Great short course, very well maintained

A challenging, well-designed, fun executive course. The staff is very friendly, the GPS in the carts makes it easy to figure out where you need to go and what club you need, and the greens, and course overall, are kept in great shape!

Beautiful

Greens are great.

Most area courses are dry and burnt out due to the lack of rain...The Groves is in great shape. Greens are Beautiful and are in great shape. Tees and Fairways are nice. 2 temporary tees on the front nine, but looks like the overseeded tee boxes on both of those are just about ready to open back up.

The staff here is tremendous, Nico is awesome every staff member has always been polite and super nice.

I've never had a bad experience here.

Always a go to course that you can count on being satisfied playing.

Best place for us to play

I moved here in 2002 and shortly afterward I had a chance play a round of golf and was immediately liked the course and all the associated functions including the staff and food service. The course for me was a moderate challange because of layout that entices you to take risk if you are feeling that your game is going well or you can play it safe. Two examples of this are the par 5 4th hole that gives you a big reward if you can hit a long ball across the dogleg and land in the fairway where you have only a wedge shot to the green to score a 3 or 4 stroke finish. The other one is the par 4 10th hole which measures 234 yards from the white tees and here again if you are hitting the ball well you could easily drive the green over the water. In all this course is a great place to play and does not disappoint anyone that I have ever talked to.

My home course

I found this course shortly after moving to the area. After visiting the driving range, I met some ladies that were all a part of the women's league that just finished their round. They were very friendly and welcoming and invited me to join their league, which I gladly accepted. I have only been paying once a week with them as well as some special tournaments. Even though I am not a very good player, I love to play and have made some great friendships there. I look forward to playing each week and hope to improve my game!
