Beautiful shape

The preserve is in beautiful shape! Greens are pure, fairways are pure, and course conditions couldn’t have been better! Was a great day out there.

Great track. Pretty surprising to be a semi private rather than a private facility. Challenging but fair. Beautiful houses surrounding the course. Think we’ve found a real gem.

A top value in the triangle

Course is in great condition aside fro. Bunkers in disrepair - but easy enough to keep them out of play.

Tough course, but fun to play

Got to play The Preserve for the first time in a few years. Got paired up with three locals and had a good time. The course is in good shape, although a few tee boxes were wanting for grass. Greens were good and putted well . The only negative would be the bunkers, that felt like hitting off of concrete., but it was a very hot day . Be prepared to bring plenty water to drink because you won’t find any on the course.

Good course

The layout of the course was good. There were a couple barren spots around some of the greens. The sands traps were inconsistent. Some traps were soft and some were firm. Other than that the course was in good shape and is a challenging course.

Decent Track

$55 for play on memorial day is not bad at all. Overall, the layout of the course is great and the course is challenging. Fairways and greens were in great shape but teeboxes were bad and bunkers were miserable (we played them all as grounds under repair).

Overall, I will play this course again but I dont think I would be paying more than $55 for its current condition.
