Played on our drive to Florida from Texas. Got a decent amount of rain, but this place is great. Layout is super fun, tee boxes and greens are in perfect shape and green were great. We are already trying to find an excuse to come back and play.

The Preserve Golf Club is our favorite course on the Gulf Coast. It is always in pristine shape. The Staff is always friendly from the time you arrive. Kudos to Chris Champagne and Stephen Miles as well.

What a fantastic track! The customer service is great as is the practice facility. The beautiful layout hides much of the danger that abounds with tons of water and wooded areas to donate any balls you’re looking to rid yourself of. The greens were among the fastest I’ve played at a public course which really complimented the overall design and experience. Highly recommended!
