Links @ Terranea
Walked the Blacks (1239) using the remaining tee times on my Forelinx membership. The weather was beautiful, clear, ranging from almost still, to breezy to windy at times. Played 18 holes in 2H, 15m walking in the morning, so the POP was excellent.
I used a different club on 3 of the 9 holes the 2nd time through because of the changing conditions. Most holes have elevation changes and the prevailing ocean wind make this course more challenging that the yardage would initially indicate. The holes range from 104 to 173 yards from the back tees. I used everything from a 6 iron to a Sand Wedge off the tee.
The tees were generally good, fairly lush with most divots freshly repaired.
Although the fairways and rough do not really come into play much since this is a par 3 course, they were both very lush.
The sand traps were very nicely maintained with nice quality sand. More traps that you would expect on a fairly short, 9 hole par 3 course.
The greens were smooth and putted medium fast. Firm but still receptive to well struck iron shots. Not many straight putts on these greens.
They have a very nice chipping and pitching green in addition to the large practice putting green that was very reflective of the greens on the course. No driving range, they have nets for you to warm up in. The Clubhouse/Pro Shop is in a trailer but well stocked and very functional.
The Customer Service from everyone was excellent. The damage from a hydraulic leak on the 5th green has been repaired and is healing nicely, should be back to excellent in 10-14 days. Tremendous views & excellent course conditions make this a very fun par 3 course. Will definitely play here again. Recommended highly.
A great place to play!
Absolutely loved this course. I felt $8.00 dollars to rent a pull cart was outrageous and would suggest bringing a lightweight bag. No point in playing anything but the back tees for anyone who has swung a club before. The one thing it lacks is the ability to warm up into, at least a net. That way your not warming up on the first couple of holes. Greens are predictable, well cared for. I'd definitely play here again. Played with my son, who said afterwards that "it's the most fun day, we ever had on a golf course" To me, that's priceless!
Fun course...slower than it should be
This a fun little par 3 that everyone should play if they have the chance. Constant ocean views, very nice staff and some wicked greens. Unfortunately, we got stuck behind a "date" and boy did it take a long time to play a short course. I'm all for enjoying the view, but wow, maybe you want to let some people pass while during the courtship! I have to imagine most days are probably like this given how busy it was by the time we left.
Again, great course, just wish it wasn't quite so slow relative to the course setup.
My new fav
Great views, great people, great price on golfnow.com worth the drive.
Great Place
It was our first time playing this course and going to this resort. This place was great. Can't wait to go back and play it again!
Review
Not worth the expensive price. But if you can find a deal online it's worth it. Great views great course condition. Great work for your short game.
Bobby welcomed us and got us started, great service
If it's a hot day bring water, no trees until the last hole!
Gorgeous little course, ocean views, beautifully landscaped, well kept. I will be back !
A challenge
Course was more difficult than I expected. Very hard to get the ball to stay on the green. Beautiful views of the Pacific.
good course
Fabulous scenery and course are enough to attract not only player, but also two ladies in my family.
Playable,well designed,greens great shape,.
Directional sides posting course number to next hole . Easy to" walk past" proper next hole.
Lot of fun ,enjoyable would replay.!!
Fun and fast
As par-3s go, it doesn't get much better than this linksy layout. Ocean views accompany you throughout the round. Unfortunately, so does the ocean breezes that make shot-making and club selection difficult. The greens and their surrounds are well designed to challenge better players but allow beginners an avenue of escape. Golfers always finish in under two hours, leaving enough time to enjoy the rest of the resort's five-star offerings. PGA pros have a cool short-game practice area and three indoor simulators to help you with your game.
THIS IS A GREAT LAY-OUT.
WE HAD A BALL, THE LADIES LIKE THE COURSE BECAUSE OF THE GREAT VIEWS. MY WIFE HAD ONE OF HER BEST ROUNDS, SHE SHOT A 38 ON A PAR 27. WAY TO SCORE!!!!!
Gorgeous suround
The peaceful atmosphere at this resort recreational golf course has a breath taking view and the fresh ocean breeze where you can forget everything else for an hour & half of your day.
Refreshing 9 hole course
Terranea was a nice departure from other 9 hole courses. The ocean vista was a definite plus. The bunker laden course provided challenging play. Excellent signage.
Scenic plus
Great location, scenic views. Course maintained very well but greens were aerated recently. 16 mph wind increased the difficulty. The 30 min. tee spacing allowed our threesome to play at a relaxed pace without anyone ahead or behind us.
SCENERY JUST AWESOME!
Played with my sister, first time for both of us! Experience was great; course very challenging, and scenery was just awesome! Would definitely play again and recommend to friends!
Spectacular Views
Great 9 hole with amazing views. Customer service was ridiculously good and the course was in perfect condition (rained for 2 days the week before). Def worth the money and a must do!!!!
Great TIme
Fun course with great views. Lots of tee options make it playable for all. Non-golfers can walk along for $10

Great for your short game. The resort is great to spend time after golfing--enjoying the scene at Nelson's.
Very Challenging Par 3 Course
My group played Terranea for the first time. It was the most challenging Par 3 course that I have played. If you don't have time to play a 18 hole golf course. This is an idea place to play.
Layout was great. All the holes are challenging. We had a great time at this little nice get away. Beautiful scenery throughout the course. We played all 9 holes in about 1 hour and 15 minutes. I will be back to play again.
