The Groves Golf and Country Club
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.

Great Course!
I've been able to play this course a handful of times and I really enjoy it. I've played at different times throughout the year and the course is always in good shape, and I love the layout. It gives you the opportunity (and challenge) to really play tight, technically-planned shots. The folks in the clubhouse are always friendly too. I do love the water driving range for warming up too. All in all, it's a nice, fun course, and a great value.
Great course
Don't let the shortness of the course fool you. Plenty of trouble all around. Love the amenities and staff.
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing The Groves Golf and Country Club.
Just started golfing
Just started golfing a month maybe a month and a half ago and this is the first course I went to. I’ve been here about 6/7 times in the last month alone. I tried another course but immediately wanted to go back to the grove. The staff is super friendly, they course is beautiful, they don’t give you a hard time if you’re a little late for your tee time. And there course is never packed out usually come across 1/2 other groups in my 18 hole play throughs. All the players I’ve come across have been friendly as well. I absolutely love this course. Definitely gave me the ideal experience being a first time golfer going to a course!! 10/10
Thanks so much for the great review and 5-star rating! We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing The Groves Golf and Country Club.

It may be short, but it has enough hazards OB to make it interesting. Everybody that I golf with here has enjoyed the course!
