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.

Poor customer service

This is such a great course to play, and it's a great deal as well. However the customer service has always been subpar. From dropping your clubs off to checking in to return in the cart at the end of the round The staff is disinterested, lackadaisical, and does not interact with the pain customer whatsoever.

The Worst

Probably the worst golf experience in the Desert this year. Course was in horrible condition. There were no hole descriptions to guide you. The bunkers were either hard as rock or grown in with grass. Staff was nowhere to be found. No visible maintenance. Could be a great track but someone is going to have invest in the course and its eco system.

Meh

Course is ok. Temperatures were near 100 degrees and there were no cups available for water and ice to stay hydrated. Ice machine at snack bar was broken. Unacceptable for a golf course in the middle of the desert.

Too hot 4 golf

Very hot 37 degrees. Very dry and dusty, poor to non existent cart path directions around the greens, lots of driving between holes, no shade on this links style course.

Highly recommend

Golfed both south & north courses & each were in great shape & challenging. All staff members were friendly & welcoming. Well maybe I should add that the gentleman checking us in wasn’t so welcoming on both occasions. Maybe he has some health or stress issues.

A challenge

Water features and plenty of slopes add to the challenges at Terra Lago South. For this time of year, March '25, the greens were slow, so one needed to be more aggressive on the pace. Fairways were a little thin in places but generally provided good lies. Bunkers look very scraggly and have inconsistent sand. We tee'd off at 1:30 behind a full field so it was a 5 hour round. Fortunately, the weather was perfect and we enjoyed our round.

S-L-O-W play

Pace of play really needs to be monitored on the turn to speed groups up.

Poor communication and service

We arrived about 25 minutes before our 11:20 tee time. No one could be found for us to check in. After inquiring at the bar we were told that the person responsible had stepped away, probably to the restroom. After nearly a 15 minute wait, he finally showed up, so we now had 10 minutes to our tee time. Another person was also waiting and it turns out that we were paired with them for golf. We waited a bit on first hole and then noticed a log jam on #2 tee. We finally teed off on second hole a full half hour after our 11:20 tee time. We discovered that there was some “official” junior amateur tournament immediately ahead of us (Toyota Tour Cup). We were not informed/warned. Our round took more than 5 hours to play, and Terra Lago is not a long course. Wouldn’t do it again. Probably should have left before we teed off on 2, but a ranger said that the pace would pick up after that hole.
