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.

Terra Lago South Course

I stopped playing the South Course for well over a year because I found the course was beat up and putting was impossible because the greens were rolled so hard and it was like putting on ice.

I played again because I got a good deal and was expecting the same.conditions. Well. I have to say the course was in very good condition and the greens were very puttable and I totally enjoyed my round of golf. The views were always beautiful and it was a great day. The course has always been challenging but I think it's fair. I will be returning to play again..

Marvelous desert course.

Terra Lago is a marvelous desert course, my favorite in Pal Spring’s area. It is challenging but fair. The staff is accommodating always. Played here for years and will again when back in Palm Springs. Play these courses.

Challenging enough, but plenty of trouble.

I played this course on Wednesday and the greens were very furry (slow). On Friday, the greens were much more normal. This course is just as good quality as most of the courses in the area that are priced $40-60 higher. Some of the cosmetics on the outside of the cart path are very ugly. All you got to do is stay out of the ugly places.

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.
