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.

Improving!

I came in not expecting much. I was just hoping it was playable. The course was in much better shape than anticipated. Greens were fairly good and fairways were solid. The bunkers are the knock on this course, all 157 of them. They are working on it. The starter said this is the best conditions this course has been in 7 years. Good to see because when this course first launched, it was spectacular.

Good Value

The greens and fairways were excellent. The only issue around course conditions were the bunkers not in good shape at all.

Greens and fairways in great shape

Had great time except when checking in, they told us unlikely not finish the round before carts due back in. That was 1/2 hour before sunset. We rushed the entire day to try to get I 18 holes- we had time re sunlight. As we got to 17 the clock hit thar magic time...but the few in front of us did not quit, so we decided to finish regardless. We did finish, and had no issue- very frustrating to have shop tell me we wouldn't finish - I accepted time and price knowing we should be able to finish, not be told there was no way based on their timing rule

Following a day of rain

Required to keep cart on cart path, even though 90% was dry and normal.

No GPS, no beverage cart and one restroom between nines

Disappointed for such a beautiful course

Don't play here

The bunkers were hard (Like hard mud), the staff was not friendly or helpful. The only time they wanted to help was when they could pretend to wipe down your clubs for a tip.

Awesome

We were first told the North course is the better course, and that may be true however the South course was an exceptional experience. The weather was awesome, fairways were a pleasure to play from and the greens were fast and putts rolled true. Could not have adked for a better experience. To top the day off, a young gentleman staff member gave us and our clubs a ride back to our vehicle and when I realized we left our phone in the cart, he immediately went back to the cart return, looked for our phone and returned with it 10 minutes later. Like I said, an exceptionally great experience.

Slow

Our round was extremely slow! We followed the Korean golf team and we waited every shot. On every green they took 2 & 3 extra practice putts!! We were considering joining this course but not now as the Korean golf team books the prime slots.
