I booked a tee time at The Preserve in advance through golf now. Because it was a" hot deal" I had to pay in advance. After paying online I began to read some reviews (here and on other sites). I was worried-most people had reviewed the course as being beat up, with very poor greens and fairways, and generally not worth the time to play it. I was pleasantly surprised by the beauty and layout of this golf course. Some tee boxes were a little beat up,and some fairways had weeds sprouting up. Overall I thought this was an excellent course (especially for $12 with a cart in the afternoon!) The layout is challenging with some blind shots and some forced lay ups. Lots of dog legs and lots of water to carry are common features. I will definitely be playing here again. When friends from up north come to visit, this is one of the first courses I will be taking them to play. I shot an 84 and only lost a couple of balls, a good day by any account!

Date Played: 3/24/15 Overall Course Rating: very poor (reason - course condition), fairways and greens are in the need of much TLC My Round: 2 strokes over my USGA handicap (lost two balls to water)....played with two nice guys from Connecticut. This course is a nice layout and has tees for all levels of play, however it is a rip off at the prices they charge based on their website description. Typical FL public golf, PLAYER BEWARE. My home course in Jacksonville, FL (public) is in much much better condition and charges half the price. I dont care what I pay for golf but please please dont rip me off. If the course is in poor codition please dont tell me its in good condition. Our course manager would fire the course superintendent.

I suppose you get what you pay for. First of all the staff was very friendly and everything involving them went smoothly. The layout of the course is very intriguing. There are some very good golf holes even though the par 5s are a bit disappointing (3 of 4 are not driver holes and basically call for 3 shots). The fairways arent great but are very playable if you choose to roll the ball a bit. The greens were in decent shape however I found them to be rather slow. This is a fun track and could be turned into quite a gem with some maintenance, but for the rates they charge its well worth it.

Booked in advance through GolfNow, pro shop worker refused to give me the price that I was told and the manager was not there to talk to about this. We were told that we were to pay $40 each, which is way too much for this swamp. Due to the confusion, I was then made late for my tee time, for which I was sneered upon by the starter. No respect for their customers who are young (24 & 20) without their dads. I will not be going back to the Preserve. I will find another course thats not so snobby.

Played this course 021217 for the very first time. Very impressed! Top Notch all the way from the course to the clubhouse, etc.. Every hole was a new visual treat for the eyes, you do not see other holes while you are playing yours, fairways, greens in excellent shape, very challenging but playable. I paid about $50 during season - i would pay about $75 to play this course and not be upset about the price. Seriously, this course is great.

This course is gem among public courses. Green is smooth and fast, running at about 11 when i played in early Feb. The course is also challenging in other aspects. - Its very long from the tips - 7,000 yards - Its got two long par-3s - Fairways are narrow on a few holes, and landing spot can be blind - Lots of water in play I love it! Also price is unbeatable for late morning and afternoon.

Man, what happened to this course? We used to play it all the time; a nice little gem, but its gone to heck! Dont expect to find much actual grass out there, its too bad.

Steven Beck

Played here many times. Probably in the best shape ever. Its one of those courses you have to play several times until you know how to play each hole... every hole. Fun!

i love playing the Preserve at Tara after work for a quick 9 holes. its a great challenging course that everyone can play. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.

We have waited a couple of years for a turnaround here and it has finally happened. Greens were PGA standard. Once course dries out, it will be one of the best around.

This course is in great shape. All of the staff from the cart guys when you arrive to the bartender when you leave are extremely friendly people. I love this place.

David Maloney

Decent course. Inexpensive. Recently improved greens and fairways. Not too crowded. It is a good value, but narrow. Pretty views.

Not a bad place to play for the money. Course is beat up and greens are rough. Hopefully the course will bounce back quicky.

Richard Liscinsky

Great layout; greens okay tee boxes and fairways need more care. Good value for a challenging course.

Chris Zummo

Very tight course, quite challenging, greens were rough, balls didnt roll true.. good course overall

Great valve for money but the course does need some attention. Play can be slow at times.
