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
Just don’t go! Less than Zero for full price
First time playing there, traveled 30 miles all 4 of us. The staff was friendly in the club house (they told us the course was ****!) we got off 40 minutes early because no one was booked. They we found out why. There is No upkeep or any maintenance on the whole course. All the Tee boxes and Greens were left to die! And they were all dead! * no rakes in sand traps, no ball washer, no trash cans, no cart girl, I say the pace was a 5 because no one was booked in front or behind us. I would also give the course layout a 5, But everything and I mean everything else was “ LESS THAN ZERO” but they charged us full price! + $55 dollars. The owner should be ashamed ! The greens were dug up by animals and moles, almost no grass, had rag weed and bacteria, pits. But, But……..wait for it……They Had Brand New Black and Yellow checkered Flags on the Greens….Wow
What a joke give us back our Money!
Just don’t go or book here! We will never book here again! Now that I see I could of taken pictures I would of. I also see now after reading reviews that I should of read them first. I hope this helps everyone from booking here and having a terrible experience like us!
It should be a crime!
More Weed than Snoop Dog
Please stay away. Little grass to be found anywhere on the course including the Greens. Should be closed for resodding immediately
Embarrassing
Anyone who has anything to do with the course should be embarrassed. Maybe I could understand the tee boxes being bald, maybe one or two greens unplayable. All tee boxes, all greens unacceptable, the real rub was the untrimmes overgrowth around and behind the greens. Worst maintained I have ever played. Take care of it or close it.
Horroble
Worst kept course I've played in Florida. Greens horrible. T boxes horrible. Weeds on greens. Holes on greens. Piles of sand on greens. T boxes same. No irrigation on fairways.
Great layout could be really nice. Needs alot of TLC. Snack bar bar and bar close at 5.
This course was pretty nice
I like this course some greens were a little sandy and definitely alot of water on this course. I lost quite a few balls but still had a great time and will be back.
A good design allowed to go to waste
I’ve played here in the past. The course has always been, in my opinion, a well designed and laid out track. Although it was never in great condition, the layout and price point, made it a worthwhile course to play. However, the owners at this point have let it go completely. Borders on the unplayable, with chunks taken out of the greens, tee boxes with nothing but sand and uneven surfaces, bare fairways.
Save your money and aggravation level. Look for another venue
Foul ball
Rates were okay and course has a nice layout.
Tee boxes and green were in terrible shape.
Course could be improved quickly, but was a foul ball this round
Poor upkeep
I’ve played this course quite a few times over the years. It has definitely gone down hill. Bridges are in a a bad state of disrepair. No beverages carts. T boxes look like they haven’t been touched in years. Greens are just as bad. Had spots all over filled in with sand. Felt like you’re putting thru mini sand traps. This course isn’t worth the money they are charging. It’s only a $20 course if that. I won’t be going back.
Terrible Course
Course seemed like it hasn’t been maintained in several months. Lumpy tee boxes, poorly kept greens and dirt cart path. Tried to order food, but bar wasn’t open. Tried to get some beers and no one wanted to assist us. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone.
It's seen better days. Extremely poor condition
It's a crime to even charge people to play this course. Staff is awesome but the course is a different story. From tee boxes, fairways, and greens; course is in terrible condition. Sucks because of what it used to be years ago to how it is now. Community really needs to take over this course to change it back if still retrievable
Tuesday golf
We have been playing the preserve for almost a year now, and I am sad to say that the greens are still in terrible shape. We have seen six sand left on the greens with no grass being put in and no weeds being taken out this makes it very difficult to play a fair game of golf. I realize there have been difficulties hiring people and getting them to work, but it seems to me the price should be less while the greens are repaired I would say that the fair. Ways are in excellent condition. At this point in time I hope is the management will be able to rectify the greens which are in terrible Repair.
Horrible condition
Tee boxes were almost unplayable, no grass, full of weeds, uneven sand, difficult to get a stance. Greens were full of sand repairs everywhere.
needs work
This course needs lots of work to get it back to what it was.
Horrible
I played this course a number of years ago,enjoyed the layout and conditions.
NOW it is barely a golf course. Tee blocks are uneven and have no grass. The greens are full of weeds and basically unputtable.
I spoke to guy who said he was owner, said hurricane, lack of rain and they lost 2 pumps.
A stone throw away the Tara Golf and Country is in great shape....I will be surprised if this course makes it through the winter.
Poor condition
Not sure if it's weather related, but condition of greens & tee box were not good
