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.

Terrible

Terrible. Arrived for 1:50 tee time and were told carts have to be in by 4:30. Sunset is around 5:15 here still 45 mins of golf to be played. Complete waste of our time, shouldn’t be offering 18 holes if the cart has to be in by 4:30. Don’t play here, terrible

Underwhelming Experience

We'd played Terra Lago several years ago, but I didn't remember that you don't get back to the clubhouse at the turn. I expected to have a cart girl or some options for food and beverages after teeing off at 10:40, but nope. There was a closed snack bar at the turn, but no options anywhere out on the course. That is pretty disappointing for a supposed quality course.

Bunkers were horrendous. Couple greens in poor shape. Need better signage for cart directions.

Decent range, average fairways.

Underconstruction

The fairways are still recovering from maintenance mistake. Greens are good. No mention of hole 17 being closed for bunker work.

FUN GOLF DAY

Course in excellent shape, except bunkers, which were very hard and lacked sand. Nice layout and fun to play. A lot of wind , but still playable,. Greens in very good shape for the most part and some difficult undulations, but interesting. Pace of play was excellent. It helped to have a regular player show us the layout and where to miss

your errors. Overall very nice golf course with friendly staff and very helpful. A bit expensive but so is everything else in the valley. Would recommend this to anyone but would like to play the north course for comparison, knowing that the north course is even more expensive than the south..

Nice!

Nice job cleaning this place up looks great, Time to do some bunker work. At 68 bucks during winter this is a great deal. If you've never played here and are contemplating, Go ahead and play you'll like it.

Honestly the best course in the desert for the money

I’m a low handicaper that really enjoys playing a long course, and I don’t want to spend over $100 to play something 7,000+ yards. The fairways, greens, and tee boxes are in excellent condition. The rough and sand traps are below average, but I try not find myself there much anyways. If the wind picks up, I will say this can be a very challenging golf course. I usually can finish under 4 hours. When I visit the desert I make sure to play here every time.
