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.

Phenomenal course layout. Always an enjoyable round. Greens are still trying to smooth out from a surface treatment last month. A few greens that always have troublesome spots are still….. having troubles. But the grounds crew does a great job of positioning pins so that a putt is never affected. Conditions are probably 85-90% total potential Overall great course. Definitely recommend. One of the best in the area. If the price is what you are willing to pay, do not hesitate to book the tee time. Best layout of any public course in Greenville

Well designed

I am new to the area so this was my first time playing this course. They have great practice area's to warm up before your round. I thought the course was well designed, challenging, yet fair with 5 sets of tee's to choose from. A couple of the greens appeared to be having problems, but it was obvious they were taking corrective measures. Looking forward to playing here again!

Pro shop and management were extremely friendly and helpful. A few of the greens had some large spots where green had actually died and has to be re-sod, but those greens were big enough that pin was positioned in the good area and play was not affected.

Fairways were very good. A couple of bunkers had water in them, but they had a crew out working on bunkers, and nothing they can do about excess rain.

All in all, we had a very good time and thoroughly enjoyed playing the course. It has probably been 15-20 years since I had played this course, but my memories of it were good, and I was not disappointed this time around.

Pretty good

This course is in good shape and not bad to play. However, they have a lot of natural, wild areas so if you’re not hitting it straight, you can loose a lot of balls.

Course could be in better shape...

The course was in relatively good shape but not as good a shape as Furman or Clemson if you play those two courses. They are still having trouble with the greens. Many of the greens have bare spots and they still can't use half of the green on 13. This course has a high level of play and bare areas from cart traffic are commonplace. Honestly, the course needs to be redone. Removing trees and foliage will help the grass grow. Otherwise, it's just going to continue to suffer.

Beautiful Holes

Having lived and played golf courses in Las Vegas for the last 30 years, this was a pleasure to play a course with trees lining every hole on both sides of the fairways. Having course knowledge is important as I hit in the wrong positions on many of the holes.
