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.

Enjoyed playing this course but pace of play could have been better. Disappointing when you can’t finish the last 2 holes

Very good condition now

Played Terra Lago South on Tuesday November 28. The course is in very good condition now — teeboxes, fairways and greens all grown in and well maintained. And the bunkers were amply sandy and raked properly. The course has plenty of challenging bunkers and undulations on the greens, but it doesn’t suffer from a lack of care now. And the pro shop staff were plenty friendly.

Course was good. Nothing special but good. The back nine lay out is better than the front 9

It's in pretty good condition

I find the layout interesting and the course was pretty good. It still needs some aesthetic work around bunkers and waste areas.

Repeat visit. Decent value compared to many of the overpriced courses in the valley. Pristine, no, but a challenging layout with many great views. Traps are all waste traps as is the case these days with all the lower prices courses. Friendly staff.

Great course and great value

Greens, tee boxes and fairways were in great condition. Traps were washed out a bit due to heavy rain night before. Finished round in 3.5 hours. Friendly staff. Will definitely be back.

Not worth it

Poor condition generally. Got lost 4 times between holes because signage is very poor. Checkin and starter personnel are unfriendly and give the impression they are not enjoying what they do. Course in general is scruffy and unkempt.

Always under construction

Very slow to play. All areas looked to be under construction. We played this course 7 years ago.

Won’t play it again.

Also,no beverage cart and we were not told this by Proshop or starter.

My thoughts

It was OK. However the driving range was not open and the putting-chipping green was not open. There was no water available on the back 9 and there was no refreshment cart. Lots of improvement is needed.
