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.

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.
Fun Course!
Love the Groves! I've taken many a visiting guest for a round of golf there and we've always had a great time.

Really nice course but...
The course itself was somewhat challenging but in really nice shape throughout. I actually shot my lowest ever score! The only thing that made me a bit nervous was seeing all the gators, several of them out so be CAREFUL folks!!! maybe that why I shot my lowest? LOL

Best 1st time experience
Took my younger siblings to play 18 holes for the first time and the experience waa great. While we were off to a rocky start, the staff helped us with everything necessary. We had a blast throughout, the members were friendly and we saw a couple gators. The ranger, Butch, checked in on us time to time which I thought was thoughtful. I was in the mindset of trying out various courses near us but I think we found our home first go round. Thanks guys for the amazing service

Great Greens and Bunkers
Have played this course several times in the past month. The greens were perfect on the 20th. Also the bunkers had a lot of soft sand. Having played many other courses locally, this is a pleasant surprise as at most courses the lack of sand makes bunker play a real challenge. While the course is short from the back tees, the way the holes are laid out gives you plenty of opportunity to get in trouble

A true gem in the heat of Land o Lakes
Excellent course, play it at least once a week. This is a course that is always improving the experience for the golfers. From new golf carts to consistent capital improvements, this is a course that is very well maintained. Absolutely love it!
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at The Groves Golf and Country Club.
Pass on this course
They were extremely rude. The course was in disrepair. They had 18 closed. Said we could replay hole 9. When we arrived at hole 9 they had an employee posted telling us we couldn’t play it again. Basically told us go away. The course has declined since our last round. We will not play there again.
We sincerely apologize for the negative experience you had at our golf course. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and we will take your feedback into consideration to improve our services in the future. Thank you.

Very nice for a short course.
Was hesitant to play here because it is a short course 4,000 yards.. However it was laid out very nicely, greens in great shape. Overall course conditions, excellent. All the small details shows this course is maintained well.. Even though it is a short course,, it should greatly improve your game as there are many tricky holes, (after you have played it several times) Will be back to play again, took us 2 1/2 hours to play 18 holes.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at The Groves Golf and Country Club.

Beautiful course
I play this course at least twice a week and each time the greens, tea boxes, fairways are always in great shape. The staff is phenomenal. They know you by name which makes for a wonderful experience. This is always my go to course.
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.
