The pace of play is terrible

This is my second time playing at the groves and each time I’ve done out it turns into a parking lot jam with all of the golfers waiting at the tees to hit. We ended up having to jump 2 holes just to get out of that traffic jam of golfers. This 20 minute gap between golfers is a terrible thing. My son and I would like to play a course where. We don’t have 4 carts waiting at a hole to tee off. Just makes the outing worthless. The groves is overcrowded and the pace of play is slower than molasses going up hill in the winter time.

We won’t be back ever again.

Golf course

The house is in great shape for the kind of weather we are having. The greens are super fast, but in very nice shape. I had one of the restaurants hot dogs. It was one of the best hot dogs i have ever had. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great value for the money.
