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
Can be challenging if you can’t hit it straight
Lot of trouble with water and woods. Not difficult if you can keep it straight. Bring plenty balls.
Horrendous conditions
They need to maintain the course,
One decent green out of 17, tee box and fairways require maintenance
Maintain the course and we will return to play again
Preserve in POOR conditions
Course could be great but the conditions, with sand patches and VERY rough greens did not make for a very good course. Would not play it again.
Poor
Great weather for golf, met a nice couple from Michigan to play a 4some. The course was challenging but the conditions, and upkeep/maintenance of the course were sad.
All 4 of us had a good time but would not return to this course.
DESERVES A 2ND BAD REVIEW

PLEASE TAKE MY ADVISE SERIOUSLY....
Course layout nice fairways and greens were spotty
greens and tee boxes need a great deal of work
tee time was over 1/2 hour late as they had no
carts available and the course was vastly overabooked
Affordable but greens need SOS
Good price for AM golf for snowbird season but greens need a lot of tlc
Don’t go there
Went yesterday. I had a 1:31 tee time. There we no carts. People waiting since 12:30. Took 45 minutes past tee time to get get a cart. Course was like a bomb hit it. They used sand to patch holes all over each green. Like one foot by one foot or more. Could not even put. Left after nine which took almost 3 hours….
Wow, what happened here?
I used to play this course 15-20 years ago every trip to Sarasota we made. It was always in great shape. Greens, tees, fairways were always great. Well I finally played this again last year and was shocked how poor it had become. I chalked it up to bad weather and gave it another chance this past week. It actually got worse in the one year. The tee boxes are completely sand and dirt. No grass at all. The fairways are mostly dead grass. Hard pan. The greens have suffered from animal damage so every green has been filled in with sand to make them smooth. They are horrible. The bridges crossing the creeks and streams have deteriorated so bad it looks like they may fall into the water soon. The wood needs complete replacing. It pains me to write this as this used to be such a gorgeous course. Hopefully this gets sold to someone who wants to put the money into it and bring it back to glory.
