Golf Club At Terra Lago - South Course
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
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
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.
Would not play this course again
The bunkers were just hard mud and the staff was not friendly or helpful
south course - you get less than what you pay for
mud and muck everywhere. greens are gimmiky. course doesn't provide range balls included or tees and carts are very bad
