Tera Lago

The course was in decent shape. Fairways were excellent, but greens were spotty and rough in places. Pace of play was good, it did bog down in spots throughout the round. But overall was able to finish in a little more than 4 :15 hours. Enjoyable course, with plenty of challenges, but still fair to play. Would recommend to anyone, especially the north course, over the south course.

Open fields

The course was in decent shape, including most sand traps. Some were very hard, and played like dry pan.Fairways were decent, but the rough was spotty with grass and sand. The winds were up this day and sand was blowing through out the course. It made for tough conditions with wind and sand, especially into the wind .Greens were decent but had some rough patches that made them a little inconsistent, but not terrible. The pace of play was Ok, but needed a Marshall at times when things got really windy and slowed down a lot.Staff was friendly, but still couldn’t get the pace moving well. Overall , fun day, and fairly challenging, but lots of similar holes, that made it a bit of a blur overall.

Good course

The course was in excellent shape. The greens were fairly quick,and rolling true. Fairways were in good shape and wide enough for you to miss a little, but still recover from errant shots. Starts out easy, with a few easier holes, but there were plenty of challenging holes to keep you focused. Pace of play was excellent, until the 13th hole, when things got backed up for no apparent reason. It did finish decently,at just over 4 hours.Can’t complain compared to some other courses in the area. Overall, great round of golf, with plenty of challenging, and some easier holes. Would recommend the resort course to anyone.Staff were friendly and knowledgeable.

Picturesque and beautiful

Beautiful course, with plenty of room off the tees. Typical Norman design. Plenty of challenges, but very playable. Fairways were excellent, but greens were top dressed with lots of sand and seed. Very bumpy and not great, but playable. Rolled true, but inconsistent, with some slow and others quicker. Tees were quite hairy but flat, and it didn’t matter much because of being able to tee it up. Pace of play was poor, as it took almost 5 hours to play .We did manage to finish, but was tough to see for the last two holes. Overall, very nice course and fun to play .Would recommend , but give yourself plenty of time to finish.

Basic par 3

Course had some challenging holes, but was very basic. Straight away holes, with a few elevated greens, and not much character. Fairways were thick and rough and very inconsistent. Greens were fair but inconsistent. Some slow and others quicker. Pace of play was poor, with waiting on some holes and then speeding up to catch up, and then slowing down and waiting to hit. Best hole was the last, with some challenge, and beauty. The rest of the course was pretty non descript. Not very interesting to play. You needed a lot of patience to get through this course. Not worth the money. Other par 3’s are better value than this course.

Practice shorter shots

This course is for a beginner golfer, or someone who wants to practice their wedges, or maybe a 9 or 8 iron. There was nothing over 140 yards, and most holes were between 80 and 120 yards.The staff and players were all very friendly, but this is for short wedge practice. The bunkers were quite deep and in fair condition. The greens were quick, but bumpy and sparse in places. The pace of play was good and everyone was friendly and cordial. Tees were beat up with divots , and hairy. Didn’t really matter though, cause you didn’t need a tee for the shorter clubs to hit . Fun course to walk, as there are no power carts allowed. Overall fun time , but not a course for a serious player.

Beautiful and engaging.

The course was in excellent shape and a pleasure to play. Greens were very good, with only a few that had some bare patches. The fairways were generous enough, but still needed to keep control, so as not to put yourself in trouble. Bunkers well positioned and in good shape. Pace of play was consistent and finished within 4 hours. Overall a great day of golf. Staff were friendly and helpful with your questions and your equipment.Would recommend this course , and better if you can get a bit of a break on costs by booking with golf now.com .

No one on staff said anything about the 1st hole on the north course being almost completely washed out , where you end up playing a par 3 from about 135 yards, instead of a par 5 , just over 500 yards. Found out from the members I played with as we were driving down the cart path. The fairways were in good shape, except for the few holes that that had steep elevation, where the fairways were washed out mud and sand. Too many blind shots on the north course. Had no choice but to play the north and south 9 hole course, as the west 9 holes was washed away. The south was much nicer to play than the north.The rough was green and thick, and difficult to play. Greens were just average, very bumpy, inconsistent,and sparse in places.The south side had more interesting, and picturesque holes, but far too few for me to recommend this course to anyone. Even though we finished at a little over 4 hours, the pace of play was frustrating. There are many old timers playing this course who cannot hit the ball well. So to wait for players dribbling their shots 50 or 60 yards down the middle , was very difficult to get into any kind of rhythm. Save your money and find somewhere else to play.

Moved well until the 12th hole, where everything was backed up. Slow play for the rest of the round. Course in very good shape, although some greens were a tad sparse in places. Overall great layout, with some tough , and some easier holes. Would recommend the north course.Check out golf now.com for any deals.Otherwise it’s not cheap to play.

The course was in decent shape and the greens were pretty good but definitely not great. Pace of play was good and the layout was pretty straight forward. Still, fun to play, and not overly difficult. Good place for the average player to make some shots and score well if you kept the ball in play. Overall, good fun, and a decent course. Would recommend to anyone, but would recommend golf now.com to get a better deal. Most courses are overpriced, especially this time of year.

FUN GOLF DAY

Course in excellent shape, except bunkers, which were very hard and lacked sand. Nice layout and fun to play. A lot of wind , but still playable,. Greens in very good shape for the most part and some difficult undulations, but interesting. Pace of play was excellent. It helped to have a regular player show us the layout and where to miss
your errors. Overall very nice golf course with friendly staff and very helpful. A bit expensive but so is everything else in the valley. Would recommend this to anyone but would like to play the north course for comparison, knowing that the north course is even more expensive than the south..

The course was in decent shape. The greens were in better shape than the fairways, which made it enjoyable to putt . Fairways not so much. Lots of bare , sandy patches. Needed to move ball in fairways at times to give you a decent lie for a shot that should be rewarded for being in the fairway. Bunkers were inconsistent, with some with plenty of sand, and others pretty bare. Not all bunkers had rakes, which made it impossible to leave a clean trap for the next guy. Pace of play was OK , but only saw Marshall once for entire round. Staff friendly and helpful, but little done to keep pace moving. Overall good value, mainly because the greens were quite good. The rest of the conditions were just average.Still would recommend to play for the money.

FIRST TIME PLAYING HERE…

Enjoyed playing your course today. Decent shape, and pace of play was decent. Much nicer than a lot of courses in the area , but the more than double the price makes you think about how many times I would like to play , as compared to the quality of the golf course. Playing your course was a joy, but the number of times I could play a course of similar amount would leave me far too short of my golf fix, being from north of the boarder and not having a club in my hands since November. . Thanks for a good day , and I would recommend your course to play, only with the warning of be prepared to pay.

Champions Course

I thoroughly enjoyed my day at the course. From warming up, only a short walk to the range, to the practice green right in front of the club house. Both were in excellent shape , with plenty of room for several people. The course itself was beautiful, with plenty of different looks, and enough challenges to keep you interested. The shape was excellent, and the views stunning. I would recommend this course to any caliber of golfer.A little pricey, but compared to similar prices of other courses, it was in better shape , and more interesting to play.
