Great Greens!

The Greens are the tremendous.

A couple of fairways are growing back in but other than that, there is nothing to complain about.

The staff is always accommodating and very nice. This place has it all figured out.

Got to get the seniors moving!

Always love the conditions here. However my last time out I was a single and there was a group of seniors that had no clue as to what ready golf is. They drove their carts wherever they wanted need a ranger to keep pace up

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!

Always a great staff. Greens are best in Pasco. Could use a bit more drinking water on course. A beer cart wouldn’t hurt either
