Surrounded by 200 acres of carefully preserved wetlands, the Groves Golf & Country Club offers championship golf in a spectacular setting.

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.

Great course!

Excellent greens and some challenging holes for a shorter course. Definitely a hidden gem. Chicken salad sandwich is an absolute must.

For a short course ( only about 4000 yds from the tips ) you need to keep the ball in the fairway on your tee shots.....narrow fairways and water and sand hazards will come into play if you stray your shots.....not an easy course.....actually quite challenging for a high handicapper.....always in fine condition....with fast perfect greens and nice manicured fairways.....but don't hit it in the rough as I lost a couple of balls just off the fairway.....looking forward to returning again someday soon......

corderoy

Nice course...fairways excellent...tee boxes very good...greens very slow and grooved like corderoy pants. I place a high rating on greens as there is very little margin for error on putts. was almost impossible to make a putt beyond 10 feet. Will play again for great practice on chips and short par 3's

Short but sweet

Course is short but plenty of challemges. If you place the ball well you can score well. Great course for the older golfer that has lost distance. You can still be putting for pars and birdies.

Fantastic Greens, but the rest needs work.

Fantastic short course and lots of challenges.

Par 66 should be more like par 60.

Greens were in great shape, sadly the tee boxes and fairways were very poor. Thankfully you don’t need to play from too many fairways. Carts are the best in the area. We will play again here.
