Golf Club At Terra Lago - South Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Fourth hole on the South Course Photo submitted by William4478124 on 02/22/2014
Pace of play was excellent. May have been a gap in the tee sheet so we started a few minutes early and had no one close behind.
Greens were reasonable speed and in very good condition. The fairways in places were a little rough with areas burned out to no grass at all. We did play winter rules if we hit a bald spot. Despite that, completely playable and we enjoyed the day.
Terra Lago South
We got lost getting there due to lack of signage both getting there plus on the course. It was very easy to go the wrong way on course and have to double back. Playing on the course was also confusing. The cart paths were very had to find and you only knew you were going into restricted areas when the cart started beeping. Drainage from prior storms have eroded quite a bit of dirt and traps. We had to make judgement calls as to ground under repair far too many times. Landing areas were confusing and scattered making it difficult to judge where to go.
Terra Lago South after 1200 p.m.
The pace of play was horrible. Too many groups out on the course at one time. Having to return the cart by 5 pm made it even worse. If they let the carts stay out at least sunset we may have gotten more holes in. Maybe have a marshal monitor the afternoon sessions and push slower groups. I understand that the price of golf is outrageous to play earlier at almost every course, but $60 per person to only complete 12 holes because of slow play and returning the cart early is also outrageous. I may give it another go, but we’ shall see.
they lost my rez , but were able to sqeeze me in , 30 mph wind constant unfortunatey. south coarse had poor signage to get to back 10 got lost. al in all it went as well as could be exoected.
So much potential
You could see why course hosted a number of skins games. Great layout yet minimal maintenance. Too bad really. I wouldn’t think it would take much to bring it up on par with other great courses in the valley.
Slow
They need to crack the whip at this course. Easy course, not long, carts….should equal 4:10 max. Not 5hours.
South course in need of landscaping and maintenance. Multiple areas have looked under construction for five years.
Great Day at Terra Lago South
Good weather, a little windy, great tee boxes, great fairways, and fantastic greens. We had avoided Terra Lago because of old reviews. We were surprised at the great conditions and the pace of play was fast at under 4 hours.
Definitely will be back.
Rain avoidance
Course is in excellent conditions. Fairways go dormant so there’s a definitive color line where rough begins. The staff was more than accommodating. Both courses are very nice. Underpar has a voucher for $145 for 2 players to play the North course with $35 options to replay on the South course. Whether it’s 18 holes or 36 holes, this is the best priced course in all of Palm Desert area.
Could use some work
Good value. South course needs a lot of maintenance. Many areas look like they had construction started and then abandoned. Needs cleaning up and some landscaping
The water canal ran through several holes and made the layout of those holes difficult
