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
Grossly overrated here
Rained out and no refunds.
Thats Golf Never for you.
Not a bad course, not the best but not the worst
Nice course layout with some challenging shots. First time playing this course but was fortunate to be paired with another player who knew the layout well and was given tips on all the doflegs for best results. Pro shop personnel was rather abrupt and didn't seem to want to be bothered by the likes of me, starter was great and funny, easy going. It was a nice 75 degree day almost no wind, all the people in our forsome purchased our tee times on Golf Now and all strangers, everyone was nice and we had a good time.
Challenging but nice course
It was 36 degree weather so only a couple of groups were playing.The starter was rude as we were trying to finish our roundand made us skip the 17 th hole and go to 18 and finish our round.We would have had time to finish before dark if we could have played the 17th.It was a slow round due to him making us cart path only.It should have been 90 degree rulebecause it was only wet in very few areas that we could have easily avoided.
Great staff & course to play on
I visited from Oregon for the holidays & decided to play a round. I received great hospitality from their staff
South Carolina golf at its best
Awesome golf course great greens dramatic lay out super friendly staff ! Shot high 80’s but was my 1st Time there struggled w “grain “ & speed on the front 9 ,learned quickly from that & had steady satisfying back.. ... winter hit Long Island so I’m shutting it down but will replay this round for inspiration this winter all in all one of the best course I played this year !
Great course well worth the money
Really nice course in good shape, the fastest greenS I’ve ever played, think hard wood floors. I’ll definitely be going back soon everyone working there was exceptionally nice especially the lady at the desk.
Great design that will make you stay focused.
Course has interesting challenges & scenery. Always in very good condition and the staff is top notch.
Challenging course
Enjoyed our round. Greens rolled true and fast. Approach shots must be below the hole. Had a great time!
Wish GN would come down on convenience fees. It adds up.
Thank you.
Course is good but they sell 10min tee times
This course is nice and you can play for cheap with golf now deals but they stack in the tee times at 10min. I played in a twosome with a buddy on monday and it was typical of this course, we had someone infront of us the whole time and someone purposefully hitting into us on the back nine. If you arent shooting par, or have someone in front of you who isnt, prepare to be annoyed.
Always great
Love this course!!! With GN, cannot be beat. Greens are fast and elevation changes make it challenging. Course personnel are always kind and sincere. One of my favorites in the upstate.
could be better!
It is a nice golf course, challenging with undulated and fast greens, dog legs and blind shots, good stuff. Still very disappointing there are no rangers on the course to keep the pace... and this is not first time! one group of 4somes ahead a head of us with loud music on... barely moving, totally rude (just to be polite)
Challenging course
Course was in great shape. The greens ran true and were very challenging.
Although golf now’s price made it affordable to play i still don’t understand all of the “convenience fee” charges.
Thank you
Great Course
The Preserve is a very well maintained, but challenging course. The staff can be a bit snobby, but that is easily overlooked because the course is so much fun, and doesn't keep me from giving this course an excellent rating. There is a wide variety of holes on the course, and there is a lot of privacy as you're playing. I've been very impressed with the pace of play, especially given that this course is so popular. Major kudos to the staff for their impeccable scheduling. Definitely a must-play course.
Nice course
The course was nice but the front 9 was very narrow requiring a very accurate tee shot. Green were dyed dark green which made it more difficult to read the breaks. The fluffy grass around the greens makes it impossible to run a shot onto the green. It always lands like its being caught by a sponge. A couple of holes are a bit hokie which require a iron off the tee but it does provide a risk / reward shot off the tee. The difference between the white tee box and the blue is significant like 600 yards more 6100 white versus 6850 blue where I usually tee from.
Overall, nice course but very challengjng tee shots and greens.
For me this course is very difficult but love challenging my sel. If I can play good in this course, I will play better in other courses. They keeps course top shape and staffs are super nice. I am planning to play more in this course.
Fun course
Good layout, in good shape. Though it is in some lower terrain, after a few days of rain, it stays wet for a while, the bugs come out and it has the muddy swampy smell. Not on all the holes, just the ones that dip down near the creeks and lake. I still had a fun round and everyone there was super nice. Greens were in good shape.
