Jerry has been active in golf course design for more than twenty years. His experience as a competitor at the highest levels of the game gives Jerry a unique insight into the qualities that make a golf course challenging and enjoyable. Pate's knowledge of environmental, construction and maintenance issues, has not only established his reputation for designing quality courses, proved valuable to The Preserve Golf Club, which is adjacent to an eighteen hundred acre nature preserve. Evident at The Preserve is Pate's belief that a golf course should enhance the natural aesthetic of the land and provide flexibility of shot values.
Mossy, majestic live oaks reach out over the course and tall, slender long leaf pines line the generous fairways. Wild, wiry grasses disperse texture and color against the smooth, rolling greens. The uniquely Southern cypress swamps, marshy wetlands and pitcher plant bogs scatter the area, adding diversity to the landscape and challenge to the game.
Suitably situated in these pristine Southern surroundings, overlooking the lake and eighteenth hole, is the 8,500-square-foot clubhouse, designed in the classic low country style. Vaulted ceilings, an abundance of windows and a large covered patio provide excellent vantage points for viewing the competition. Hardwood floors and chandeliers add hints of southern charm and sophistication. And, plush furnishing and a large indoor/outdoor stone fireplace provide comfort while sipping cocktails or enjoying a bite to eat from Sweetbay Restaurant. Multiple large, flat screen, high definition televisions are placed throughout the clubhouse for the viewing of news, sporting events and weather.
