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.

Golf in the Badlands

Our first time at Terra Lago South. Staff was friendly. Had a cart shortage on this day; they shuttled us to driving range, which was nice, and picked us up later before our tee time. Was about 15 minutes late on our tee due to waiting on a cart. The area around the course looks like the Badlands of South Dakota, but the course itself was very green and well maintained. Nice variety of holes. Unfortunately our cart was losing power but a young man working the course passed by and we switched carts. Staff and course a five star, but not having enough carts loses one star. Would play again for sure.

Staff Friendliness

Arrived at the Pro Shop to check in. Golf staff sitting behind the counter failed to acknowledge our presence. Eventually I advised checking in for our tee-time. Was abruptly advised the course was closed for a tournament. I provided the confirmation as well as an e-mail from the club 1 day prior confirm the tee time and availability of rental clubs. Staff were disinterested, uncivil and discourteous offering no assistance or information.

Terra Lago

Played North & South 2 days apart. On both days we were told there was no range balls available. When we drove out to the range there must have been 100 Koreans practicing and there was 2 garbage pails of balls. When we tried to take some balls we were told by the attendant the balls were for the Koreans only. You could only imagine if the balls were designated for non-Koreans only. Check in staff and cart/bag handler staff are nor very friendly. Restaurant is closed.

On a brighter note both courses were in relatively good shape with the North being the better of the two. South course appears to have some sprinkler drainage issues.

Very Challenging

Played the south course in 20+ MPH winds which proved to be very challenging. Greens are elevated and very small with many surrounded by hard pan traps. Beautiful layout amid the mountains.

Bring extra balls

Although a fun round, this is a challenging course for mid-to-high handicap players.
