The Preserve Golf Club

I had a 1205 tee time. When I got to the 1st tee, no starter, the cart was there but no person. At the 1st tee there was 8 carts full of golfers. A group of 24 seniors playing best ball.

I went back to the pro shop and asked what was going on . A dumbfounded look by the staff.

Went downhill from there.

Dog patch!!

STAY AWAY

I have played this course 60 to 70 times in the past. It was never great but acceptable at the price. It is now the worst course I've played in 60 years of golf.

They would have to pay me to play this course.again Greens terrible. Fairways barely playable. Very narrow and layup areas very narrow . Good place for a goat ranch as that is what it is

The Staff I found to be very friendly unfortunately for them ownership should just shut it down. The whole course is in terrible shape I am still having a hard time understanding how anyone could take such a great layout and totally ignore taking care of it. Only one green out of eighteen had grass the fairways are weeds The general manager and owners should be ashamed of themselves They can’t have a greens keeper because there is no grass to cut .

Greens are ruined. Birds, crickets and others have destroyed the greens. The upkeep of the entire course has made Tara Preserve a miserable experience. It is worth less than $20 to play.

My partner and I have played this course once a week for the last two years, and he has gotten worse. Every time we play that all of the greens were torn up by either moles, or birds, and it’s obvious that the greens were not taken care of to prevent bugs and moles, from being there this was an atrocity I’ve never seen Greene’s so bad I really wanted to ask for my money back but I knew I wouldn’t gonna get any so I thought I’d leave a very bad review and maybe someone will do something about it. We are a long time Sarasota residence since 1985 and have never seen a worse greens than what we played on Tuesday. please do something about the greens and make this course favorable again it used to be one of our favorite now we just hope we can get through around without falling through the holes in the greens

Greens are filled with holes, bunker like sand holes on greens, it’s obvious this course is not being taken care of and does not warrant returning to. Too many other courses in area that cost the same or less that are maintained.

Wife and I played there today. Tees to greens were the worst I’ve ever seen….and we play a lot of different courses. It seems they’ve totally given up maintaining anything. I would be totally embarrassed to bring anyone there. We will NEVER go back.

This golf course has the potential to be a great golf course. Burnt out greens with sand to replace the grass. The owners could spend alittle more energy to upgrade the gold course

Preserve course should not be considered a golf course its said to see that happy to a beatafui course they really should refund your money or comp you another round very disappointing day.Good to see you take this kind of intrest in your course.thak you Bill Swart.

Pace of play terrible. Course conditions terrible.

The owner should be ashamed to call this a golf course. It’s a pasture

There is lots of sand used to fill holes on the greens. The fairways are not much better.
