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.

Very good course but play is slow and no marshals

Play is always slow on this course and there are backups. They close the front nine early so someone backed up at 10 can’t play the front nine again in the late afternoon - which would allow more play in the later afternoon.

Otherwise I think the course is very a good one with interesting variable holes and long wide fairways and difficult greens.

A very good course if you could get around in 4 hrs.

No fairway

Fairways are cut so short they are almost non existent. The grass along the fairways are much better to play on. Will not play this course again.

Ok value for the money

Course staff could use a class in customer service, course was in good condition not great condition. Had fun would play it again if nothing else was available in the same price range.

Hospitality could’ve been better.

Hospitality could’ve been better. Course marshalls cut the round short, there was still enough to finish our game but they were insistent on a 4:30 which significantly down paint the experience.

Wonderful weather and course layout. Needs some work.

Pace of play was slow. Fairways and traps need work.

They were having people leave the course at 4:30 even though there was plenty of light. We were on 18 so got to finish.

We have played here several times in the past. Course was not up to prior standards. Love the layout and challenges.

We will come back and give it another chance. They were obviously understaffed like most places.

Kicked off the course at 4:30

I’ll never understand why management here came out to the 16th Green and ask me to bring the carts in at 4:30. I had 2 holes left, and at least 45 mins of light. If this owner CANNOT afford an extra $30 for a couple of employees to work another hour to get carts in, they CANNOT afford to own a golf course!! RIDICULOUS!!!

COVID makes staffing difficult

I liked the course but staff were overworked and unappreciated. Amenities and what you would expect for food and beverage was lacking.

Associates we just trying to survive and starter perhaps could have been more pleasant. He was extremely frustrated and and made the first impression one that left a bad taste. I know things are hard on everyone but people don’t have to be mean about their approach to the guests.

Enough said. The course was nice and for that reason I would go back, pack a sandwich and some drinks and enjoy my day with the understanding I’ll take care of myself.

Well laid out course. Conditions were that fairways and bunkers were very average in terms of condition. Greens were good and a challenge to read.
