About
The Preserve at Verdae sprawls across a lush landscape of rolling hills and meadows covered with beautiful Carolina forests. Formerly known as Verdae Greens, the golf course was completely revamped but one of the primary goals of the renovation was to find harmony between golf and nature. The carefully reworked course does just that, blending seamlessly into its scenic surroundings. Rambling brooks wander across the layout and provide water hazards on a few holes. The wind is also a major factor on this golf course. The breezes can be either light and refreshing or strong and blustery, making proper club selection even more important. The most photographed hole on the golf course is the par-3 second. If you're lucky enough to come when the azaleas are blooming, this hole offers a breathtaking setting.

Beautiful but tough finishing hope. Photo submitted by u000001682547 on 10/03/2013
Great golf course but SSSLLLOOOWWW play!
This is an excellent golf course, with a very challenging lay out and the fairways and greens are in great shape. Off the fairway, not so much. If you choose to play durrng the week in the morning, do not get behind the senior groups that tee off 8:30 - 9:40am. If you do, you are looking at 5+ hour round. Club house staff are SUPER friendly as are most of starters. There are no rangers to manage pace of play.
Hello, Whamo414. Thank you for visiting us at The Preserve at Verdae. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.

well kept
One of the best courses i have played in the area. Pace was a little slower than i like, but enjoyed everything about the course.

Need a ranger
Tight layout, greens are in very good shape. Too many layups/quirky holes. Pace of play is terrible. Haven't played here in over a year and now I remember why, every time the same problem. Tee off time was 820am 4hours into to the round and we skipped the 2 groups on 14. No one left on the course ahead of them, never saw a ranger. These 2 groups had the whole course backed up
We appreciate your feedback regarding the layout of the course and the quality of our greens. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the pace of play during your recent visit. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Play if you have all day
And only if you have all day. Took 2.5 hours to make the turn on a late morning, mid-week tee time. Went to the pro shop to give feedback, only to be met with “wish we had the manpower to enforce pace of play” as two staff were in there seemingly doing nothing.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for the delay you experienced during your tee time. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration to improve our service.

The preserve is the best
This is the best course the public can play in the upstate and having played most of the private ones it would still be my first choice. Every hole is an experience and you can make it as tough as you want depending on the tees you choose. Obviously I love this course and they always remember my name . ... and even after you get to the green some of the toughest tests are still ahead! If you have never played it don't miss out.
u499830021, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing The Preserve at Verdae.

Embarrassed
I have played this course before and was happy. Took a customer from out of town to play and was immediately disappointed. We knew the greens had just been punched and were prepared for that, but the tee boxes, fairways, fringes were just awful. Will never play here again.

Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, alkimbrough123! We look forward to seeing you again soon at The Preserve at Verdae.
Great place for a round!
This course is solid. The conditioning is great and the layout is challenging and has a lot of variation. The greens were moderately fast which is good for Bermuda this time of year. The ranger approached us at one point and asked us to keep pace...The guy was clearly not doing his job as there was not a group in front of us within site and most of all no one behind us. Outside of the lazy ranger it was a great experience and i would come back. The green on #9 is a three tier monster...its something from a classic Stranz design! Great upstate track and value.
Thanks so much for the great review, 0TTK441DFzLMjvSzDYGw. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing The Preserve at Verdae.
