Anytime a course is not well maintained or are having issues, "that's NOT good".
Let me start over by saying this course is a GEM. But I'm not sure what the course's challenges are up against because both the North and South course's holes on its southwestern part of their properties are struggling. It's been like that for MANY years now, and they can't correct it. It isn't so much that it is not playable, but it's just an eyesore after eyesore on those holes, and you wonder what you just paid for as you go by them. The good news is that it gets better the rest of the holes.
We love both the North and the South course of Terra Lago, they are equally fun to me. Most people would prefer the North, yes it's pretty and good, but the South is just as well.
There are some holes that you may find your self up top of a hill tempting you to drive the green (ahhh...), par 3s that are just to kill for in the way it's set up, long par 5s, bunkerings in strategic places, but be ware of the junk. There are holes you may apply power, but NOT all of them.
Great tracks. . . Enjoy them!
Would travel: 10-20 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing, Worse than average course for the area
Difficulty, Layout, Price, Ambiance, No Houses on Course, Pace of Play, Clubhouse
