The Preserve at Verdae

They asked me for a review (probably not the best idea), so here it is. I live 5 minutes from the course and refuse to play there. The course and amenities are nice, and if you can get the first tee time of the day you will be ok. However, if you can’t play early in the morning because you have a job, or family, or really any normal life, then don’t play. You will need to plan for a 5 hour round so pack some snacks, a TV, any crutches you might need to get you through.

In the past year, I have played it 4 times and I was unable to finish 18 holes. Not an exaggeration we were on track for a 6 hour round.

I have given up any hope that it will get better.

The course has a good location and many parts a serene setting.(save the holes by the Interstate highway). Down side is that it runs 30-40% higher price on Golfnow than other courses in the area, and do have that value added.

Great golf course. Excellent condition.

Would have received 5 stars however when I was a member there the pace of play was extremely slow. Almost always a five hour round.

The staff have always been great, but a five hour round is not fun. I relinquished my membership and joined another course. It is not as nice as the Preserve however it’s more enjoyable due to play time. 3 1/2 to 4 hour round consistently.

This is Not a walking friendly course. Even in a cart you have to walk up and down hills because nine times out of 10 it’s cartpath only! Anytime it rains here it stays soft and mushy for at least a week! I’ve only played here when it’s cartpath only! I’ve played here about five times.Very poor drainage on the course #3,9,15,16 come to mind. The location is excellent with several things to do all around it including the amenities at the Embassy suites. staff is extremely friendly.. my husband and I wish we’d like to the course more because it’s so convenient! My husband is a very good player and chooses not to make this his go to course.

I joined Preserve at the beginning of the year and its been a wonderful experience. Not too often do you find a golf course, especially this well maintained in city limits. Its in the heart of Greenville but it feels very secluded.

Staff is very friendly with a good practice area. Highly recommend

Very nice course & layout. More yardage markers in fairway would have made this a 5 star., for December

Excellent course for intermediate players. This is not a course I would recommend for beginners. Very challenging but very fair . I would definitely recommend. Great staff!!

Played it for the second time and it didn't disappoint. Course conditions were great, greens were true, tees were good, bunkers were raked and in great shape(ask me how I know lol) and fairways/rough were great as well. Only drawback was the pace of play. The group I was paired with kept getting held up by the group in front of us (our three being held up by 3 and then eventually 2). It took just over 4.5 hours to play 18(granted path only play, but still incredibly slow) due to the group not knowing how to play ready golf. It would be recommended that maybe staff be on course to move groups along to keep pace of play moving.

Great staff, especially Nancy. I payed as a single and was paired up with two members. They were very helpful in suggesting where to play the ball. The yardage card and noted suggestions were also very helpful. A very positive experience all around. Played second and third rounds the next two days. Course dried out a bit the last day and was more fun when it was running and there was roll. Will play again when back in Greenville. Thanks Nancy for holding the lost 6 iron!

I really enjoy this golf course. The greens are always in great shape. The course is very challenging. The staff always goes out of their way. I highly recommend thsi golf course.

I do like playing this course but dont feel like the price reflects the condition of the course. While it usually is in decent shape its not worth the extra $15-20 per round to play it. This is the most expensive public course in Greenville yet the conditions are not much better than your average course. I typically play during the week but still cant seem to get a tee time for less than $45-50. Most courses in the area are no more than $35 during the week.

Course was in excellent condition. Great flag placement with greens rolling consistently. Best tee boxes I’ve seen in months.

This is a beautiful course! Not an easy course by any means. Greens are fast and true with subtle breaks making three putts easy to obtain.

course and greens were in great condition.

Friendly staff and great carts.
