The Preserve Golf Club at Tara lives up to its name, serving as a home for abundant wildlife including eagles and ospreys. The natural wetlands were carefully kept in tact and incorporated into several holes. Ancient oaks and towering pines border the tight fairways, requiring some accuracy off the tees. The golf course starts out gently but becomes progressively more challenging on the back nine. The opening hole is seemingly intimidating with a forced carry past a creek but taking advantage of the generous landing area will set you up with a short approach to the receptive green. In addition to the golf courses, the Preserve offers a unique aqua driving range with island greens that really allow you to hone your distance club selection skills. There is also a chipping area and a large putting green.
