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.

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.
