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.

Nice short course

For a par 66 this plays longer. Fairways are narrow so this is a great course to practice your short game. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a challenge.

Restaurant was under remodeling so I cannot comment on that however in the past is was just fine.

I also want to include this course very much needs your help to maintain the course so we can all enjoy a great round of golf. Please repair any damage on the greens and in the fairway. I was sad to see many ball marks on the greens no one cared to fix. Let’s all do our part. The last round I played I slowed play because some one forgot to do their part. Thanks

Awesome

I was amazed by how friendly and accommodating everyone was. The golf carts were amazing, the course was gorgeous. I felt as if i was in the most expensive course. The day was perfect! My friend and I was asked if we minded if a single player could join us, it was nice that we were asked and introduced. My friend and I plan to go back again this week. You have the option to play 9 or 18 holes, no extra cost for the luxury golf carts, and they are exceptional. This course is a gem in Pasco County and I am so thankful to have been introduced to it.

All pisitive

Starting with check in all staff was friendly, courteous and helpful.

Greens were in great condition. Fairways had grass instead of big dirt patches..

Short course, but not a easy course.

Golf carts were almost new. Very comfortable seats

Short course but fun. The conditions were excellent. This is a great place for all skill levels. The hot deal price was as good as it gets. It has just a couple of goofy holes, other than that it was perfect

The Groves, while less than 4000 yds from the tips, is no pushover......I usually loose several balls as the fairways can be a bit tight in some areas......the highlight of my round was making par on the two par 5's which is very rare for me......my advice......bring plenty of balls and leave the driver in the bag......

Golf etiquette

Pace of play was slow due to golfers not familiar with or don’t care about other golfers. It took me 3 hours to play 9 holes.

Staff is friendly and provides good customer service.

Practice area is great shape and a nice driving range.

Great short course

Everyone at the club was so friendly from start to finish. Great short course on a post-rain cool day - not terribly busy so the pace was good and we were able to start early. Very nicely taken care of despite bad weather the days before.
