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
Awful, ownership should be ashamed
First, the good. Starter was friendly, clubhouse is nice but empty, good layout, and perfect location. Now the bad, really really bad. I've played a ton of places and the conditions were by far the worst I've ever seen. The owner and surrounding communities should be furious. There's basically no cart path, just overgrown dirt. Fairways would be the rough at most courses. Sand traps would be a stretch to say sand, black dirt with tons of debris. Greens are unplayable, I would probably guess they haven't been aerated, sanded, or given any general care in years. This course has the bones to be a gem in the area, but should be closed with police tape at the entrance for the crime the owner has committed. Sorry, just being honest!
Tara (ble)
I have NEVER seen greens in such pathetic condition. Very few golfers on a beautiful day should be a message to the owners to fix the course or plow it under for a housing development.
The owner should be ashamed
You wonder why this course is charging $17 bucks because it’s worse than a cow pasture.
I’ve played it over the last few years and it continues to disappoint.
The owner is obviously not interested in improving the property so why not just sell it to a group that actually gives a #%~>% !
Drives me nuts when I see a track that has a wonderful layout neglected to the point of no return.
Pathetic and shameful are 2 words that come to mind when I think of this ownership group.
Don’t waste your hard earned $!!!
I got charged after I paid on golfnow. Mistake was made in the office Was told it will be refunded. 2 weeks later. No refund as yet
Still waiting on my credit
Good course for the money
Excellent layout and owner is trying to put more money into the course. I long way to go but it plays well
Terrible Shape!
I’ve played the preserve many times but this is by far the worst shape I’ve ever seen. the course. It’s not even worth $24 that they charged.
They need to maintain the course
The layout is one of the most challenging courses. I’ve played but they need to do maintenance to this course. The greens need a lot of help and they need to trim a lot of the trees. The fairways were in decent condition.
FUN Practice course. Staff went above and beyond!
Great day on a quiet golf course. The gentleman that worked at the course was super helpful. Highly recommended
Some Greens need help
Still fun course to play I'll will go back, there are some new greens hope they keep going
You get what you pay for! SOS!
Course is good for playing early and cheap but not for serious golfers! Needs serious repair on greens
Worst ever
We figured out why there was hardly anyone else in the course. The greens were the worst I’ve ever seen. The grass was the same as the fairways. It was just cut shorter. You couldn’t roll a putt. The ball would hop and skip around.
Preserve at tara
This had to be one of the worst golf courses I have ever played in my life. The greens were absolutely atrocious the fairways were atrocious. I played this course about 4 years ago and it was great. As stated it was an awful day I brought two other people with me bragging about how great the course was. Till we get there oh my God this shouldn't even be playing it should be closed down.
