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.

Very nice for the price. Enjoyed the couple we were paired with. Course was challenging. There was a hole that had the smell of a backed up grease trap. Sand traps needed fresh soft sand as that which was in them was hard.

Poor value at any cost

There were no amenities. There was no sand in bunkers, just hard dirt, There were no rakes. Obviously work is only done on North course, it should be an embarrassment to the owners.

Recently over-seeded, but in good shape

Played south course because North course was still closed for over-seeding. The south course opened around Oct 10 after reseeding, so it was starting to green up nicely. The fairways were still a little ragged, but playable. The greens were in excellent shape, which is what I care about most. We followed the 90 degree cart path rule, which is fine by me. Pace of play was fine. (About 4.5 hours.) A relatively challenging course, with some elevation changes which I didn't expect. Impressive desert scenery.

Needs some work, could be better

Course itself is nice, greens large but not many level, sandtraps are poor (no rakes, very hard sand/mud)

Golfed it in 2019 and much better then, read reviews that said staff unfriendly, but were nice in pro shop and just seemed a bit disorganized for rest.

No drink cart on course and no provision to stop after front 9.

For the money it is overpriced compared to others in the valley, seems they might be struggling with staff issues.

$50-$60 would be a more competitive rate in my opinion.
