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.

No Grass on the Fairways

Have played this course many times but not in the last 2 years, what a change and not for the better. Fairways were bare as they appeared to be not over seeded. Roughs were and we good, Greens were rock hard and did not hold that balls hit to them. Tee boxes were fine. We used to get range balls and now they charge. When we finally found the new route to the driving range they said it was closed till 1:00 as the tractor pulling the ball picker had no cage. My tee time was 1:10. They did refund my $5.00 for range balls. Lots of construction around the course which is a challenge. Hopefully it improves to what it used to be.

Samurai golfer

Can be a challenging course depending on one’s ability. Greens can be particularly challenging with a lot of undulating and variable slopes. Greens protected by bunkers. Some bunkers were not in the best of shape. Slopes have been scalped by water run-off. Fairways are cut very short.. Excellent practice area…

Fun but also tough

Our foursome was two Males and two females. Men played from the white tree and the women from the forward red tees. Everyone agreed that it was a fun and interesting round. They are doing some work and need better signs on cart paths to give directions to holes.

Lots of bunkers, but a lot need more sand.

Terra Lago Notth

Poor signage for course construction.

Pace of play wax brutal at 4:45

Played as twosome at 8am because the other twosome went off early. Sandwiched between multiple foursomes, waited on every shot.

Review

Service was good as was the practice area. Construction made north course more inaccessible and very dusty with wind. Hole locations needed to be better marked. Course conditions were very average. Greens sandy and fairways bare in spots. Tee boxes were great and course layout was challenging but fair. Of course were in better shape it would be better value for price.

Disappointing experience.

Many desert courses let the rough go dormant and over seed the fairways. It appears Terra Lago did just the opposite.

An interesting Experience

Where to start? at the beginning. Arrived for my tee time. Bag drop was closed. Parked and carried my bag to bag drop, only to see a sign apologizing for issues because of lack of staff. These signs were posted all over the clubhouse. Dining area was closed.

Staff all in all, were friendly enough, but always apologizing.

The course has a lot of construction going on throughout the course. As you drive through the parking lot, following the signs to the practice area, your cart is constantly beeping at you to alert you of an unauthorized area.

Leaving the practice area, you see a sign pointed to North one tee. You drive down that path and dead end in a construction zone.

Back to the Golf Shop to find the One North Tee is across another road, in a completely different direction.

after playing 9 it's back through the parking lot to the road that said was to one, bit actually goes to 10.

After 11 you go alongside a construction area.

You reach two holes off to your left. Again, no marking that one is 12, and the other 18.

Fairways were in OK shape at best.

The main grass was scalped to very thin grass. But, tufts of a different grass would grow to almost rough height throughout the course.

Played with a very nice couple, and pace was just over 4 hours, even though they indicated the course was full.

After the round, went to the golf shop, only to see a sign indicating they closed at 2:30

Not really what I expected for the price.

Where is the grass?

Starter was chippy, fairways were barren, they need to work on growing grass.

Tough

A well protected greens design make this a challenging course. Will play it again.

The signs for rerouteing to hole number 10 were terrible. 2 of us got lost and had to be lead by a member to the tee box. It is not that hard to make an effort to get a clear view of where a new golfer is going.
