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.

Don’t trust the 4 stars

Course is rough

Staff is rough

Greens are in good condition but are too long

Course is riddled with ground under repair

Bunkers are hard pan with an inch of groomed sand on top

Comfort stations were not equipped

No beverage cart on a 90 degree day

Even with a GN discount this was not worth the frustration.

Terra Lago Golf

Although the course conditions are a bit ratty, it’s a fantastic layout and challenge. But….when things go wrong!!

My cart stopped working on the hill between 3 & 4. Tried calling for help repeatedly but no answer. Eventually left the cart and walked back ti the clubhouse, very disappointed. Golf shop guy gave me a free pass for next time. For all my trouble i told him, it should’ve been 2!

Senior Golfer

Layout is very good. Little rough around the edges and the greens could be better but overall good value for the money.

South Course is not as tough as the North Course but there are some very good holes.

Greens were just ok. Some dead patches. Course is a little rough around the edges.

Layout is challenging. Good value for the money though.

Loved this course

This is at the top of my list. It’s not for everyone but I loved it. Links courses are challenges and not enjoyed by many. Everything went well. It will be the first course I play when I get back. I play many courses for my college budget. My team member agrees with me.

It’s been very slow, but you have to give them credit. They’ve been persistent to make small improvements each season.

Poor customer service

This is such a great course to play, and it's a great deal as well. However the customer service has always been subpar. From dropping your clubs off to checking in to return in the cart at the end of the round The staff is disinterested, lackadaisical, and does not interact with the pain customer whatsoever.

The Worst

Probably the worst golf experience in the Desert this year. Course was in horrible condition. There were no hole descriptions to guide you. The bunkers were either hard as rock or grown in with grass. Staff was nowhere to be found. No visible maintenance. Could be a great track but someone is going to have invest in the course and its eco system.

Meh

Course is ok. Temperatures were near 100 degrees and there were no cups available for water and ice to stay hydrated. Ice machine at snack bar was broken. Unacceptable for a golf course in the middle of the desert.

Too hot 4 golf

Very hot 37 degrees. Very dry and dusty, poor to non existent cart path directions around the greens, lots of driving between holes, no shade on this links style course.
