I appreciate your comment and desire to understand more. I had a great long weekend in Greenville visiting my daughter who has moved to the area. I played three courses on that trip. The Preserve at Verdae was a last minute decision to go out again with my sons based on a recommendation of a friend of mine who has really hyped your course. He plays every time is visiting your area. As I rated the course, you have a tremendous and somewhat challenging layout. By reputation, I was looking forward to playing it. However, I was less than impressed. It was nearly a five hour round waiting at every hole with no player assistant in site to speed things up. The other two courses we played that weekend had seen the same amount of rain as your course a week prior to our visit. They were in great condition and their greens were pure. Your course was wet (and very wet in some areas). Moreover, some of the areas smelled more of sewer than just a wet course. Your course was beat up, unrepaired ball marks on the green (many seemed older like you hadn’t rolled the greens), unrepaired divots in the fairways seemed to always find my balls, bare spots in the fairways, and some that seemed to miss the mower. My friend kept telling me that you were like a small TPC Deere Run. Perhaps it was just expectations with all of the hype from my friend, but it did not live up to the hype.
