The Preserve Golf Club

I booked this after looking at the course photos on their website. When I got to the course, they met me at my car and loaded my clubs. I actually got out 30 minutes before my tee time which was fine because the parking lot looked better than the practice area. I figured the course couldn’t be all bad so played anyway. I was wrong. No real difference between fairway and rough, all over grown. The greens were unplayable so I just left my putter in the bag and added automatic 2-putt. The course has a lot of potential, beautiful layout, just a complete lack of maintenance.

The layout of this course is absolutely beautiful. Winding through woods and around pretty lakes. BUT, this was in the worst shape of any course I’ve seen, ever. We played 3 courses this past week. The first 2 were a bit rough from the hot weather, but this one was pathetically bad. Most greens were mostly ruined from the heat, and the last 3 were so bad they had cut temporary greens on the fairway (with no previous warning).

This was my first time playing the preserve at Tara. Based on my experience today, I can whole heartedly say, it should not be in operation. The course is not even minimally maintained. The entire round was awful. I had gone out with the intention of playing the full 18 holes. But decided that 9 holes was enough of my time and I left. The greens are a disaster, with spider grass all over and what looks like grass that is diseased. Not a flat roll to be had. The fairways look like they were cut last week and rough is longer than Oakmont. Yardage markers were completely wrong. Lastly, the tee boxes are like an afterthought. Long grass, beaten up. The entire facility is a disaster.

Staff and the vibe of this course is awesome. The back line was under repair so played two rounds of the front. Love the layout of the course main issue is the greens. But I’m not a professional never will be and it’s great to get out and practice Would be a five star for me if they would just get the greens in shape but very much enjoy playing here.

I like the course lay out and design with water surrounding. Some green are not puttable and have no grass.

Amazing staff and a beautiful layout. They are putting a lot of work into the course. looking forward to see where it goes!

First I thought hey low ratings let’s give it a try anyway. The day before I received an update they were aerating so we could only play 9 holes and play it twice for 18. We decided that was fine since it’s our daughter’s first time out to play. I confirmed our tee time at that point. Then once we drive the 45 mins to the course the doors to the pro shop are closed there is not ash employee in sight. At 9am the time of our tee time I get an email that says they canceled due to weather. Great first experience for our daughters who want to get into golf.

The greens are not in good shape but are playable. The course itself is beautiful, manicured and many holes visually stunning!

The attendants are really friendly and helpful.

they even throw in a full buffet with the incredibly low greens fee,

Give it a chance, rate it youself.

Father’s Day , had a 4sum . It had rained the night before so the course was expected to be wet .. but we were shocked . There was standing water more than ankle deep on multiple holes and not just a puddle .. across the whole fairway. The greens, well I wouldn’t call them greens at all. Most of them didn’t even have the grass which made very very bumpy putts . Some of the holes weren’t even on the green, but rather placed in the fairway in front of the green which you couldn’t putt worth a crap on . This course needs some big improvement.

Returned mainly for the buffet which was absolutely excellent and also they gave away free towels very nice…Course greens were in a little better condition and some temporary greens were put in since Monday but they didn’t tell us. Also instead of telling slow group in front of us to speed up they kept harassing us about slow play as some type of outing was being held and they wanted us to go back and start at 10. We eventually passed the slow group in front of us and finished the round and made it to the buffet which was just as good as it was Monday….They have some work to be done but they are getting there.

We love the course, but the greens are in horrible condition. I would not recommend anyone playing. If they care about scoring you’re out to have a good time it’s great.

First, the greens are not good, most have damage and the pro shop guy told me in advance.

Second, the layout of the course is very nice, decent fairways.

Third, you cannot beat the overall value; I paid $23.00 on GolfNow. It included 18 holes, cart AND a very nice buffet meal!

So, try it, you’ll agree it’s a great value and fun!

The course needs work but they are working on it. Very helpful, friendly, and accomodating staff.

This course is in disrepair right now. $13 was actually expensive for 9 holes. Stay away
