The Preserve at Verdae sprawls across a lush landscape of rolling hills and meadows covered with beautiful Carolina forests. Formerly known as Verdae Greens, the golf course was completely revamped but one of the primary goals of the renovation was to find harmony between golf and nature. The carefully reworked course does just that, blending seamlessly into its scenic surroundings. Rambling brooks wander across the layout and provide water hazards on a few holes. The wind is also a major factor on this golf course. The breezes can be either light and refreshing or strong and blustery, making proper club selection even more important. The most photographed hole on the golf course is the par-3 second. If you're lucky enough to come when the azaleas are blooming, this hole offers a breathtaking setting.

Only the front 9 is open.

An absolutely perfect day for some golf. The proshop gentleman was incredibly kind, but we didn't know we would have to play the front 9 twice due to damage from the hurricane last year. We were told 3 times by marshals to speed our play up, but we were constantly waiting to hit, so not our fault. Other than that, course is a great deal if you can find a hot deal!

The Preserve at Verdae

Course was decent, bunkers were filled with rocks and greens were pretty bumpy and had patches of bad areas . Probably won’t play here again.

Great course!

Always a really good course. Greens still roll well even during the winter! A lot of clean up going on due to Helene, but not in the way at all.

Steep price for limited off season experience

I have played this course 4 years ago which I also had a unpleasant experience. Given the damaged of the course from the hurricane in September I figured there would be some issues. However course is still in rough condition not counting damage from storm excluding the greens which were in good condition. At $85+12 booking fee makes the cliffs courses look like a steal . At peak season I could see $80+ assuming better conditions. I guess with one of the few public courses they can get away with the price. Although if you are looking for a challenging course this is the one in Greenville. Definitely has a great course layout to challenge the average or more pro golfers.

Poor communication between course and GolfNow

Booked on GolfNow. When I got to course it was closed. Cost me an hour drive to find that out. Definitely not a good look between GolfNow and The Club at Verdae.

No warning/alert 9 holes were closed

Whether GolfNow or the Preserve, there was no warning/alert that 9 holes were closed. Had to play back 9 twice. Would have selected another course if this had been known.

Five Hour Round

It’s a good deal as far as The Hot Deal. Course overall in good shape for it being Winter Conditions. Lots of bare spots edge of fairways & Greens were slow, estimate 8-10. Course is fun and very challenging. Too many holes are cart path only (full time) which slows pace significantly. Expect a plus 4 hour round and a 5 hour round when there is a frost delay.

Pretty Course, Nice and Varied Layout, We will go back

We enjoyed the round outside of the slow overall play (5 hour round). Layout is tight which slows down play. Particularly given late fall conditions were good aside from some Helene related washouts. Lots of doglegs and tight fairways requiring distance vs. accuracy tradeoffs
