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 for using all clubs rather than Driver on all holes except par 3's. Imaginative layout is challenging & course is in pristine condition.

Great Executive Course!

I've played at the groves many times over the past 15 years or so. It's a great course for an executive type of short course always well maintained and great friendly staff.

Groovy Groves

This course is so much fun and surrounded by nature. The greens are every golfers dream. The golf carts are modern and it’s always a fun time. Also make sure to hit the bar and restaurant and I highly recommend the short rib sandwich.

Really fun layout for a long hitter

The course and the staff were both great. I came to work on my long iron game and it was the perfect fit. Recommend clubbing down into the greens because not matter how high you hit the ball she’ll still roll. Both the clubhouse manager and bar tender were great chaps! Would 100% go back for a quick round!

This course is fun to play! Short but it takes some target golf to score well! For folks that don't have the length anymore you can still have birdie opportunities!

Great Course

Great course for all levels and for sharpening your iron game. It’s in great condition, and they’ve really taken care of the course over the last couple of years. GPS on the carts are nice, too. Staff is always friendly and it’s a good value for the price.

Wonderful short course

The Groves has become one of our regular and favorite courses in the Tampa Bay Area. It's always well maintained, nice sand in the bunkers, greens that roll out true and which are constantly being improved and a great staff.

The Groves is always in fine condition.....while not overly long, it can be difficult in spots if you spray your shots....thee is plenty of water and tight fairways ...the greens are fast and cut close....fairways nice and wide on most holes....the staff is always accommodating and willing to let us tee off early....it's always fun playing there....looking forward to returning again someday soon....
