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
Rainy day at the course
I played on a rainy Saturday afternoon. The course seemed to drain pretty well. There were some soft spots, but with the amount of rain that day and the previous day it was in good shape. I would love to play this course again when it is not wet. Cart path only was the only draw back, but that was expected. Fairways were lush and green. Green complexes were in very good shape and rolled pretty true. I was very happy with the course, it was a fun, but not overly challenging track. There are a few holes that are really pretty. There are some holes where shot placement is a must and some where you can let it rip. I was very happy with the course and recommend it if you have the chance.
Great Course but difficult
Beautiful course, great price as a hot deal. The staff was great. Wished I lived closer to play it more often
Hi "Dennis8662094" Thanks for the excellent review! We are so glad that you enjoyed your round with us Please come back and visit us soon when you are back in town from Florida. Thanks for Playing!
Labor Sunday Outing
I reserved tee times a couple of months in advance for a small group and all staff in pro shop very helpful.Course is in excellent condition didn't see anything of the bad greens mentioned in an earlier survey.I saw one green that looked like it had been repaired but was done well and nowhere near pin of the day.This is a challenging course with difficult rough.I would say it is quite long for average golfers of both sexes.This is a good layout maybe a little overpriced but worth a visit.
Hi "Jane5641591" Thanks for the great review! We are so glad that your outing went as planned. Please feel free to contact us soon to reserve your group for next year! Thanks MGT
Great course!
Highly recommended, challenging fairways and greens in excellent condition.
Hi "u827030988" Thanks for the Excellent review, we are so glad you enjoyed your round with us today!
First round
Really nice course, excellent condition. Couple holes I could hear noise from the road, only small drawback. Plenty of golf babes was a plus. Would definitely play there again soon
Hi "magnum4u" Thanks for the great review at The Preserve at Verdae we aim to please all customers. So glad you enjoyed your round today!
Needs some work.
The course has at least 4 greens that have some pretty large bad spots that have been filled in with green sand. There are a few holes, namely number 5 that has a bridge to get to the other side where the green is, that has briars overgrowing the course. When you can't navigate the course because the briars and brush are growing into the path, it's time to trim. Cart paths are pretty rough on the course. I thought I'd need. Kidney transplant by the end. May need a few weeks for the greens and someone to cut back the brush.
Hi "rcaudill1969" Thank you for your honest review. We appreciate the comments and making us aware of the situation. We will get with our maintenance crew and take a closer look. Thanks MGT
Want to play here again!
Super variety of fairway doglegs, straight, and interesting par 3's. Loved the 8th hole, par 4, that finished totally downhill. Can't wait to play again and want to walk the course even though there is a lot of up and down hill for walking. The starter and course workers were super friendly! :-)
Hi "u000006394755" So glad you enjoyed your round with us, the course is extremely challenging with some great incline walking holes. Thanks for playing can't wait to see you back on the course shortly!
Nice Course
Enjoyed staying and playing this course. The staff was friendly and helpful and the course is in great shape. The practice area is fantastic.
I would definitely recommend this course to any level of player.
Hi "Gibbergolf" Thanks so much for taking the time to review our course, we really appreciate it! We are glad you enjoyed your round with us .
Course and price
Great course in excllent condition. Somewhat pricey for the local area, but there are some deals available.
Hi "labeam223" Thanks for the excellent review, we are so glad you enjoyed your round with us! Thanks for Playing!
Great layout
enjoyed the course, every hole was different and had character. The course was in great shape even though we are experiencing a drought. Shot placement off the tee was pretty important to provide a good angle for your second shot. Its typically somewhat pricey but I got a great deal on golf now.
Hi "tonyhuber07" Thanks for the great review, we are glad you enjoyed the course and layout. Thanks so much for playing with us and hope to see you back on the course in the next few weeks.
Excellent course!
I was paired up with 2 course employees and they made the round very enjoyable!
Hi "chipper42" We are so glad you enjoyed your round with us. Thanks so much for the great review!! Don't forget to book your weekend round early with us for the PGA Championship. We have great twosome and foursome specials available online.
Overall wonderful course
The course is ideal in many ways. Layout can be challenging but not defeating. Fairways were in great shape. Greens had recently been punched, but rolled pretty well. Several greens had large areas under repair. This particular day the pace of play was dreadfully slow. I was advised by one of the off duty rangers who was playing in a group ahead of me to skip a couple holes and come back and play the two I skipped. It was so congested I never was able to play the two holes I skipped. I was scoring well that day, but will only know my score based 16 holes.
Hi "u931415287" We apologize about your round on this particular day. The course was very busy and we are sorry you did not get to finish your round with us. Please give us another try in the near future. Thanks MGT
Great Course to play
I like the course, played it now for the 4th time. Always in good shape,,aAlways challenging. The greens are fast even after aerifcation. Just a great place to play. Only the foursome in front of us where extremely slow.
Hi "Arnd8199382" Thanks for the great review and we love these pictures. We will be posting these to Facebook shortly. Thank you for the support!
Very challenging course
Overall course in great shape. Fairways lush and clean. Greens running true with subtle undulations. Rough at a professional degree of difficulty. Traps were clean and groomed with clean sand. Enjoyed challenge but much too difficult for my game!
Hi "carnesie" Thanks for the Excellent review, we are so glad you enjoyed your round with us. Don't forget to like us on Facebook for some great golf specials!
Great course
I enjoyed this course, but it is demanding especially if you are playing it for the first time. Good tee shots are required, and strong iron play is helpful. Greens putted smooth, and nice speed. I will definitely play again.
Hi "Thomas3619855" Thanks for the great review, we are glad you enjoyed your round with us. Can't wait to see you back on the course shortly!
Great Course and Customer Service
I played this course on July 15th, 2015. Was greeted by a friendly attendant in the pro-shop. Utilized their range for a great price. Was paired up by a very friendly ranger. Walked 18 holes - Very unique and challenging course. Satisfied with everything.
"zachvc10" Thanks for the excellent review! We are glad you enjoyed your round with us. Please come back and visit us again!
Great twilight value
Nice course. Only downside is that if you've never played it before, don't expect to shoot very well.
If in Greenville you must play here
Stopped at The Preserve at Verdae on the way home to Florida. Great Course, Great Staff and an incredible layout. First time players should bring some extra golf balls. Looking forward to returning on my next trip. Five Stars on the course. I did not eat at The Grill but will the next time.
Preserve at Verdae
Played 18 holes on a Wednesday at 11:30. It was a 2.5 hour round as a single. Had to play through a couple of groups who asked me to play on. The course was in excellent condition. A couple of tee boxes needed some trimming around the box. The price was very good using a Golfnow Hot Deal. The regular rates are a little high.
Great experience!
This course is different! I figured out where the preserve came from. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens were great! Everything else was preserved. You have to use your imagination and place your shots, or else have plenty of spare balls. Great experience! Staff seemed anxious to please as well. Not something I would pay regular rate for often but thanks to Golf Now, ur was well worth it!
HI "packfan51"Thanks for the fantastic review! Thank you so much for taking the time to review our course. We apologize the weather conditions were not perfect on this particular day, and we appreciate your understanding. We hope to see you back out there on a more sunny day.
