The Preserve Golf Club
About
The Preserve Golf Club at Tara features Ted McAnlis' par 72, championship golf course. Exceptional care was taken to protect and enhance wetlands and other natural features of the course. At just over 7,000 yards, the course offers four sets of tees, allowing players of all skill levels to enjoy a challenging round of golf. Eleven bridges span the many small streams running through the golf course, protecting natural waterfalls and wetland habitats. A unique feature is the 60 foot Mount Matthew, which sits between the driving zones of hole five and six and forms an impressive backdrop for the tee shot. A beautiful clubhouse is open for lunch daily and is perfect for seminars, banquets or receptions.

LAVA Cup at Hilton Head Island Photo submitted by Tom3815047 on 11/01/2012
good price terrible greens
the greens were terrible, have never played on a course like that. wILL NEVER PLAY again, and canceled a reservation that i had in the near future.
Rough condition
Green had cabbage patches everywhere ball bounces cant putt and tee boxes were in rough shape the layout is great this course has so much potential but wont be back until it’s maintained
WOW this course is in bad shape
I have played this course many years ago and recalled it favorably. In my opinion, it is a shell of his former self. The greens had weeds growing in them and the grass in the fairway was sparse. when I pulled in, I wondered why the parking lot was so empty on a Friday
good price terrible greens
would not play again and in fact canceled a future outing for 2
Course in terrible shape!
Course in terrible shape! The only thing good about round was golf cart and seeing alligator. I hope it gets better!
First time there and conditions were terrible BUT
So the conditions were poor at best but this course is trying to rebuild after last years hurricane damaged the course badly. Right now $25 a round is ok. Cool course otherwise. Lots of water, gators and very nice staff
Terrible
Quite frankly the worst conditioned course I have played on in 35 years of golf. Greens, fairways, tee boxes all in terrible shape, this course is not being maintained!
Course Conditions
Love the layout and distance. However, some the greens were downright awful (some were almost pure dirt and crabgrass) and some of the holes had all 5 sets of tees on one box…making it challenging for women / seniors and a joke for those who usually play from the tips. Staff was very friendly, but the track needs attention ASAP.
Lots of potential! Needs a makeover
I suspect that this course was something at one point but it's heading in the wrong direction
May need new capital...
The layout and overall design - could be awesome!
Until they see an investment - I'm unlikely to return
Course sucks
The course is not made for average golfers with the layout. The greens are all messed up and are very difficult to putt on. There is many blind shots leading to the green. Was very disappointed with how the course was maintained.
The Preserve at Tera Golf Course
The course was in very bad shape. Disappointed in how the course was maintained. Maybe blind shots from fescue/trees covering looks to the green.
Course very neglected
We used to play this course regularly but haven’t played for a while we were very disappointed as the tee boxes were over grown the greens were terrible full of weeds & bare patches. Paths & bridges in need of repair.
Very sad to see the course in such disrepair will give this course a miss in the future until it receives better reviews.
Good course and getting better
They are working on the tee boxes and some of the greens are pretty bad. Still found the round to be fun and the challenge was appropriate for a beginner golfer like me.
Disappointing
Course layout is fun, unfortunately, the course is by far the worst condition course I had ever played in my 40 years of playing golf.
Not for the week of heart
This is it difficult course to play, you must choose the correct tees for your ability. A lot of blind shots, a lot of shots over obstruction either bushes or water. It is however a fun course. The only problem with it right now are that the greens need a lot of work. The guys are out there doing the work trying to get it up to shape it might be a while but the price is perfect. If you're a below average golfer bring a lot of balls.
Not worth playing
The course wa in terrible shape from tee to green Not worth playing
