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 staff great layout - well maintained

Although you won’t break out your driver that much this course is challenging and fun. If you don’t have 4-5 hours to golf you can play all 18 in under 4 hours. Price is extremely reasonable for the condition of the course which is well maintained. If you’re just learning or an experienced golfer this course is well worth your time.

The Groves is always a fun course to play...while not overly long ( only about 4000 yds from the tips ) it can be a bit challenging for a high handicapper as there is plenty of water hazards and tight fairways to negotiate. The greens were nice and fast ...fairways mowed close.....in short, the course was in great condition....looking forward to returning again someday soon....

Decent Executive Course

In decent shape Some tee boxes need work. Short par 4 and 5. As a visitor who didn’t trust airlines with clubs I decided to rent clubs. Not a good idea. Brutal rentals. Old top flite clubs.

New favorite course

We had a group of four this time, and every person had nothing but great things to say about this course. This was my second visit and I can’t wait to go again.

The greens are beautiful, the course is well maintained, and the price is extremely reasonable. Saturday and Sunday are a little busy and can require a little more patience, but because it’s a smaller course everything moves at a good pace.
