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.

Amazing Course, Terrible Staff

Drove 150 miles to play this course, it’s amazing, greens are in immaculate condition, fairways are in immaculate condition, sand traps were hard as a rock on most holes, the staff in the pro shop were not very friendly, the starter was why I would give this course 5 stars, I had a 910 am tee time, I showed up at 905 and he said I was late and the 2 some that I was playing with already teed off, he said they told me not to go to the driving range cause I would be late which I was 5 minutes early, he argued with me that I was holding up the line, he was definitely in the wrong

Great layout , interesting holes

Have played both North and South courses many times. Great mountain views. Holes vary with many elevation changes. Love both courses. Highly recommend for a very different and enjoyable experience.

Nice course layout.

Course layout and bunkering was very good. Conditioning was good but bunkers needed more sand.

Unfortunate golf experience

We played the South course. Their policy is to drop off your clubs at the entrance then staff takes them away and loads a cart in back of the building. Your bags are not available to get into once you leave your vehicle. The same procedure when you’re done and they shuttle you to the entrance. Not friendly. The course is not landscaped along fairways. Looks dirty. Cancelled the North course after we played the South

Perfect Day

I buddy and I had the perfect weather to golf, 74 degrees, cloudy. The attendants at the check in were first class. They took care of us like we were pros! Girls at food restaurant were friendly and put out some great tacos and beer. course in super good shape. Very challenging but very doable for us average golfers. Can’t wait to do the course again next week!

Great experience

We loved the course and found entire staff to be very helpful and pleasant. The greens were supreme and putted true. We played the South Course and it was a little confusing for a couple of 70 year olds to find the 10th tee box. But we highly recovered the course.

Owala

Course was in good shape, bunkers were awful, packed and hard. We had our cart switched from the on course marshal as the battery was low, forgot my owala 1.2 litre bottle in the rear basket, called the pro shop and advised them, got back to the club house and they didn’t produce it. So I was disappointing with this, figured the Marshall could have brought it back to me as I called them one hole after the switch.

Gone Downhill

The course is in better shape this year but the service is pretty poor. No restaurant, snotty pro shop staff. They take your bags 100 yds downhill from the bag drop but will longer clean clubs post round or take our bags back up to the drop. The Starter is useless. We had to confront two groups who tried to get in front of us at the first tee.
