Great course

The layout and conditions were fabulous. The pace of play was also very good. It is a challenging course, but very fair. The greens were also in excellent shape

Fun!

This course is a really good test. Lots of elevation, penalty areas, lovely surroundings. The greens rolled OK, the rest of the course was needy. If the course was in the condition I am sure it once was , it would be high on the rating charts. Would love another go at it.

Worth the Beating

This course is absolutely FABULOUS. EXCELLENT conditions. But...it is EXTREMELY difficult. You cannot waste a shot! This course challenges every aspect of your game, regardless of which tees you play from.

Great layout but Conditions are Lacking

I've played The Preserve a lot over the last 3 years and this is by far the worst shape the course has ever been. I understand the course is still growing in from the winter and has been hit with a lot of rain already this year. Tee boxes & fairways are in rough shape. Multiple tee boxes barely have grass on them and there are multiple areas of the fairways are barren. Typically the greens are always in great shape but this is the first time I've seen weeds on the greens. This course has all the potential to be one of the best courses in the area because of the layout but the course condition will always keep it from getting there

Check Weatherr

Storms predicted all day. Couldn’t cancel since course was open. Pro Shop said we’d have no problem getting in our 9 holes. Barely finished 1st hole and it started pouring. Couldn’t continue play and out our greens fee. Course should have heeded weather warnings of the day.

Nice golf round

Course was I. Nice shape coming out of winter. Still wet, but to be expected. 4.5 hrs on Sat morning is to be expected as well anywhere. Tough track as usual but fun to play. I will be back

Beautiful Friday Afternoon

The fairways were dormant as to be expected but consistent and easy to hit off of, the sand traps were in great shape and the greens were impeccable, very consistent and rolled true. Will be out there again as soon as the rain stops.......guys in the clubhouse were very friendly also.

Great value

This was a very fun course to play. Shot placement is key, with lots of entertaining shots, elevation changes and challenging holes. Overall in great condition for the winter months. Some obvious wet areas, but they were easily avoidable, and the greens were in wonderful condition. Will be back weather permitting.

Most Excellent!

Really nice course for all levels. Beginners may want to pay more attention than normal to where they place shots. Is not boring for experienced players. Great layout, Great variations. Definetly will be back here again. Staff was also great, facility is great. Didn't try the food but noticed many people eating there so I am guessing it is great as well.
