Golf Club At Terra Lago - North Course

Reading some of the reviews we were a bit nervous to play here. It’s one of the most interesting golf courses in the area due to elevation changes and design. The conditions are not as good as most courses in the area but it is still quite playable. Sand traps were dirt and greens were hard which makes it very difficult to get approach shots close as greens are usually elevated with numerous sand traps in play.

Staff were friendly and the overall experience was good despite a few issues. One oddity is the driving range closes at noon - not good when you arrive early for your afternoon tee to warm up. They block off access to the range at that time but the blocked path also leads to the 10th hole. What the bleep! So we had to drive around the stupid blockade. Lots of new housing developments around the course so there is incentive to maintain and improve things.

With the exception of the starter, staff was not very cordial or interested in assisting players. Due to construction you have to meander through the parking lot and rides to get from the 9th to the 10th hole, unfortunately there are no signs directing you.

We had a 1 pm tee time , at 4:45 we had 3 holes to play, when the cart’s GPS instructed us that carts were to be returned by 5PM. Sunset was 5:30, not sure why carts needed to be returned so early?. With no before hand notice that this was a requirement.

The course was in great condition and overall very challenging.

Spectacular! One of the most beautiful courses in the Coachella Valley. Rye grass greens fast and difficult with subtle line changes. Fairways A+ condition; primary rough not overly gnarly. Very enjoyable. Wind teaches lesson.

Djd

Was disappointed in how little grass there was on the fairways, The greens were also pretty bald.

Most frustrating, however, was making the turn at 12:30 and trying to get a sandwich. Was told to come back in one hour!!! At 12:30???? Really???

Won't come back.

We played the north course behind two 5 ball groups.

Although they were fairly talented . I noticed them putting several balls taking way too long on the greens.

I have played for many years and noted deliberate slow play I accepted that . Finally had a chance to jump on the North Course it was empty and after 7 painful holes

enjoyed a relaxing few holes until the cart went dead ,I drove it backwards to limp it to the ninth hole where it completely died . Walked in from there and left my Wife with the Bags on the Roadside. I advised the Pro shop this had been my second time with a dead Cart. waiting to see if the might allow a next play discount we;ll see.

Played very early in the morning. The course has very sparse and inconsistent fairway grass on all holes. Greens are very bumpy and slow.

Played twice over 1 week and one cart got a flat tire, the second one had a GPS that did not work. A disappointing experience overall, with the exception of the starters. They were very friendly and helpful. The place has lots of potential but falls short at this time.

The course seemed under-staffed. No one came to pick up our clubs at the drop-off area, so after a significant wait we carried our clubs some distance down the hill. When we checked in we found out that we would have to have carts returned to the club house by 5:00, so that lost us an hour of golf time therefore we were not close to finishing our game. Our tee time was 2:00 and the pace of play was fairly slow. The fairways were in poor condition. There was grass growing in the sand traps. Not up to par!

Course has been rerouted due to construction. Some Cart paths are unmarked and desert paths. Signage is confusing. Course itself is hard but interesting. Staff is insufficient and thus overworked. They are friendly and try their best, but it’s not smooth

Credit card machine was broken and they recorded my credit card information. Within 2 hours of finishing our game I was informed by my credit card company that the card was jeopardized and an online purchase was attempted at Home Depot.

While leaving the cart at the course, Laurence at the maintenance shop made a rude remark that “only a civilized person would leave the cart there” where all of the other carts were located.

Beautiful course but be wary of the staff. Called to talk to the GM about these and he blew me off.
