nice course to play

This course offers an interesting challenge but the management would show respect to golfers if they would post some indications of the hidden ravins crossing some fairways,which are now a caus to slow play,

The course is difficult but not to the extreme

The views are outstanding, The only negative is the range balls. You buy a token to use at the distribution center, when the balls are distributed you are given only about 20 balls.

Difficult

Without a sky caddie you are doomed...lots of roll which means you need to hit a shorter club than normal or your ball rolls off the end of the fairway.

Course was in good shape for coming out of winter

The course was in good shape for coming out of winter and the fairways and greens were rolling fairly true. The course was in a 1 hour frost delay when I got there and really had not done much to catch up the time by putting the players out quicker or by keeping them moving with the marshall. We only saw the marshall once but the group ahead of us was quite slow.

Great vistas, challenging holes

The Preserve is a great looking course that also supplies a challenge. Many elevated tee boxes but with fair options for different levels. Course was in very good shape from tees to greens.
You definitely need to buy the yardage book and the pro shop should tell you so you can avoid some of the desert trouble not always visible.

Beautiful views, great site & layout, nice condition.

Very scenic, back nine pristine without houses on it, nice layout.
Condition very good, large rolling greens.

Quite far north no easy route without traffic but worth the trip.

challenging but fun

I think that there should have been a refund or rain check policy for inclement weather. It snowed during our round and we froze.

Great Course but be aware of frost delays

Lovely mountain setting. Reasonable tough, challenging course with some, but not overly long, carries off the tee. Great greens and faiways. Beware the desert cacti. Got a lot tougher when the wind got up.
Not a walking course. We were paired with a carrying walker who managed to keep up but only by rushing, permanently being in front of our shots which is off putting, and arriving noisily at the tee box as someone was teeing off. This detracted somewhat from what should have been a lovely if colder day in the mountain desert
February brought a cold snap that led to a 2 hour frost delay. Fortunately it put a lot of players off and they recovered to only being 30 minutes late at midday.

It really is a Preserve for Golf!!!

Well, what can I say, this is a course that would be worth playing for twice as much as we paid $46. Thanks GolfNow, this was a great time, plus it was my Birthday which made it even better. There were a lot of bunkers to contend with unless you carry 240-250, but still an excellent round.

A Beautiful and very challenging layout!

The Preserve is a very beautiful and challenging golf course. It rests at the foot of the Catalina Mountains and offers spectacular views throughout the round.

The course features many tee options for the various skill levels of the players. For the first visit I recommend playing the shorter tees as there are numerous holes with ditches that cross the fairway.

Our pace of play was 4.5 hours - mostly caused by the slower play on the difficult holes. It's a challenge, but worth trying.

Deceptive Challenge

Course didn't appear difficult from the clubhouse or yardage on the scorecard, but this was not the case. The rolling, undulating fairways made for a challenging round. Be prepared to play from lots of awkward lies. Also has forced carries and elevation changes. Think it would become easier after playing it a number of rounds. Good mountain views. Excellent condition. Reasonable price for the quality of course.
