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.

Decent course

This is a decent course with a pretty layout. There is a decent amount of work being done on it, so there were closed tee boxes and spotty fairways. Should be nice when all the work is done and the grass has grown in all the way for the season. Still a lot of brown grass. Greens were in nice shape

They call it "Slow Play Verdae" for a reason

Will be much better when the fairway grass comes in - right now it's like hitting off of a highway - the ground is so compacted.

Usually a verynice course

This has always been one of my go-to course when I have a day off work. During my last round the conditions were awful. The usually fast and smooth greens had not been cut and the greens were like velcro. I will give this course another chance because there is a lot of work being done to get the course ready for spring (city tore up some of course running sewer lines directly through the course this past winter). I will hopefully amend my review in a few weeks as I believe this place will be be looking even better after they are finished with all the improvements.

Terrible condition

I've played this course many times in the past and it is typically my favorite course in the Greenville area. At this time, however, the course is in absolutely terrible condition. The area around the greens is so poor that it's impossible to chip. The fairways are one large divot. The tees on 11 are under repair and we had to hit off of a AstroTurf mat. Number 12 was so ugly that a comment was made that "this looks the set to an apocalyptic wasteland movie". I would not recommend playing this course for at least a few months and hope they can return it's grounds to the conditions that the course deserves.

Not bad not great

Decent course but should be in better shape for what they normally charge. Tee boxes are not overseeded. Looks as though they are making improvements as only one 9 is open. Can't recommend it in its current state unless you get a really good deal.

Greens were in great shape. Ball rolled extremely well.

The course was under construction so we only got to play the front 9 but we got to play it twice and it was only 14 bucks so no complaints here. 60 dollar course for 14 bucks = GREAT DEAL!

Would go here again

Altho' Verdae only has the front 9 open you get to play it twice if you pay for 18. The back 9 is under maintenance. By repeating the same 9 in the same round - I found I could improve on my round and took off 4 strokes!! Great pace of play and in pretty good winter condition.

Only 9 holes open...

Missed the Course Alert that advised only 9 holes open (until spring). Even the open 9 had the feel of being undr construction, so not the best. Course typically tough with fast and sometimes severe greens; very important to be below the hole. Will wait until front 9 reopens to play again!

Good condition

Course was real empty. Some reviews stated only 9holes were open but we were able to play a full 18. Greens were real quick as they had them cut really short. Rest of course looks great even though grass was in winter mode. Tee boxes were a little abused but nothing where you couldn't find a surface to hit from. For the price couldn't find a better deal and course! Love going here to play when in town!

Very challenging

This is a great course, but I only had the opportunity to play the back 9 twice due to a sewer line repair that was taking place on the front 9. I would call ahead to find out if the repairs are complete. I can't wait to see the rest of the course. It was in great shape!

Toughest greens to putt on in SC

Course was in great shape, but the greens were too fast for your avterage player. I am a 12 handicap and shot a 101 from the blue tees with 13 three putts. I struck the ball well, but the pin placement on some of the greens were impossible. Nice staff and course if up for a challenge.

The course was great.

The course was challenging but not overwhelming. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The pace of play was a little slow but we needed that with our level of play, the group in front of us was always in sight but never hindered us.

A definite must play.

Went to Myrtle Beach to play golf with friends and wound up at this course because of bad weather conditions at the beach. Well that was my lucky day. Made reservation to play in Greenville and boy was that a good choice. Golf course had great greens, friendly staff, great food in clubhouse, and a course that was not only challenging but just fun to play. I can't wait to go back and playing this course again.

Seductive and Alluring

This tract is very challenging, The fairways are seductive and draw you in to making a number of decision. Greens are excellent and some multi-tier greens which again causes you to make a decision. Well worth the money and effort. Staff super friendly and they do you keep you on time with round.
