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.

Not long, but testing

As a senior golfer, the course offers everything I want. Holes are not excessively long (like many Cal courses), but you must place your way around this beautifully laid out course. Good drives lead to challenging 2nd shots to the trickiest greens I've ever seen. (Even tougher than Torrey Pines). (Whoever laid out these greens is a masochist!) Overall, our family Scramble had a really enjoyable round! The group ahead moved out, so no waiting. The Pro shop guy was pleasant and obliging, and starter Aussie was his usual bright self! We do miss the restaurant, however. We'll be back!

The course was fun and every hole is different. I recommend playing the yellow boxes, otherwise it's pretty short. I would definitely play the course again.

Not as good as past years!!!

Disappointed with the greens.

I booked here because of previous excellent experiences and the course conditions were no where near the standard of 3 years ago.

Not to be totally negative…The round was lots of fun, who can’t have fun when you have left snowy Calgary behind.

Wouldn't play here again

I may be a bit spoiled playing pretty good courses but this was in my opinion the worst course I have played this season (I am a golf member at a local club and play in the area for 6 months a year).

The bunkers are in terrible shape, the fairways and greens are either very bare or poorly watered and sandy. Tee boxes are OK.

They have construction going on in the area and most direction signs are poorly placed around the clubhouse.

Pristine Conditions and Value

First to tee off and done in 2 hours. The course pays attention to detail and all conditions are great. Even though it’s executive, great track to dial irons in.

6 hour round

Slow play was painful. 4 groups on each hole. Don't recommend and I will never waste my time to play there again.

A Nice Course in Reasonable But Not Excellent Condition

We liked the layout and the greens at Tarra Lago. However, the fairways were somewhat sparse and hard but they were playable. Value for dollar was fair.

We do want to complement and give a tip of the hat to one of the staff in the golf shop. “Randall” was a great ambassador. He was friendly, courteous and went out of his way to welcome and assist us. Thank you Randall.

Madman Pin Placements

The course needs some TLC. Very sparse on the fairways and greens are poor. Some madman selected pin placements. On a downslope. You can't hold a put or an approach. Not recommended unless you have a high tolerance for pain.

Challenging under rated course in Palm

Terra Lago North is a challenging course that is in fair condition. Most of the greens are raised which makes it difficult if you miss the greens. When we played it had been plus 30 for 3 or 4 days. The hot weather made the greens hard and difficult to hold. I would definitely go back. It would be a great course with some more maintenance and greens keeping.

Grass. What grass.

I was told was a great deal I was getting at $91. I laugh. I don’t care if I play this again. No grass on the fairways. Held up on back 9 par 3 for 30 minutes. Great golf course is in two seasons crap. No thanks. Have a nice Korean day

Tricky course

We had a good time, but pace of play very slow on the back 9. The course is tricky, with lots of undulating elevated greens, which make it hard to keep your ball from rolling off. Water on back is challenging. Not sure I would play it again but it was fun giving it a try because it was so different.
