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
Horrible, PGA pro should be embarrassed to have her name attached to this
Crap course. Worst I’ve played. It should be shut down.
NEEDS HELP
We were disappointed in the general conditions---especially the greens. Didn't actually see a truly cuttable green until #14. Fairways were only---well---FAIR.
Great layout, terrible condition
The other reviews are accurate. Beautiful property that has gone way downhill. Looks like no maintenance at all. I've played here many times, and still go occasionally only because it's cheap and will be quiet. Turf is a mess on greens and tees.
Beautiful Course, Wonderful Staff
From the fellow in the Pro Shop to the two fantastic starters we encountered, these folks were great. The Pro Shop gave us a lot of orientation tips while the starters went the extra mile to help us avoid the league that was starting. As a result, we played in 3 hours, 20 mins. My sincere appreciation.
Might have been
This course might have been a top course at one time but the maintenance of this course is limited. Heavy weeds and bare spots fairways and greens.
No rakes for sand traps, amenities are few.
Layout has become more challenging because of this lack of maintenance,
Horrilbe---- should have our money refunded.
The course is in horrible condition. I am vacationing and involved with multiple golf courses at home. If these were the conditions at home the courses would be closed.
We did not see one Grounds maintenance employee at all.
The greens were terribly tore up. They weren't attended to that morning and maybe not all that weekend.
The worse part is that no one takes responsibility for this at all.
The owner/owners are blatantly negligent .
The layout is terrific and if money was appropriately spent it could be a gem.We should be refunded for what we paid. There is no truth published anywhere of the condition of this golf course.
I also feel bad for the golf shop staff and the starters because they receive the complaints from the upset
customers.
How many holes are on the green
The course layout was fun but the condition of the course was very poor. On the 8th green there was actually a racoon digging multiple holes , approximately 6" round, at several locations on the green. There was little to no grass in the tee boxes and the fairways were not much better. Most greens had hoiles dug in them by some sort of critter. Just all around poor maintenance, this course needs to be shut down and rebuilt.
STAY AWAY
I've played many a course in my days, but this one is the worst. Nearly all the greens had holes, dirt mounds and many weed patches on them (see pics). During our round we did not see one Maintenace worker cutting grass, trimming, etc and that is likely why the greens and some tees (with 2-4" grass height) are in such bad shape. The layout is great and presents a challenge, but the course condition is atrocious!
Great course but needs work
Very challenging course design with many water hazards, doglegs and fairway growth barriers. Course needs trimming around edges of lakes, fairway and growth hazards too tall.
Staff are very friendly and helpful and seem committed to improving course.
Disappointed
The staff were friendly. The course in rough condition. The birds dug holes in the greens replaced with sand. It is a nice layout but has been neglected.
Was excited to Play
Unfortunately while this course has a Great layout the condition of the tee boxes and fairways need a lot of attention. When it comes to the Greens they were the worst I've played this winter. Seems they're trying to make them right, but still have a long way to go.
Course is in dire need of professional maintenance. Very rough condition. One positive note…the cart paths are very smooth compared to others in the area.
Probably never again!
What a waste of layout! Sad patches all over the greens, hardly any grass in fairways. What a mess.
