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.

Could be great if they put a little more effort in.

We played this course in October and were intrigued enough to go back. Great course but we gave the staff a pass on the mediocrity of service because of the end of season. Went back Jan 6th thinking it would be great. The course was again really fun, except the sand traps had no sand in them. Rest of the course was in good shape. There was a cart serving on the course so that was nice but still felt low level public. Golf shop is nice but there really is no draw to going inside for a fun drink and snacks afterward. The golf cart guys are aweful same as in Oct. Yes -they give you a ride from the parking lot but helpful-NO. The guy watched as my husband unloaded our clubs and we were the only people on the cart! No class, no help in finding the driving range, 1st tee box, bathroom. It really could be a great, such a nice course but feels like nobody really cares about the details.

Worth the $

This course is a ton of fun, challenging and holes all play different. For what you pay, the course is kept in good condition and most staff are friendly. It’s true what everyone says about the grumpy staff at check in, but we were aware of this before we played and just had a giggle about it. Felt kinda like the “Soup N&zi in Seinfeld. Shuffle two steps to the left “golf please sir” and then give them your card. We laughed about the weird situation for the rest of the day. Get past the “Golf N$zi” and you’ll be just fine playing here.

Terra Lago North is a good value and is in excellent condition

Terra Lago North is an underrated golf course and the course conditions are the best in last few years. Fairways are lush albeit not much rollout and greens are very good but a bit on slow side. For the high season, this can be a better value than other courses in area. The North is a desert course with several nice views from elevated tees and water comes into play mostly on the back nine. Course is moderately tough; rewards most good shots but just enough trouble to penalize you on your bad shots.

Big Fan!

The only reason i think it doesn't get the love it deserves is because its hard. For the desert its narrow, Elevated, challenging greens and can get windy. I love it! Give me a big long demanding course with some forced carry's and water. It was in the best condition I have ever seen it. Fantastic!!!

Fair price

Fair/good price for this course. Numerous patches on the greens, made for difficult putting conditions; staff in club house had an indifferent bordering on rude attitude.

Terrible golf shop staff!

The course is ok, but the experience is ruined by the rude guy (Randall) behind the counter. I resent paying money to be treated like I'm an inconvenience to his valuable time. He really shouldn't be dealing with the public in any capacity.

Poor Desk Attendant

This person who I did not get a name, was grumpy grandpa behind the desk. He needs to retire!

We came in off the back 9 and went into the pro shop and notice they did not have Gatorade or something similar, my father was paying with cash and the gentleman behind the desk said "we don't take cash" really on the golf course, then says "it is Trumps fault" now politics are involved in a place of business. Very poor experience, this is our fourth time playing, he he has been rude all occasions, very course nice course but mean grandpa needs to retire, seems like he hates work.

Fun Course with GREAT Conditions

We had a blast playing this course. We teed off 6:30am - some of the most beautiful views I've ever seen. Elevated green complexes, always add at least 1 more club. Greens were great - fairways were great. ONLY BUMMER grill was closed for summer (they could have told us so we could have made other food arrangements) - otherwise - it was great.
