Beautiful link course- Par 3 only/9 holes

It’s a beautiful link course with great layout of ocean view. It’s a good exercise for a walking short round. I’d prefer to play 18 hole if it’s available after driving from 30 miles away.

Great course with ocean view

A great 9 hole par 3 course. Good workout for your irons. Distances range from 90+ to 170+ yards. Hilly and picturesque. A fun course, one of my favorites for short game practice.

Terranea

Terranea was great! Friendly David accomodated a change in plans and honored my reservation a day ahead of schedule. Proffesional staff all the way around.

Note to GolfNow you can learn from Terreanea management style and the willingness to accomodate a customer.

I will definitely recommend he course and the staff id very helpful and accommodating. I wish I could say the same with GolfNow.

Excellent yet Challenging Course

My husband and I were staying at the Terranae Resort for my Birthday on 8:/13/19! Which was amazing! Today August 14th we decided to play a round of golf at the Links! Wow it was a very humbling experience for relatively experienced golfers. The grounds were immaculate! The Staff employees there were amazing, professional and extremely helpful! Joe and David were exceptional and made our experience memorable! We will visit again soon!!

Neat little course

Was there for a work conference and shot 2 over.

Great little fun course to just get around on.

Wouldn't travel to play it but if you're in the area or staying at the resort.

Fun little track

Booked this on GolfNow with a hot deal for two. Partner could not make it. When I checked in guy behind the counter tells me when I’m done with my round to check in with the starter and he’ll get me out again since I had already paid for two. Sweet, very nice gesture that I was not suspecting.

Golf, very nice par 3. Difficult greens, pace of play was good. Tees off at 8:30am by myself today payed behind a two some with no issues. Second round again by myself but caught two groups of a five some. No course should allow five some. Both groups let me play through

No issues with the course, complimentary apples on some of the tee boxes which was nice. Beautiful scenery overall great place.

Terrenea

Walked the Blacks (1239) in 1H, 15M playing as a single. The weather was clear and breezy, around 65. The tees were lush with good coverage and the normal amount of par 3 divots. They had no divot mix to repair divots? Thought I finally found one on the 4th tee. However, it was a pleasant surprise in that it was actually a container filled with chilled delicious apples! The fairways and rough are both in excellent shape. I find the traps tough to play out of because of the thickness of the sand coupled with some of the huge lips. The traps were well maintained with thick sand. The greens are unusually large for a course this length. They putted medium fast and were mostly smooth. Moist and soft after the rain, they held iron shots like throwing darts. The downside being a par 3 is that they have many more ball/pitch marks than a normal course. Tremendous views coupled with a good course layout make this a very fun course to play. Many holes have elevation changes and the prevailing ocean breeze always swirl here. The Customer Service from everyone encountered was excellent as usual. Limited food/beverage available onsite. No GPS, they do have range finders on the tees. Easy & fun course to walk. No motorized carts but a walking cart is included as part of your fee. The Pro Shop is in a trailer but is very functional & well stocked with merchandise. Nice chipping and pitching green in addition to the large practice putting green. No driving range, they have nets for you to warm up in. Recommended.

Par 3 course that's fun to play

always wanted to play this

Par 3 coures. Got a great deal on GolfNow and couldn't pass up the opportunity. Me and a buddy tee'd off around 8:50AM and we felt like we had the whole course to our selves! One surprise was that every hole had its own range finder, nice! I have to mention the service, it was great. I will diffentitly be back when I want to play a nice 9 holes. Keep up the great service Terranea!

Gem of a Course

Great 9 hole just down the road from Trump National (for a lot less $). Staff was very nice. My son and I walked (no pushcarts). We were teamed up with another twosome - very nice people. The course looks much easier than it is - nice condition. The greens are very tricky but a lot of fun. Overall - a great little track and a lot of fun to play. The only nit was the parking - no dedicated parking for golf - you compete with the resort. We had to valet park (no charge if you pay gold and MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR RECEIPT AND HAVE IT VALIDATED IN THE PRO SHOP or you will pay $20 for parking). We had to wait almost 30 minutes for our car to get brought up due to how crowded the resort was - probably because it is summer but still annoying.

Great little course!

I got a deal on golf now so the price was not too bad. However when we got to the course we were charged more then the price stated on the golf now confirmation. So we lost the savings we had from golf now. This is the first time this happens. Every other course charges exactly what the confirmation amount is for "Due at course". I felt like We were over charged but we played and had a good time. Golf now needs to check this out. It's not right to expect to pay one amount and be charged more.

Everything was perfect!

My friend and her daughter visited me from Korea for sightseeing. And as a souvenir I decided to show them beautiful Long Beach view as well as getting together. It was a perfect satisfaction for us.
