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

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

Course conditions horrible

Fairways were horrible. No grass to hit off of. Like hitting off dirt. Greens were like concrete. No sponge bite affect whatsoever. Pace of play slow.

Range was very good — best part of the course. The fairways were sparsely covered in grass. The traps were horrendous— not groomed, little sand in terrible shape. The greens were OK.

No Notice

Beautiful layout and staff was super friendly. Course conditions were not good. Looks like they did not overseed the fairways. Would have been nice to know prior to booking. Great hold rate but fairways almost like not playable. Stuff was friendly and greens were good.

Save your money

Maybe course was hood once, but not now. Terrible greens and limited grass. Marshall pushed us with noone 2 holes behind us. Plus no beverage cart on the course and no store at the turn to get food.. Maybe a $35 course in these cond.

Great layout, poor conditions

Fairways and bunkers in very poor condition. Greens were OK. Signage around the facility is abysmal. You just get the impression the place has fallen on tough times. Pity - it clearly was once very good.

Disappointed

Played this course probably 5 or 6 times over the last few years. Fairways very bad shape. Bunkers grown over and hard. Same every year. Staff a bit over bearing. Keep hoping it will improve.

Fred Couples would be sad

The driving range is closed on Tuesday and Thursday and when open it closes at 2 pm. We were told today that the driving range was open and were given a bucket of balls. Once we started hitting our balls a voice over a loud speaker told us the range was closed and to get off the range. Quite embarrassing.

On the 10th tee another foursome appeared and we were backed up for the back nine. The fairways have poor sparsely tufted grass, but greens were quick. Messy overgrown areas all around course and on going construction which led to poor directions for course maneuvering.

At least two staff members in clubhouse were rude when any questions asked. However the cart men and starters were quite entertaining and pleasant.

Very fun course!

We played the south course. The fairways weren't in the best condition, but everything else was. It is in a very cool desert setting and well laid out. The greens were fast and challenging. We had a great time and were never pushed or had to wait for group ahead of us.
