Rating 75.1

Formerly known as Landmark Golf Club, the Golf Club at Terra Lago was the host of the PGA Tour Skins Game from 1999 to 2002. The club's impressive guest list includes Greg Norman, Phil Mickelson, and Tiger Woods. There are two 18-hole courses available called the North and the South. At 7,044 yards, Terra Lago's South Course is just barely shorter than the 7,060-yard North Course but they are equally challenging. The South is known for having one of the club's most unique and memorable holes, the par-4 second. This narrow hole runs alongside a wide canal that makes anything hit to the right impossible to play. The unique part of the hole comes as you approach the green. To cross the creek, rather than having a traditional wood bridge, the course designer crafted a bridge from an old rail car, which explains its nickname as the "Boxcar" hole.

No sand in bunkers

I did like the course layout. However the fact that bunkers were just mud with no sand was very disappointing. Par 3’s could have been beautiful and fair if there was sand in the bunkers that surrounded them.

Starter just took our receipt with no greeting or helpful information such as where bathrooms were located on the course.

Terra Lago South

This course has slipped over the years. There is zero maintenance of the sand traps, drainage pipes lying around, 2 golf bags lying in a ditch for the entire month of March. For the state of the course it should be 30.00 bucks a round.

Very disappointed

Very hard to find the T,s. We played red. Also bunkers were so hard, no sand, or water and mud. For the money, it was awful.

Not worth the money or time

Well, this is a poorly maintained course. Many holes had no signage indicating where they were so it was easy to get lost. On the other hand, Hole 13 had 3 or 4 signs, all right by the tee box. The carts are range limited so the cart dies and beeps if you are too close to the green but also if you are in other areas which are not marked as closed or forbidden and in some cases are at the side of the middle of the fairway. No sand in the multiple sand traps and most traps have vegetation taking over the area. I won't be back or recommend this course to anyone.

Need some improvement

Lake’s smell, sand traps are terrible and have no sand in them, several greens have a fungus or disease, zero ball washers to be found. Still had a good time!

A wasteland

South course is not very pretty. The North is better, but the South looks like a toxic wasteland at points.

Poor hospitality

The check in was rude. We paid for balls to use the driving range. We got out there and it was closed so we had to come back for a refund which took forever. The greens had just been punched which we were not informed of and no discount was offered. Would not come back.

Inside staff are grumpy old men

The cart barn staff are awesome...the Starter was golden...the inside the pro shop "behind the desk staff" were pretty grumpy. The man that took my money, didn't even let me know that Ii had to purchase range balls from him, and that they weren't available at the range. So, back I went. Would have a much more efficient check-in and save some time by asking your guests some appropriate questions and/or pointing out the essentials to having a good time/round at the course.

I would recommend this course if they could get a good online price.
