Rating 73.0

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.

Rode Hard and Put Away Wet

Course in terrible condition. Tee boxes trashed. Greens bumpy and some with DIVOTS!! Fairways just fair, rough is basically weeds. Course layout is one redeeming factor. Challenging shot maker type. Staff also nice. But even with that do not recommend even at the afternoon rate of $40.

Sorry condition.do not go

Tee boxes were void of any grass except crab grass. One Teebox, #17 , actually resembled a tee box. The fairways and rough were dry and in may cases without grass

The greens in good shape though

The course could be a good one but conditions and pace of play were absolutely horrendous. Almost five hours.

Staff in Proshop very friendly as was Debbie in the restaurant after our round

Unfortunately, came to play and enjoy golf and conditions were so poor could not ever justify going back.

Self service

The caddiemaster gave us good directions. Other than that, we did not meet any course staff, not at the start and not at the end. Not that there were any problems. Unfortunately, there was a pair of centenarians in front of us (7 min interval). They let us play through at the 7th. The course layout favors other than driver from the tee.

It is a challenge.

Accuracy is helpful on most holes and not trying to play beyond your ability will lead you to score better on this course. The rough is just that "rough" not much chance to play out of it. Great overall challenge no matter what Tees you play. Pricing has gotten very high though and is prohibitive to playing there often.
