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
Fun course. Lots of water. Friendly staff. Alligators were also friendly. Course conditions were sub par, but looks like they are improving. Greens looked bad, but fast and true. I would play it again
Bad condition
The tee boxes and greens were in bad shape. Fairways weren’t great either
A good course gone bad
This used to be a decent course. Yesterday was the first time playing this course this year and things really changed for the bad. I don't know what happened, but lots of the tees and greens are just dead grass. Hopefully they can fix what is wrong because the course layout is very good. As it is now, I will have to wait for next year before I return.
Disappointing
Just play the front 9, it’s okay for the money. But the back needs lots of work, very disappointing after deciding the front wasn’t so bad.
Preserve
Nothing was good about this course. Tees, fairways and greens were in bad condition. Not a lot of sand in some traps, no rakes for traps, no ball washers anyplace on the course. It's not that the course wintered badly it had to be going downhill for some time.
I suggest going to another course.!
Spend some time and money on the course please
We love the layout and natural beauty of this course but won’t be back for the rest of the season as the course, particularly the greens as well as some of the tee boxes, is in rough shape.
Course needs a little tic
Course needs a little talc. Greens were okay but had bald spots. But for the price and time I would play again.
Nice track, very watery
Had a great time. As a mid capper playing for first time, I dunked 12 balls in the water. I also hadn't played in months. Good thing I had a ball scooper.
Fun track, good value.
Great condition
Well this course is in great shape and challenging for a average golfer. Bring extra water balls unless you hit consistently straight, narrow fairways with water all around.
Had a great time and lost a lot of balls.
Staff was great.
Very poor shape
Greens & tee boxes in poor shape. Very tight course with a lot of water. Bring plenty of balls in you are new to course. Trying to figure out lay up yardage is difficult.
Disappointed
Course conditions were lacking. Several tees, fairways and greens were in rough shape. It took over five hours to play. On one par four there were seven groups on the hole. A group on the green, a group on the fairway and five groups on the tee.
For a Club with such a nice clubhouse it deserves much, much better course conditions.
The consences of our group is that we will not playing here again unless course conditions improve.
Awful day on the golf course.
First of all, the pace of play was awful. On one hole we had to wait a half hour. The rest of the day was very slow having to wait 10 minutes for every shot. Next, the condition of the course was horrible. Patchy greens, burnt out fairways, scattered tee boxes and hard sand in the traps. The layout of the holes were very difficult; most holes wind around water with thin fairways. I’m a pretty good golfer (12 handicap) but I found some holes impossible. So all in all, a terrible day out and I will never play this course again. I write this to encourage change.
