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.

The Preserve at Tara
The golf course was in horrible condition. I don't believe I have ever played a golf course that was in worse condition. While the layout was interesting, the course condition made it difficult to enjoy. The fact that it cost $179.00 to play made it worse. One of our golfers couldn't make it so I actually paid an extra round. This won't make me not use Golf Now in the future it will make me think twice before I book a course I haven't played.
My second favorite course in the area but.....)
The abundance of cool, cloudy weather and over abundance of rain has rendered the course almost unplayable. Even the staff apologized on the condition. The layout is very challenging until you become used to the demanding shot placement is what makes it one of my favorites. Please keep playing it so they will have the funds to make the necessary repairs.
Charged my credit card more than once
Staff was rude and angry. I am still working out credit card issues please avoid this course. Apparently my round of golf was over 500 dollars on my cc.
Get this course in better shape
Avoid course for at least a year awful condition just dreadful and is not in sync with GolfNow . Layout of course is great so was pace of play.
Owner does not care about course conditions
Worse course conditions I seen since I been coming to Florida to play golf.
Disappointing Course
This used to be my groups go-to spot,l. It was close by and a great layout, even a good staff. But now this course is downright disrespectful to be called a golf course. PLEASE SOMEBODY STEP UP AND MAKE THIS COURSE GREAT AGAIN!!! Id be embarrassed to be the owner here, get it right or pass the baton!!! DO SOMETHING!
Greens were very rough
A few greens looked like they weren’t mowed in a couple of days… simple maintenance things that were clearly overlooked. Lazy grounds staff.
Beautiful Kandscaoe....
but the course is very badly maintained - it's a great pity!
Fast round. Lousy. Conditions
Greens were horrible. Tee boxes are bad. Fairways are marginal.
If only the condition was better
Very good layout. Need to make shots, not distance. Layout allows for a average golfer to play well if you hit the shot.
The condition was very bad. Greens on some holes unplayable to put.
This course could be a true gem if it was in even adequate condition. Tee boxes a mess.
Overall for the money , I would play it again.but could use some care.
Why Have They Stopped Caring?
Once, this course was a favourite; however, this Fall and Winter, it is in very poor shape. The tee boxes and greens are just plain old sad looking and using.
While there are plenty of snowbirds to have a one and done usage and survive, I can’t understand why they wouldn’t make an effort to take care of what was a lovely course. Hope they change their strategy or develop it.
Disappointed...!
The course is not even the worth the fee we paid ($35)! The condition of this course is just not acceptable. The Tee boxes were worse than bad and the green not quiet better. One green don't even had a flag stick (see picture). It's embarrassing, to leave a golf course in such a crappy condition.
The only positive point is the Clubhouse, it is very nice and the Restaurant too.
Nevertheless, I do not recommend this course at all! It's not worth to get there!
