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
Goat ranch
By far is the worst condition we’ve played, tee box were not mowed and overgrown with weeds. Greens were bumpy and weeds.
Play elsewhere
Lather (tee-off), rinse, and repeat
Could be really nice if it was in great condition, but was told irrigation hasn’t worked for months. The course looks like it, especially on places, including a number of greens. That challenge is easily understood,, but over-priced for it’s current condition. The design is nice enough too, if it were for 6-9 holes, but when the strategy never changes for 18 holes… thus the title of this review. If you like hitting 160 - 200 yard shots, this is the course for you, because that will cover the majority of your shots, both off the tee and for approach shots. If you spray the ball all over the place, the rinse and repeat will take on a second dimension -!be sure to bring plenty of balls. It was cool to see a number of alligators, including one eating a fish it had just caught.
The course layout is great, the surroundings are beautiful. Unfortunately the fairway was very very dry
and the greens sometimes worn.
Neglected
We played last year and the course was in good shape. This year, the greens were in bad shape and the red tee boxes were not tee boxes and sometimes not even present. I’m not sure what happened over the last year but the course has taken a turn for the worse
Course in general
The starter was very friendly and informative as was the front shop. The course has a great layout but requires some work on the tee boxes. Some of the green’s were patchy but were being worked on, so who knows what they will be like with a bit of time. Overall we had a good time at a decent price.
Cheap but terrible conditions
This course is 5 minutes from my house so I play it during the week sometimes when I don’t have time to drive somewhere better. It’s also cheap which is great for mid week. The course is always in very poor shape but you get when you pay for I guess.
You should play elsewhere
I have played this course many times while visiting the area and have loved the layout. BUT this place is going down quickly. Poor, awful conditions, little maintenance or TLC given the course, evidenced by creeping grasses on the greens and mole cricket damage everywhere. Too bad, could be a real winner in the area.
Not going back. Too many other good choices in the region.
Course needs upgrade
Condition of the fairways, tee boxes and greens are poor. Needs attention.
TLC needed
Good value but the course needs some grounds keeping.
All good
Great layout!
Course needs some work, but price reflects the condition..
Would play again....
Not good value
Course needs lots of work greens around greens weeds fairways lacking grass and watering it would help. Tee boxes some gof courses use grass . Price charged represents riping off northern visitors. If course was in proper condition might haveconsidering looking in that area to purchase a home //
Course Needs Lots of Work
I decided to try the course after several years. My foursome was VERY disappointed in the condition of the course. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens are in terrible shape. It is not worth $30/round.
We're going back to Tatum Ridge. The price is lower and the course is in great shape. I apologized to my fellow players for recommending The Preserve Golf Club at Tara.
