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.

Great track and continuing to improve!

Friendliest staff in Florida and a golf course that will put your game to a test. The layout is fun with lots of doglegs and opportunities to make choices New owners and making drastic improvements. It's a great round if you're willing to over look a few blemishes. If they keep up the good work it'll be one of the best around.

Potential

Course was okay at best. Played on vacation via golf now. $44 for 18 hole. Greens weren’t fast by any means but seemed to roll fairly true. Rough was terrible and had obviously not been cut in some time. Bunkers were mostly unplayable, tee boxes need a lot of work as well. If you aren’t looking for perfection, the course had some great views and a good layout. Clubhouse staff was extremely friendly!

Preserve

Course can be hit or miss but it is in good shape right now. No starter makes for a free-for-all on the first tee. Severe lack of drinking water on the course makes a hot day hotter

Much improved

Course in overall good shape, having greatly improved since last playing it 4yrs ago.

Some tee boxes are in need of leveling and reseeding.

Greens were in good shape considering the busy season has recently ended.

Good challenging course for the money.

Not much improvement

Called golf shop before booking tee time to find out when greens were last punched. I was told 4 weeks and greens were great. That was not true. Greens were bumpy and a few greens on the back nine you could not putt. You should chip on the greens. I have not played the course in a few years. I must say that the fairways were in better shape since the new owners took over but the greens got worse. This is a tough layout and if the greens could get better and a little TLC it would not be a bad track. Even though I paid $25 for the round I still felt like I was short changed.

Great layout, value and staff but many greens under repair

Great value, staff and layout.

Pace of play was fantastic, 3 of us played at 7:15 AM and we finished at 10:45 AM taking our time.

Many greens under repair with sand on them.

Tee boxes were beat up as well.

Sand traps were in good shape but no rakes???

Staff were friendly and helpful.

Would recommend but warn other golfers about course condition.
