The Groves Golf and Country Club
About
Surrounded by 200 acres of carefully preserved wetlands, the Groves Golf & Country Club offers championship golf in a spectacular setting. It sits conveniently just 20 minutes north of Tampa in Land O Lakes. Maintaining the natural beauty of the landscape was a top priority when designing the golf course, which is why the layout manages to seamlessly blend into the surroundings. The course, which measures 4,026 yards, offers all of the challenging qualities of a championship-length course but can be played in four hours or less. The player-friendly golf course offers something for all skill levels whether you are a scratch golfer looking for a quick round, or a beginner looking for some challenging practice. In addition to the course, The Groves also boasts a unique aqua driving range as well as putting and chipping greens.

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.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing The Groves Golf and Country Club.

Groves
Really like playing this course - short but challenging
Hello, thank you for visiting us at The Groves Golf and Country Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and feedback. We hope you join us for another round soon.
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!

Great Short Course
This is one of the best short courses in the Lutz/Land O Lakes area. Great tee boxes, fairways, and greens kept very clean. Overall, a great community to golf in.

The groves golf course
I was not expecting as much water holes and lost at least three balls. They had closed the front nine for fixing up the course. But the value to play with cart included was a steal. They only charged 20.00 with a cart..

Back nine twice
The front nine was closed so the back nine twice was the answer. Love this course. Didn’t do any better playing the same holes a second time but the opportunity to play a different club on a second try was fun. Will be back when all 18 are ready

Great short course kept in great condition
This is a fun, challenging course for a short/executive course. The greens and fairways were kept in very good condition. Depending on the time of day, you can get through the course fairly quickly, however, it is in a retirement community, so, if you go when it’s busy, you could be stuck behind many older foursomes that tend to play slow and can add considerable wait times.
Hello, thanks so much for your review and feedback. We hope to see you again soon!
I love this course!
This is one of the best public courses in the Tampa Bay area! Yesterday, the fairways were in fairly bad condition compared to how they usually are. The greens looked great, though.
