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.

Play elsewhere

Poor signage and difficult to find the first tee. Several carts with dying batteries on the course and we had to wait on the 14th hole for a new cart to be brought out for us. Pay more and play elsewhere.

Wouldn’t go back until conditions improve

The staff at the course were great. Very friendly and accommodating. The price was acceptable but the condition of the course left a lot to be desired. The bunkers were terrible with grass and mud in a lot of them. The fairways had very little grass so you felt like you were hitting off clay. The only hi-lite were the greens which were in great condition. Too bad this is a really challenging layout with great staff.

Junior kicked my butt

We teed off just after 1 pm and we were only ones on south course. Played in 3 hours which was nice. Fairways and greens a little beat up. Layout is open but approach shots can be difficult if you don’t hit a high ball flight and are a hacker like myself lol.

Overall a great afternoon.

Potential

This is the first time I played this course through a recommendation. It has the scenery and potential set up to be an excellent value. I was disappointed in the

dry, patchy greens, hard dirt in the bunkers, and overall condition of the fairways as well as the difficult position of the pins in regards to the conditions. Later in the spring I might try it again to see if it improved any. Overall, I had a great time with some buddies and the weather was perfect.

Terra Lago has been in better shape

A combination of construction for new homes and lack of maintenance (no rakes for bunkers) and maybe water has deteriorated the overall quality of the course - still playable but not what it used to be

Tough Layout

It was an interesting layout. The fairways on the back nine were were driy and hard with very tight lies. The greens were domed and hard with quick putts.sand traps were overgrown and not well maintained.

Fun course, challenging

Great value for the money but the greens are very challenging as a lot of decent shots will keep rolling and you'll be surprised how long your putt is when you get to the green. But that's golf isn't it Excellent pace of play and nice fairways.

Terra Lago South course.

This course played just like i remembered,(haven't played here in years)tough but nice to play. I imagine those people who gave horrible reviews for this course just couldn't master it. I'd certainly come back.
