Golf Club At Terra Lago - South Course
About
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.

Golfer Reviews
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
Good
Had fun as always, that. Counts. Cart broke down last to times out with my foursome.
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.
no beverage cart. no water on course; no easy access to food at turn. terrible.
Good Layout.
Course condition is is bit rough. The traps are in need of work and are full of grass. Overall is was still fun to play. The is a lot of construction going on around the outside of the course.
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.
Another California Course Suffers
Seems just about every course ive played in California has really gone downhill. Terra Lago South is no exception. Restaurant is now closed, theyve stopped overseeding and cut back watering so everything is crusty and dried out. Bunkers haven't been touched and no sand. Remember when they used to be called "Sand Traps". I wont be back. In fact I won't be back to our Indio time share. No point to stay way out here when there's no restaurant and a derilict course. Sad
Great Potential!
With a little more TLC & some additional funding, this course could be an excellent track agin. Some turf management on fairways as they are very thin where the first cut and rough is better to play off.
Great driving range and practice areas.
The person n the Pro Shop needs some customer training. The rest of the staff with bag attendants & starters were great.
no grass
the fairways werer terrible no grass,the rough was great,nice grass
greens good,,would not play again
Course pooly maintained
The course was not over seeded so the fairways were very short and hard. Greens were good. Bunkers were horrible. Grass is growing in the bunkers, haven't been maintained in years and no rakes provided. My cart ran out of juice on 14th hole. I had to walk until a replacement brought out to me. (Did get free beer compensation).
Cart manager went ballistic yelling every obsenity in the book at his junior staff members because they weren't working hard enough. My assumption they weren't trained to know what to do.
I was supposed to play 36 holes but cancelled the afternoon round on the North expecting hte course to be in similar shape.
not the best of conditions
the fairways were a bit rough
The bunkers were hard pan. minimal to no sand.
greens were a bit bumpy in places but speed was fairly quick
No the worst I have played. Given the fees at other courses I probably got what I paid for
Worth the Drive
This course is a bit out of the way, but well worth the drive. Very picturesque. Course has several unique and challenging holes, particularly the bunker positions around the greens. Fairways and greens a bit depressed, but not too bad. Good value!
