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.

Challenging course

First time playing the course. Water on both sides of the fairways made the course challenging.

The Preserve

The fairways were dry will many bare patches making fairway shots difficult. The dry conditions made it impossible to have tee shots not roll into trouble.

It was a very frustrating round

Terrible Greens

The greens had fertilizer on 'em that looked and affected putts like ground up rock salt! It was impossible to putt; we all missed 3 or 4 "gimmies" and weren't happy! Otherwise a pretty hood track.

challenging course

The course has lots of potential. Played from black tees 6500 yards and found the landing areas fair. As you approached the greens the fairways narrowed so you need to be precise. Water was present seemingly on every hole and on both sides of the fairway. The course is not in great shape but it looks like they are attempting to bring it back to life. The staff was very friendly; starter Mike was very informative and the pro shop staff provided a hole by hole guide book that was quite helpful. I would recommend this course to mid to low handicap players that can get past the conditions and appreciate a great course layout. And watch out for the gators!

Horribly priced with horrible course conditions

I was actually shocked at how poorly this course is maintained, and how they have the nerve to charge $70 per person!

Disappointed!

Played a few years ago when conditions were fair but better than now. More clumps of weeds than grass on fairways. Tee boxes were uneven, dirt, and weeds. Greens were ok. Waited on every shot, with 3 groups on every par four. Had a fivesome 2 groups ahead and they were not playing ready golf. Twosome ahead of us had to wait on their approach shot because fivesome chose to shift golf bags from one cart to another without leaving the area. Won’t play here again.
