Golf Club At Terra Lago - North Course

For ease of air travel, we carry 2 sets of golf clubs in a single golf bag, and then at the golf course, typically utilize a spare golf bag that the golf course provides. This has never been an issue for the last 5 years and over 50 rounds of golf.

However, at Terra Lago, the Pro Shop staff told us that they did not have any golf bags. When we pointed to the rental clubs and bags behind the counter (about 20 sets), we were told “management” would not allow them to provide us with a golf bag. When we suggested they could take the rental clubs out of a bag and we would rent the bag for our round, we were once again told that was not possible. We asked if we could speak to “management”, but were told they were not there. We were told that if we wanted a golf bag, we would have to buy one. When we pointed out that if we were not able to get another golf bag, we would not golf and they would lose 2 green fees. They did not care.

As we returned to our car, one of the young bag drop staff members told us that since the new management took over about a year ago, the course has become a terrible place to work, and maintenance of the course has dropped off.

Bottom line, we will not try to play Terra Lago again, and would not recommend it to anyone else to play there.

We were only allowed to play 15 holes and the gate was locked at 4:40. We were disappointed that we were not allowed to finish even though there was daylight. Also, when we arrived to check in we were told the driving range was closed but talked to people who teed off close to our tee time that were on the driving range. The front desk was not very welcoming (he could have been joking). The cart people were very good and he starter was welcoming and fun.

Cancelled the round as the wind alert was in effect. The gusts were up to 26 m.p.h. and on the desert you are eating a lot of sand and debris.

Course used to be much better shape , bunkers not cleaned out. Course looked to be under construction just not up to the price charged

When we checked in at the Pro Shop, we were told that the carts must be returned by 5:00 pm. This should be noted at the time you book your tee times. At 4:45 pm a marshal came driving up to our tee box and informed us we were done. There was at least 45 more minutes of daylight that we could have played, allowing us to finish our round. In addition to stopping play at 4:45, the course was so stacked that we literally waited on every hole. At times there were two foursomes waiting on the tee box and not just on the Par 3’s.

Had a good time on the North course. Golf score was not great but the challenge, where every stroke counts, I really enjoyed.

Course is in great shape!! Greens are fast and bunkers are decent. Got my moneys worth. Will be going back!!

Needs some work but not much.. bunkers need more sand.. layout is super cool through the badlands some lies are squirrely but it’s desert golf.

I really liked the layout

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.
