The following is a Q&A with Stephen Miles, Director of Operations, at The Preserve Golf Club.
What sperates your course from the others in the area? The Preserve Golf Club is Jerry Pate design and an amenity of The Palace Casino and Resort in Biloxi, Ms. We are designated as a Certified Silver Audubon International Signature Sanctuary located within 1,800 acres of pristine natural long leaf pine savannah managed by The Nature Conservancy. The course is a beautiful design that blends in perfectly with the natural setting and ownership spares no expense to provide a high standard of course conditioning and customer service. Our goal is to provide a unique golfing experience that will leave our customers with a desire to return again year after year.
What is the signature hole? Really every hole is unique and memorable but 16 is probably our most photographed hole due the beautiful color contrast provided by our native grasses surrounding the hole. Bunkers creep up out of savannah to the left that help frame the hole and the green has 3 tiers with the back being 6 ft lower than the upper 2 which provides for a variety of shot options and hole placements.
What is your favorite hole, why and how should one play it to card a par? Hole 14 is a fun challenging par 5. A lake guards the hole down the right side and the green is an island in the middle of the savannah that is completely surrounded by beautiful native grasses. You can see for miles across the savannah from the tee and generally there is a strong wind in your face so the hole plays like a links style course. Just a beautiful hole with great risk vs reward options
