Great short course

Always enjoy playing here. Good way to practice clubs I don’t use on a longer course. Tee boxes and greens are in good shape as are the fairways. The staff is friendly.

Challenging short course.

Very nice clean course. Need precise golf shots. Don't believe its an easy par 3. It isn't. It will challenge you on every hole. We'll worth the price. Will play it again for sure.

The course was in great condition

Perfect condition. The greens were in phenomenal shape. I did loose a lot of balls, a few dog legs and some hard blind spots. Hole 18 is a summagun. It’s a short course but very fun to play

Plush greens and uniform fairways

For a par 66 course with eight par threes The Groves still requires great shots due to the lengths of the majority of the par threes. The two right dogleg par fives are both unique and require strategy and accuracy also. The par fours are mostly straightforward with number 12 being an eagle opportunity. Well keep grass through out and a continuous cart path with on course restrooms are always in great shape. There is also a very nice practice putting green and driving range. Overall a great place!

We love The Groves! We find that it's an easy course to navigate, the staff are all friendly and the course layout is great. We love to take our son there who is learning how to play the game. I also like the flexibility of being able to just play 9 holes and only get charged for 9.

Always great

The Groves is one of my 2 main courses and is always in great shape for a local semi-private course, especially for the great price.

It’s a bit shorter so it takes the driver out of your hands and makes you work your mid/long irons as well as woods off the tee. Having water and woods on every hole forces you to be much more accurate and to play smarter golf also.

The new restaurant staff has a great new place and good atmosphere for post round relaxing.

First time leaving a review on GolfNow, but this course deserves more love! Greens were in fantastic condition. It’s a short course, but provides some challenges along with a ton of great birdie opportunities. Staff was great, will be back soon!

Great course for the money

Greens are in really good shape lots of work being done to improve fairways and around the greens. Bring your A game with your irons as you won't need a driver on more than 4 holes. Fun course to play.

My Favorite Iron Course

Not overly long at approx 4000 yards, but conditions are always solid on and around the greens as well as the tee boxes. I usually only hit driver on 1 and 16. The shortness of the course, tight layout, and angled right doglegs make it a fun course to practice your iron play. Staff is usually great and pace of play usually 3 hours.

Good day @ the Groves

This was a fun day the course is in really good shape some of the fairways are patchy but not all bad. The greens are great and have average speed. We played with a great gentleman named Larry and had a great time telling stories about life and golf. The pace of play was excellent we never saw hardly anybody all day. Be warned this course is short but VERY difficult you have to place the ball in certain spots or you cannot reach the green. It has short yardage but a super hard golf course. Of course, there are a lot of par 3's and a couple of funky holes. I enjoyed it I can recommend it . Very nice staff as well 5 stars from me!

One Issue

This is always a great course to play. My only issue is that I always get paired with strangers. I want to play with just the person/people I come with, and playing with strangers adds an element of stress. Just my opinion!!

Love this course

One of my favorite courses in the area. I play here about 2-3 times per month. It is a bit of a shorter course but I love it. Pace of play is good, staff is super friendly, club house is cool, greens are always in pretty good shape, and the course is perfect.
