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.

No marshalling and 5:15 round…ugh!

Very disappointed with the horribly slow pace of play-seemed to be from one group of men but no marshalling presence had us backed up with four groups on 10th South tee. No one answered the phone when I called about this over the top slow pace by the 4th hole so I went in at the turn. A person did come out later but didn’t bother to go past the 10th tee to find the problem-instead he just blamed the group in front of them…which was US! This is not the first time the pace left a lot to be desired. We also weren’t impressed with the man who checked us in asking one of the players, “do you have a drinking problem?” when she purchased 3 beers for her and her husband. Sand traps were not tended, hitting off concrete, tee boxes quite rough and uneven frequently. This place has so much potential.

Terra Lago South

I like this course a lot, but lately it needs some TLC. The fairways have a lot of bare spots, bunkers are filled with what looks like gray dirt instead of sand. Slightly off the fairway and the dirt is so dried out so prepare to pick it or chunk it, you can't possibly get your club to take a divot. Most tee boxes were okay, but it hasn't been hit, so you can't say the grass was burned out. It seems like it's not getting enough water. You are better off playing Terra Lago North. It is more exoens8ve, but it is also better cared for.

Golf in Indio

After playing the North course, the South course was somewhat disappointing. The greens were very good and the layout is fun and challenging. The bunkers need a lot of work and hard as rock.

Overpriced Course Needs Attention

Fairways were all poor, almost impossible to get a good lie on 2nd and 3rd shots. Greens were the best but somewhat inconsistent. Would not play here again even if it was free. My review is a fair assessment after playing 18 holes on the South Course.

South Terra Lago has a ways to go

Course has been neglected for years in my opinion. It has the bones to be a fun course. Great views of mountains. Course conditions were poor due to prior neglect, but new owners hopefully will bring it around. It is in wide open area, so on windy day it can be a nightmare.

Overall, below average course & that’s why the price is low.

Going in the wrong direction.

We hadn't played Terra Lago South in two years. The course has definitely gone downhill. Not well maintained as in the past. Owners have let it deteriorate in favor of the North course. Too bad.
