinterested, construction detours unmarked, Poana everywhere around greens and rock hard non receptive greens.

Enjoyed the round. Course markings are bad and confusing. Could be easily fixed even with construction going on.

Diseased Greens

Putting is difficult on the greens and fringe.

Always one of my favorites to play, but this time it was disappointing.

Terra Lago

My overall experience was good. I had fun. The course could use some work. The fairways were pretty tight and not as good as most courses in the area. The bunkers are not being well maintained and some have weeds/grass growing in them.

Great Course to Play

Played this course while on a trip to the palm desert. It is a bit expensive, but seems most golf courses are.

Course was in great shape and provides beautiful scenery. I truly enjoyed playing this course and would definitely play again when I am back in the Palm Desert.
