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.

Challenging but fun

For early spring and after a heavy rain the course played very well. Cart path only to be expected. Greens were not fast but putted true. Staff made it a very enjoyable experience.

Great Prce

The course was in decent shape for the amount of rain that has come through the last couple of weeks. But, they made up for it by keeping it cart path only to preserve the course.

Once the weather dries out, the course is a great track to play.

First Time Playing

Better hit it straight!

This is not a relaxing golf experience. You need to be on your game on each and every hole. There is no let up, even after a good drive there is trouble waiting on these next shot. Very challenging course but very well kept. The greens are very good and very true. Pitched in from 40 yards on 18, made me want to come back!

Poorly Managed Course

A threesome was allowed to walk in and tee off in front of us, and no one in the group had the proper golf attire. Additionally, the group was sharing clubs. Due to the slow play as well as the "cart path only" for no apparent reason, it took my group almost 3 hours to play the front nine. I will never return to this course.

Hello. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and to best control pace allowing everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time, but this situation you described is not acceptable. We take this type of feedback very serious at our course. You are welcome to comment further or reach out to our team in the golf shop. Thank you for playing The Preserve at Verdae. We hope to see you again soon.

Needs to be manicured better

Good layout but too much rough and landscapping could be improved.

Suprising good for winter conditions

Used the First Tee book and played for $25. Golf shop staff (female) was very pleasant and welcoming. Didn't have high expectations since it had rained a few days prior and had been cold. I was pleasantly surprised at the the course conditon however. The greens were in great shape and rolled well The bunkers could have used a little attention, but were decent. Fairways were good--soggy on a few holes which were makred cart path only. The signs were small and could be easily missed if you werent paying attention. Grabbed a sandwich and beer at the turn. Good beer selection and very clean bathroom. Pace of play was good and we finished in 4 hours. A few tough holes, used all my clubs, lost a couple balls, had a very good time. Will be back.

Very nice course with great views

I have played this course a few times and enjoy it every time. This is not a grip it and rip it course. You have to think before you swing on a lot of holes, but rewarding course.

Greens Conditions

I have played this course several times over the last three years. This year the greens seem to be in an in-between condition. Every replaced cup can be seen and they are mostly not even with the surrounding surface of the green. More attention needs to be given to this since these are Bermuda greens they have a lot of grain and if the plugs are not properly oriented then the ball will not roll true. I have been playing golf for 60+ years and this is the first time that I have seen this condition.

Value-conscious track

Overall decent value. Fairly tight course with some quirky holes and blind tee shots. Condition seems to be improving as much-needed maintenance projects have been completed. Convenient location to downtown Greenville and local restaurants/shopping.

Links course with lots of obstacles

Course layout was narrow with not much room between opposing fairways. Must really manage the course. As first time players it was difficult to know where to hit the ball. Lots of elevation. Many cart path only holes.

Improvements made

This course can be challenging with several holes requiring target placement. A general knowledge of the the layout is needed, as several holes can result in landing within a hazard from a good shot.

Normal tee time rates can be very expensive. Would like to see more frequent discounts.

The course was in spectacular shape.

I played this course and was blown away at what great condition it was in. From the tee box, to the fairways, to the greens. Everything was in great shape. The greens especially. I will definitely go back. The staff is always helpful and friendly. Well Done!!!
