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.

One of the top courses in the Upstate!

Unfriendly staff

A frost delay caused us to lose a couple of hours and when I asked about just playing 9 holes and seeing if there was any discount available, Karen, the lady in the golf shop, told me that she would not discount the rate and that I should not have been given the rate that I had already received. She said we are "basically playing for the 9 hole rate anyway and that we could not play 18 holes for the rate and she would not discount the round." If the golf shop is complaining about the rates, they should not be doing it to the customers that are trying to play the course but rather to the sites giving those rates.

Other than the rudeness of the staff, the course was in decent shape for late November. It was tough to play without knowing the course ahead of time due to the doglegs and hills. There were some really fun elevation shots that challenge your shot selection.

What a course! Tough, but fair.

The greens were quick but rolled true. The fairways (when I hit them) were lush....but don't miss them or you will be in deep trouble.

Fantastic course with great features.

We planned on Friday evening to go for 18 holes on Sunday afternoon with two friends and found a tee time at Preserve at Verdae. We played that course the first time and it was amazing. The course is challenging for beginner to intermediate level players, in a fantastic condition and in a very nice environment close to Greenville downtown.

Course needs attention to low areas and rough.

I have played this course over the last ten years and must say that I was disappointed in its maintenance this time around. I understand their concept of minimal environmental impact and preserving the natural flow of the course, but having 3 ft. tall weeds growing just off the fairway with low wet areas rutted by maintenance vehicles and errant golf carts does not make for a pleasant golf experience. Many creeks had way too tall weeds growing at their edges and poorly maintained sprinkler head areas too wet to play from. This course was once a beauty, it is now just average and needs attention.
Play was also very slow, and on a weekday.

The establishment needs a ranger on the course

Ridiculously long round! had several groups in front of mine (single that turned into a threesome) playing best ball. No reason at all for the moping about that these guys were doing! get to your ball and hit! Where's the "While We're Young" initiative when you need it!

Always in great shape

Great course for anyone. An "A" can play a "B" player from different tees and it can be a dual. You'll use every club in your bag. Some holes you have to place it well and others you can BOMB it! I would recommend the course to anyone especially at the Golfnow rate!!!

A Gem in Greenville

We were greeted in the parking lot when a staff person brought a cart out to our car for us. The people in the pro shop were very welcoming and got us on the course quickly, the starter gave us a few helpful tips about playing the course. Conditions were fantastic, this is a very well maintained course. The course is challeging without being too difficult to be frustrating for a 14 handicapper. I highly recommend play this course, you will enjoy every bit of it!

decent golf course

The greens were in poor shape while the rest of course was in good condition. Accuracy off the tee is needed for good score. I recommend playing only if you can find a Hot Deal.

Other than the slow 5+ hour for 18 holes...its a great course. Probably need to get a course ranger to speed up the pace.

Very nice course, I recommend!

The course as a whole is nice. The facilities are terrific and service was excellent. Cart paths could use some work.

There were several blind shots off the tee. It would have been nice to had a hole layout view at each hole so you'd know if there was any hazards to be aware of.

The 4 or 5 different tee placements was nice. Golfers at any level of skill can play and enjoy this course. I'd play again if in the area.
