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.

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
