Great short course

We like this shorter course with the exception of 18. Tricky double dog leg with narrow fairway. Large gator on the fairway was a surprise but he didn't interfere with the pace of play. Greens are consistent and in good shape.

Love at First Site

The Groves has to be the best non-Par 72 18-holer I've ever played. The course was in immaculate shape all the way around and had some true golf beauty to it. Workers from the pro shop to the rangers were extremely nice. Guy in the pro shop let my father in law borrow a driver and putter for the round without charging us. This course was perfect for my beginner fiance. She usually hates golf with a passion, especially long courses, but this course gave us the ability to play 18 while keeping her engaged, because the holes were short enough that she could actually play. On top of that, I left my GPS out there and Nico was kind enough to get that in the mail to me same day as I came down from Chicago. Couldn't have asked for a better day with family and got to see some awesome wildlife in the process. Highly recommend.

Nice course with a lot of Par 3’s

Great for work on your irons. Length of the course is perfect. Just don’t go when they are fertilizing it smells.

Grove course

Overall the course is in good shape. Some spots than are a little wet and a couple too dry. A couple tee boxes need some work. It’s always a pleasant place to play.

Great short course

Bring a good iron game and you will score well. Only hit driver on 2 holes. Fairways were in great shape considering it hasn't rained in weeks. Greens were fast and smooth. The food at the 19th was reasonably priced and portions were huge. Plan to play there often.
