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
Would like to have had a refreshment cart on course.
Since the course layout does not bring players around to the clubhouse at the turn to buy drinks/snacks it was not a wise decision on the managements account to not have a snack cart on the course. I was told the course was completely booked so there were certainly enough customers to warrant having this service available.
No water to drink!
Course was fine but the water stations only worked if you brought your own bottle to fill up! They had no cups available until the 12th hole! No drink cart and the gps system wouldn’t let you deter to clubhouse between 9 and 10th hole. It literally stopped the cart.
Was a big disappointment and will be the first and last time playing here.
Most clubs here actually include a bottle of water for each player on the cart on ice.
Fantastic
We have played north and were waiting for south to open. It did not disappoint.
Hot
Hot spell couldn’t finish. From the great northwest, whew.
Grumpy staff and bad greens/ bunkers
This is some of the worst golf staff I have ever dealt with. Paired with that the greens were longer than the average fairway out here and the bunkers looked more like bomb holes than golf bunkers. With how many options there are out here don’t waste your time and money here. An extra 20-30$ for a different course goes a long long way.
Not bad for one of only courses open
Course was a bit rough healing from reseeding, but one of the only Palm Springs public courses open. We ran into a High School tournament on the back so they let us play the front of the North course for our second nine. It was in better shape and normally more expensive so we were happy.
Great conditions but could do better on amenities
We played the south course for 1st time and I was pleased with the conditions. Not as pretty as the north course but both are worth playing . Our only complaint is at 105 degrees it would have been nice to have ice or water available on the course. It was too far to head back to clubhouse. I can’t understand why they don’t have a beverage cart.
Value Lacking
Bag shuttle from bag drop nowhere in site. Grumpy proshop staff at checkin. Range balls not included, $5 for tiny warmup bucket. No GPS on carts, no layout on scorecard.
Greens not rolling true, fairways ok
Needs work
The staff were great and very helpful however the greens weren't really in good condition having bald and chewed up spots which was very disappointing. Also without any GPS on the cart and a fair few blind shots unless you know where you are going it’s a little hit and miss.
Good pace of play
Pace was great finished in 3.5. Good group of guys today. Course is still healing from re seed but not too bad. Good value thru GN. Will play again.
fun course, but
fun target golf course, but you need a gps system because the carts have none and only limited posts on the course. No pictures of the holes on the cards or tees so for many holes you are shooting blind off the tees,
almost perfect
2nd time out.
great layout, interesting holes... gusty for a bit, but otherwise fine. Carts were 90 degree after recent overseeding, course is recovering fine.
Good experience!
I had heard mixed things about Terra Lago. The South Course had also just come out of overseeding, so I tempered expectations.
Overall, I was quite pleased! Staff were friendly (I placed my bag down at the front and no more than 10 seconds later it was whisked down to a cart), from the pro shop, to starters, to the cart girls and back shop staff. The layout had a good mix of holes, and despite some rough patches around recently overseeded greens, the rest of the course (fairways, rough, and tee boxes) were in good shape.
I paid ~$85 on GolfNow, and my playing partners snagged hot deals for only $60-some odd. I think the course offers good value at either price point. I will return.
