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.

Poor Experience

I have played here multiple times before and the place has gone severely downhill. No on course service, staff weren’t very friendly, and course was in really poor shape. Won’t be back.

Course conditions.

There is sand everywhere except in the bunkers. Very slow play. Waited on almost every shot. Makes it a long round. Not sure if they are trying to put out too many golfers.

Bad golf course

This course offers nothing for a physically handicapped person. Staff couldn’t turn off cart beeping when not on the cart path. Tried 4 times. Course is in lousy condition,sand traps are gravel, weeds or grass not trimmed and fairways need a lot of work. My personal opinion is that this course should not be on GOLFNOW listings.

Bad golf course

Not friendly for physically handicapped people- horrible! Course in lousy condition. Sand traps gravel, not sand! Staff couldn’t turn off the warning sounds on the cart. Had to call clubhouse 4 times and it still didn’t shut off. Golf Now should take it off their list!

Tough pin settings that day

Enjoyed the round. Pins were behind bunkers on several shots adding a good challenge. Wind picked up final 4 holes but good playing conditions otherwise.

Was disappointed with course conditions. The bunkers and fairways have not been cared for at all. It’s really too bad because the track there is really good.

The golf course is in fair condition. The 2 staff members in the pro shop were very nonchalant and acted like I was a nuisance to them. however, the cart people were nice. The starter was also a very nice gentleman.

Pete Dye Course but very poorly maintained

Challenging course if properly maintained like it was when I played it a few years ago. Course has really gone downhill. Poorly watered, bunkers have gone to weeds, greens aren’t too bad though.

Play Terra Lago North not South

We played Terra Lago North about 10 years ago & really enjoyed it. Yesterday we played the South course & did not enjoy it. It was not in particularly good shape. It looks as if there were to be fairway bunkers but then decided not to & let the holes fill in with weeds. They should all be GUR. When we went into the clubhouse after our round to have a drink & a snack there was no one there to acknowledge or serve you so we left. Not very good value.

Big changes at Terra Lago

Hadn’t played the course in 4yrs due to pace of play. Decided to give it another try because we could use a coupon on Golf Now to bring the rate to $57.50 for a round starting at noon. Good news we started on time. Pace of play was great even with having to wait on each hole on the front Nine of the south course. Sadly the fairway conditions were only fair, spotty grass . The desert conditions were terrible - looked like dirt - the greens were only slightly better. Lost my ball in a crevasse on one of the edges of a green. The bunkers are like cement .

Inside the clubhouse the dining room has been converted to a banquet room, so sad as this was a great restaurant . the pro shop is half its size and the other half is now a coffee shop.

Water fountains on the course were closed .

I won’t return no matter what the price tom9lay.
