Golf Club At Terra Lago - South Course

Course was fine and good value for money. Friendliness of staff was mixed. Cart guys were great, Marshall and desk staff not so much.

Couldnt go near the fairway. Long walks with bad knees. Should have been warned before hand about cart path golf. Wouldnt have played

We were unable to drive on the course as we had to stay on the cart path. We should’ve been given the option to walk the course with a pull cart. Over twice the walking due to having to walk back to the cart to advance towards the green. Stupid me. Others drove passed us to quit early, tried of the double walking. Never again will I double walk a course.

I was not told by the staff, nor even the starter that the course was cartpath only. I paid full price, instead of a discounted price, which is typical for the inconvenience of having to walk to your ball each time. But a customer should have the option of playing the course or not knowing that is part path only before they even pay. I paid and was greeted by the Shop staff and as I said, the starter didn’t even say anything. Unacceptable.

The worst golf experience I have ever had. The golfers(?) behind us hit into and over us three times, once hitting me in the foot. Calling for assistance from a Marshall did us no good, and received no help.

It was over 90 degrees, we were told that there was a beverage cart, and after 9 we asked that the cart come to us, as you are not permitted in your cart to return to the clubhouse. We finally saw the cargo, and the Marshall on 18, it was way too late, and a terrible experience.

Played the South Course during fall over-seeding season when most Desert courses are closed. The course beautifully follows the undulation of the surrounding hills and rock formations. While the fairways were in good shape, most of the greens were spotty and inconsistent at best. Not sure the greens had been overseeded from the summer heat. The two courses at Terra Lago provide a good alternative for October/early Nov golf. Despite the cart-path only rule, we played the 18 holes in 3.5 hours. Not bad for all the walking done along the way!

Due to overseeding across the Coachella Valley, there are limited playing options. I hadn’t played TL on a few years, so I thought I’d give it another try. I was quickly reminded how unattractive the TL courses are. Very few trees and generally an unkempt appearance all around. Since the south course was just overseeded, the whole course was cart path only. I understand why, but I would have played elsewhere, had I known it was cart path only when I booked.

It took almost 4 hours to play 11 holes and then we left. Cart path only.

1. No one was there to carry our clubs to the cart area. I carried them myself.

2. No one offered to place our clubs on the cart after the cart was assigned. My wife did that.

3. I mentioned both these items when I went into the pro shop for practice balls. The only response from the man at the desk? "We're busy".

4. No ice available at the water station at the club house. This is a desert and cool water would have been nice.

5. All these people wanted was our money and to see the back of us. Please do not waste your time or your money.

Some very nice holes with great scenery course was in pretty good shape greens a little slow as the just reseeded. We had to stay cart path only because of reseeding but they gave us a discount before we started which good of them.

We golfed Tahquitz creek resort lendgen course no compair to Terra. Terra 9/10 Tahquitz 6/10

It was a beautiful setting and the course was very nice.

The staff/groundskeepers on the course were very friendly and helpful. The grumpy cashiers in the club house, not so much. L

A couple of things:

1). We did not know until we checked in that carts were cart path only (maybe due to re- seeding) but that makes for an entirely different play on wide and hilly elevations especially for older people, and especially in the heat. So that is a question we will ask before booking again.

2). We needed to stop after 9 holes due to exertion and heat of an older person. No big deal on our end, BUT WE COULD NOT EVEN LEAVE THE COURSE WITH THE CART TO GET BACK TO THE CLUB HOUSE! Were we supposed to drive through everyone else’s game on the back 9 to get off the course?! We finally left the cart on the side of the road, went and got our car and u loaded the cart into it.

3). My wife went in to inform them of the situation as to where the cart was because I was too pisswd off and she wouldn’t let me go in, She reports that they were irritated and not helpful despite the fact that their cart programming is terrible.

4). Their cart programming IS terrible. The alarms went off several times while traveling on the cart path. Go figure.

It would have otherwise been a wonderful experience.

Fairway bunkers full of overgrown grass and weeds. Burnt spots on the greens. Fairways not in good shape. Won’t come back here to play.

Very unorganized and pace of play was horrible for late summer. Played behind various groups of 5 and 6 golfers. Seems like it’s become a super casual municipal course now with no cart service, Marshall or anything. Bummer.
