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.

Good Value

Arrived 45 minutes before tee time. Check in was slow. There were a few guys waiting ahead of me. By the time I was checked in, I was told there wasn't enough time for me to hit a few balls, as is "ten minutes to the range and ten minutes back." The practice area near the first tee is fine. The starter was very friendly and informative. He paired me with a few Canadians who were great people to play with. We were of similar skill levels and completed our round in four hours and ten minutes. I would recommend this course (South) for an enjoyable golfing experience and will likely play it again on my next visit to the area.

Nice Day

This is a very nice golf course. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The greens were not in the greatest shape but this is a dry time of year with a lot of wind. If it’s a windy day there will be a lot of dust because there’s lots of construction in the area. It’s challenging enough for any player because of the T selections. I would play this course again without hesitation.

Pace of play was excellent

We had a great time playing the course. The fairways and greens were in great shape. Greens were really quick. Some of the bunkers were rock hard and not playable (not supposed to be in them anyway). There could be better signage on some of the holes. Would definitely play here again.

The course is always an interesting and challenging one

The modifications made over the past year have made the course more playable for the average players. The two coloured grasses look nice.

Good Test of Golf

Very interesting layout, in which the holes will penalize bad shots yet award good shots. Greens rolled well with considerable undulation. My friend, a relatively short hitter, played the yellow tees at about 5,500 yards, while I played the blues at a little over 6,000 and it worked out well.

Good course good value

Course was great. Some confusion at cart pick up and range ball pass out. Water and ice station on the 12 hole was locked up mid afternoon on a 95 F afternoon which wasn’t great. No water available on the back nine. Course was in very good shape.

Lost and thirsty

Enjoyed the course, signage was poor. Hard to find the driving range, and tenth tee on the south course. Water stops had no cups, and ice station was closed. Will be bett prepared next time.
