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 course value

Layout is challenging, but not too difficult. Staff is friendly, condition was very good. Only negatives was no beverage caret and not possible to sit and enjoy the 19th hole with friends.

Great layout

Beautiful scenery. Course had a lot of construction going on. In many cases it wasn’t clear on which direction to go. Would definitely play there again.

Course is playable but in the best condition, greens are fast. Most of the staff when you could find one, were inattentive and rude, except for the starter on south course. Not going back this year.

Disappointed

Condition was poor, unusual for conditions in the valley this time of year. Practice area closed due to evidently an outside group. Would not play again even if free!

Poor Fairways

Worst fairways I’ve played in Palm Springs area. You were better off landing in the rough. Fairways were bare, baked, and very little grass. First cut around all greens were in the same poor shape. Very disappointing.

Terrible conditions

The fairways are in terrible shape. No grass on them

The sand traps were like playing on concrete.

There was no staff to take my bag to a golf cart so I had to carry it down and get my own golf cart.

I’ve played this course a few times but this time was my worst experience. I was really disappointed because I like the course.

Terra Lago south

Played it twice in three days. Every lie was tight as there was simply no turf on the ground, made for very challenging golf. Greens were lightning quick with very tough pin placements, maybe two or three paces from the edge of the green each time.

Disappointed!!!

Been playing this course for 7 years now and has never been in excellent shape but this year is the worst I have seen it. The fairways are terrible the bunkers have grass growing in them.

Over all. Not impressed. I had 2 tee times booked and I ended up cancelling the second round
