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.

nice day to play

little warm but pretty nice day overall. They are finally getting the drainage issues under control. Now a little more water on the fairways and it's perfect, just don't overdue the water.

Not worth the money.

First time playing the South course. Extremely disappointed. It was like they are not spending ANY money on this course. Bunkers are horrible, fairways not green, no bev cart and still they charged $99. At best it should be $59. Very disappointed and will not go back. Do not make a tee time for this course.

Don’t play here

We used to play here at least once every March when we come out to play golf for a week. Always challenging, but pretty good condition. We came for the first time since 2019 and it was horrendous. There were no fairways just dirt and crab grass. No sand in the bunkers, the list goes on. The greens keeper should be embarrassed. Waste of time and money. They let the course go and don’t care...makes sense why no one was there.

Going downhill

Apparently Terra Lago is intentionally letting the South course deteriorate. It appears they are investing more in the North course with water and keeping the green spaces looking good. The greens on the south course are not too bad the tee boxes were filled in. However the general condition of the course is getting worse from year to year. They are insistent and paranoid about anyone not bringing food or drinks on the course. During the four hour 18 hole round we saw the refreshment cart one time. And there are no drinks or food facilities at the restaurant or anywhere else on the grounds at this time. The rate through golf pass is not too bad, but for the money I think the North course is the best offering.

Perfect day for golf. Course was in good shape. My problem was the Greens. Could not adjust to the speed of most of the greens. We played the South course.

Good value but don’t expect much

Great place to play a round for good value in the desert. We had a bunch of wind this time that messed things up but aside from that, it’s a unique course with a good layout. They have let the fairways and bunkers go overall, kind of a shame. I’d recommend it for a good practice round but not even close to a top level course in the area.

Poor conditions

This course is in terrible shape. Played with a couple of local guys who kept apologizing for the bad shape. I guess it was a good place to play a few years agp.
