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
Potential
I found this course very interesting. It was beautiful in some places, terribly bad in some areas, but I liked the course. It was difficult as a 1st timer but after playing it I wanted to start over and try it again. I struggled to rate the price to quality after playing a number of courses. I think this course has the most potential if they can get the rough areas refreshed.
Disappointing
We played this occasionally over the last few years, but each year go back in hopes that it couldn’t get worse. But, it has, the greens are AWFUL but the rest of the course has remained constant (3 stars) over all that time. It’s a shame to waste what is otherwise an interesting layout.
Hilarious
Where do I start
Have lived in Fla for 16 years
For the first 5 yrs this was my go to course
Yesterday was embarrassing
A 5 hour round playing on a cow pasture
I should hv known considering the condition of the practice green
The tee boxes haven’t been touched for years
Some of the fairways were decent
The greens were atrocious
Why was it packed?
Because it was the cheapest green fees in both counties
It’s been 2 years since I played there and will probably be 2 years before I return
Golf Course in Terrible Condition
The have let the course go. Terrible tee boxes, fairways, and greens. Do not waste your money.
Poor conditions
Several tees had little to no grass, fairways were sparse in areas, and many greens had ground under repair with heavy sand. One green had not been cut, was like putting on fairway. Hole 16 had no flag. Terrible conditions, not worth $50.
Course was in horrible condition
Course was in very bad shape. Made a last min decision to play there for $50 and I’ll never do it again. Tee box and putting greens were pretty much unplayable almost at every hole. There seems to be a huge amount of wild life that likes this course because there was holes around the putting greens and dirt mounds all over the greens. Staff was nice but honestly I feel like if you’re gonna open your course to the public you should at least do your rounds to ensure your course is playable so people aren’t wasting their money on a bad course.
Fast play
Course is in terrible shape, it look like a new subdivision will be built soon
It's seen much better days
The Preserve at Tara left vey much to be desired. The fairways and greens had next to no grass, the tee blocks were in terrible shape. It looks like no one is maintaining the course and my guess is that it'll be housing development sooner than later. The only plus was that the cost of the round was reasonable but that was probably due to the condition of the facility.
Terrible course
Course was in awful condition. We don’t know what happened to it. Wasn’t quite like that last year. Must have grounds employees problems or financial problems. Not worth any amount of money!
5/14 golf
The course is in very bad condition. I know they’re trying to repair it, but it looks to me as if one thing gets done to Facebook I really like this course. I wish it was better. I’m hoping that they will get to finding ways to get the weeds out of the greens
Course is in terrible condition
The worse! Do not book here
The Worse course ever, they haven’t maintained it in the last 12 months!
Never play Here!
Never Play Here. The worse upkeep ever or should I say “No upkeep” the greens were same and gofers holes! The only thing that was cut was half the fairways. Again we will never be back and you should never book here! Thanks for nothing……GM-TIM
