Top Notch Course!

I moved back to FL a year ago and discovered this little jewel in the rough. It's not a long course, but it makes up for it in some holes that make you think through your shots carefully. Wetlands, ponds and hole shaping can mess you up quickly if you don't. Course staff has always been great from the pro shop to the rangers. And the course is very well maintained. Highly recommend this course to anyone! A++

Ladies League

I moved to Land O Lakes, Fl in November 2022 and found this course near our home. I was looking for a women's league to play in, and I got invited to play in this league by a current member. I was welcomed by everyone and made to feel comfortable playing with the ladies, in spite of my poor golf performance on the course. I am not an experienced golfer and get frustrated easily, so I am happy that this is a short course, which is typically easier for someone like me. I hope to get better with the encouragement of the wonderful ladies I get to play with!

Great for the Average Golfer

Smaller 18 hole course that makes up for size with hooks, nook, and cranny’s sound every corner. Challenging enough for the amateur but still potential for the average Joe to put in a few good shots.

Challenging short course for seasoned golfers

It's probably the best layout short course in the Tampa Bay area. The greens were very nice. The bunkers were all raked and plush. My only complaint is the tee boxes a lot of divots, some weren't mowed. Not sure why they neglect it. I'm a 10 handicap and played with a new golfer and we had a blast. Challenging for me and fun for him. Will definitely be back though.

Perfect Florida course

After this being the second time playing I was still in awe of this course. I was smiling from the first tee to the 18th & all the way driving home. Have already booked another tee time since I’m still numb from playing a course like this. The Groves should be proud of all they do since it shows in every aspect of the golf course. Thank you for the opportunity to play there.
