The Preserve at Verdae
About
The Preserve at Verdae sprawls across a lush landscape of rolling hills and meadows covered with beautiful Carolina forests. Formerly known as Verdae Greens, the golf course was completely revamped but one of the primary goals of the renovation was to find harmony between golf and nature. The carefully reworked course does just that, blending seamlessly into its scenic surroundings. Rambling brooks wander across the layout and provide water hazards on a few holes. The wind is also a major factor on this golf course. The breezes can be either light and refreshing or strong and blustery, making proper club selection even more important. The most photographed hole on the golf course is the par-3 second. If you're lucky enough to come when the azaleas are blooming, this hole offers a breathtaking setting.

Beautiful but tough finishing hope. Photo submitted by u000001682547 on 10/03/2013
Great shape!!
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.
Nice course
course and greens were in great condition.
Friendly staff and great carts.
Great Course
SUPER FRIENDLY STAFF!!!!!
Very challenging course. Well worth the few bucks to play!
Great place
It's not an easy course. You'll have many a challenging hole. At the end of the round you'll be grinning from ear to ear!
Some interesting holes; some Goofy golf
Pretty wet (cart path only). Course needs some drainage work & TLC to be honest. There are a few interesting holes, but some that make you wonder what the architect intended. I’d play it again, but would probably try for a Golf Now deal or similar; wouldn't pay full price.
slow, set-up terrible for higher handicappers
I do not love this course. It's not great value for the money. Greens were good but the fairways are perpetually soggy due to drainage issues and pace of play is terrible. One of the reasons pace of play is so bad is because they let the rough around the tee boxes grow unreasonable high (maybe this is bc it's "Preserve"?).. so, if you miss hit a tee shot short you likely look for the ball with no success and drop a stroke. this make pace of play very painful and for a low handicapper, your going to spend all day on the course waiting = no fun. On top of all this they charge $65 for a round. There are tons of courses in the area for less $$ that are much better layout and conditions.
Better Course Condition
We played on a hot Sunday midday. The layout is OK, but since this was our first time, we were not sure about the landing area and direction to hit. Perhaps, too many blind shots.
We are an older couple and found the hills were a bit difficult especially on No. 17 where it was cart path only. Late in the round, the trek back to the cart after hitting was up a steep hill.
I like courses with natural areas, but the course could be a bit more kempt. It had some areas that were in need of upkeep.
But, overall, an OK course.

Not worth the $
Apart from for playing conditions, cart paths that are virtually nonexistent, poor drainage, virtually no yardage markers and a complete lack of a course Marshall, this goes down as one of the worst courses for for the money that was spent.
Apart from the above, the parking lot was clean and tidy it right next to the clubhouse
Hello, thanks for the review. We see you rated the course 1-star. We take single star feedback very seriously at our course. We always appreciate the feedback. Please reach out to our team in the golf shop. Thank you for playing The Preserve at Verdae.
Overpriced and slow
First off, I have played this course 20-30 times over the years.. I have never loved it but this last time just ticked me off because it was so slow.
• Wet – this course does not drain well and many areas of the course and are unplayable most of the year. Do not play if it has had rain within 48 hours.
• Expensive – while the greens a good, the playing conditions a rarely ever great.
• Rough around the tee’s penalize mid-high handicappers – 12’ rough around the tee boxes only penalizes the high handicapper and of course slows play down tremendously. If a ball falls out of your pocket on the way to the tee box it’s gone. Really doesn’t make since to me.. Mow down the rough around the tee boxes to speed up play. You are a an average public course for goodness sakes.

Pretty course/Rude staff
This is a country club, if your not apart of the country club don’t expect to be treated nicely. Very rude staff!
Great Greenville Golf
Florida golfer loved the rolling hills and tree lined fairways. Cart path only due to recent rain but course in great shape. Will definitely play again if we get back to Greenville!
