Desert golf at The Golf Club at Terra Lago in Indio, CA. Pretty course!
I like the North better than the South. Do they still have cameras set up on the par 3’s? For a while they had cash prizes for HiO on the North course.

What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Terra Lago Golf Club offers a unique desert links-style experience with challenging layouts and stunning mountain views, often at a great price for serious golfers. While the greens are typically in excellent condition, some visitors note inconsistencies in fairways and tee boxes, and pace of play can occasionally be an issue. The friendly staff and good practice facilities add to the overall appeal.
"The courses are decent to good. There are some really friendly and helpful staff beyond the pro shop. Less friendly in the pro shop! Good views of the desert, good variety of holes. Play was slow on a hot day, not convinced the marshals were doing there best to keep people moving. Good driving range and practice areas."
Mark Colwell
"Outstanding staffing, easy check-in, and all golf bags were on our carts ready for us to go to the driving range. Course design was challenging, fairways were in immaculate condition. Greens were breath taking, the roll was really slow. We would highly recommend this course."
Merced Quintana Jr.
"This is one of my long time favorite courses in the desert. To me it feels like a links style course, nestled out in the middle of the desert wilderness. Even the other well known golf courses this side of the 10 freeway really feel nothing like this truly unique offering.
Terra Lago is built up and down sandy mountain peaks across a broad expanse of desert landscape. The course offers a good variety of bombs away tee shots from elevated tee boxes, several challenging uphill holes, greens that beg you to attack the pin but can leave you heartbroken if you’re not careful, and some absolutely gorgeous views.
I have played this course for years and have seen the greens in better shape, but I take that with a huge grain of salt considering it’s such a hot dry climate.
If you are a serious golfer and want to test your skills for a great price, this is the place."
