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
Great round
This was the first time playing the course or playing any course in Florida. We are from Monterey Ca and are used to playing the courses there so this was a pleasant surprise. My wife and I were surprised by the friendly professional treatment we received from of all the staff. It was my first time experiencing hitting range balls into water, floating golf balls very cool. The course was in very good condition, and every hole the different wildlife seen on the course was astounding to my wife and I. loved the course and we will absolutely return for another round.
Never play here! Again
I am fighting with the course manager Tim to get a full refund! Please do not book a Tee time or play here! They are trying to sell the land to a developer so they are only cutting the fairway. It is the worse course I have ever played. What a joke!
Close the course
All 18 greens were in horrible condition—large sand patches you have to putt through. The layout is nice but the conditions are so bad.
4/09 golf
My golf partner and I have been playing the preserve for two years and we have found it deteriorate from the greens to the fairway getting worse and worse something needs to be done but I understand it’s hard to get that done
Don't be fooled by the price
My tee time was at noon on a Sunday, upon arrival there were very few cars in the parking lot which was my first clue something was wrong. The golf cart worked well and had good pick up, since no one was playing on a beautiful day pace of play was outstanding. Most holes you couldn't identify the fairway from the rough. The greens had sand spots all over them, so it made it hard to put. At one point the sprinklers were on watering for hours an area that is out of bounds. There is potential for this course but it needs much work. Probably won't be back.
Always disappointed
The staff can not care less and it shows. This course is in consistently bad shape. Use to be a fun course to play but management has run it into the ground. Don’t let the cheap price fool you.
Needs help
Great layout.
Course keeps getting worse. Hardly any maintenance.
Tee boxes are a mess.
Green have sand filling damage.
Could be a great course
Conditions somewhat reflected in price.
Crappiest course I have ever played in Florida
Fairways in horrible condition. Greens had some
Sort of brownish red grass spots, impeding even
A two foot put. I would and can only suggest GolfNow take this course off of their list immediately. I cannot believe all four of us had to pay $49 each to play this course.
Greens keeper
It’s a great layout but could be greatly improved by allowing the fairways to grow about a quarter inch more and over seed . Also the tee boxes . Spend a little money and it could be great and they could charge 10 to 15 bucks more a round . So TLCwoupd do big things here
Greens keeper
It would be a great impression if they spent a little money and overseeded and watered more. Let the fairways grow a quarter inch longer and let some grass grow on the tees.
It’s a good track it just need some TLC.
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.
