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.

Inexpensive (relative to Palm Springs) but area partly under construction

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 jeopardized and accosted by staff

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.

Slow and crunchy

The Greens were crunchy they were so dry.

The pace was extremely slow with no Marshall on duty.

Getting to hole #10 was quite a challenge in a cart.

No communication from staff at all about the conditions I have just described.

A little disappointing

We played both courses. They were in descent shape. Staff failed to make me feel welcome. Driving range was closed around noon. No water on the course, no beverage cart, and restaurant is closed.

Great course but needs some love

Very nice track but is on a downward maintenance budget, needs bunker work desperately. Many bunkers have areas of ‘no man’s land’ that are not maintained and can have brutal lies with no relief offered. How do you play that?

Signage to get through road construction area is also very poor. We were confused as to where to go and ended up taking the carts down the edge of the public road to get to the back nine. My wife brought it up with staff and got a shoulder shrug.

Worst course I’ve played in the area. Fairways completely bare, virtually no grass. Terrible course design, greens are a joke. Not worth $9, much less $91. Driving range closed at 11:30, just when we arrived. Who closes their driving range at 11:30?

The course has went down badly in the last few years. Haven't payed it in awhile. Fairways are poor, First GPS did not work, need to pay for driving range balls. Due to construction signage very poor. Will not play again unless the course gets better reviews down the road.

Last resort tee time

I reluctantly booked terra lago as a last resort because it was one of a few times I could find last minute. Pace of play was terrible! 5 hour with 4 groups on one par five and no visible ranger! Fairways were spotty, greens inconsistent! I have played this course before and now remember why I haven’t been back!

Fairways are not in good shape

Hard to find grass on the fairway on. some holes. Too bad as we have enjoyed the course in past years but won’t be back this year.
