No Golf Carts

The course was very manicured but the pace of play was horribly effected by the lack of operational golf carts. Unfortunately this placed the staff under undue stress and this was felt by the customers. The starter snapped at me prior to telling me there would be a one hour delay. We barely had enough sun light when we got off the course. I sure hated it for everyone behind us. It was Veteran's Day and I'm a Veteran - I didn't enjoy the wait!

Great mix of holes and level changes. Greens were the immaculate. There was some odd damp spots with little rain over the past month.

Hidden Gem

My second time playing here. Course was in great shape and weather was fantastic. I love the place and it is somewhat challenging, but you best have an updated GPS app when playing. Blind hazards across several fairways and there isn't a flat spot anywhere, including the tee boxes, so every shot is practically played on an uneven lie. Tough sledding on the greens as most were in shadows due to tree cover and I played mid-day. So extremely fast in the sun and wet and slow in others. Seemed like every pin position was on a mound or ridge or tucked in a corner, but my putting stinks anyway. Highly recommend the place and pro shop is nice too.

The Preserve Course Condition

Very nice layout. However, fairways were very dry bermuda on clay soil! Lots of roll on tee shots, but tough to hit long irons ir fairway woods.

Greens were very firm also….even 54degree wedge pitches from 25 yds ran like crazy.

Course should use some irrigation

Great Course and Value

Course has a bit of everything including water, force carry areas with natural areas including weeds, bushes, etc. I would recommend this golf for the above average golfer. May be a bit difficult if you do not hit the ball well. The greens are very good and roll true.
