Oh my God…

The Groves has always been a personal favorite for me and my entire family!!! Amazing staff, conditions, and great prices. NOT any more! I can play nicer regulation golf courses for the same price or just a couple bucks more. The greens fees here have become nothing short of astronomical and all while course conditions have deteriorated. Bumpy slow greens, dead tee boxes, and astronomical prices have soured me on any kind of return. I know its a great track with great staff and used to have great conditions, but for north of $40 its absolutely nuts!!! I live 7 minutes away and after my last two rounds will NOT return until prices come back down to earth. I must not be alone in my thinking either as during my last two rounds, course was deserted.

Not worth astronomical green fee

This is a par 66 course that is charging $59 for green fees. The course has been in terrible shape since the storms and little is being done to remedy it. This one of my favorite courses in the area but the price and conditions right now are just disappointing. Seem a round elsewhere.

Sharpen your approach and short game

The course is in great shape. I love playing here because it is great practice for my approach, short game, and putting. The holes shape and hazards are challenging often requiring precise shots. Perfect for my game training.

Breath of fresh air

Playing the groves is like breathing in nature while trying to kill a ball as far as possible. Once you relax & enjoy the surroundings & stop trying to kill the ball the course falls right into place. You still lose a crap full of balls but you’re having fun doing it. Every aspect of this course was in great shape. This place is a gem

Everything was great except for 2 idiots in front

This course is always perfect except when it rains. Played here many times and always enjoy it. Staff is super. As usual we got 2 idiots in front of us hitting off of the back tees and could not hit the ball more than 10 feet. Oh well that is a public course.
