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.

Course in great shape & challenging
The course is in great shape and challenging for the length. The staff was excellent and very friendly. I have never had a bad time playing there. looking forward to going back.
Good Value
Wanted to get in a quick 18. Not a long course but you need to think about your tee shots. Misplace a tee shot and you’ll bring a bogey or worse into play. Some tee boxes were a bit beat up but that happens. Fairways were good. Greens were slow but rolled true.
Hi, we appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing The Groves Golf and Country Club.
Shorter course but love to play it! U c a n have birdie chances but also enough water & bunkers to give u trouble!

Just terrific
My golf partner and I play different clubs all over central Florida, yet we keep coming back to The Groves because it's simply one of the best. The course is short, but challenging and always in excellent condition. The greens are nice size and roll out true. The staff is friendly and helpful, the carts and cart paths are in good shape and the surroundings are picturesque. A terrific place to play a fun round of golf.
Thank you for your review and rating! We will pass along your positive experience to our team at The Groves Golf and Country Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Fast greens
Awesome course, great place to work on your short to mid range game. Greens are super fast. Some drivable par 4’s. Will play again.

This was a great course for the money and also a great course to bring beginners. They were also very friendly and accommodating to have my 7 year old ride along as he is just learning and getting exposed to the game! Can’t wait to get out again!

1st timer
An enjoyable round to say the least. Will soon be a permanent resident in a nearby community and will definitely make plans to play here often. Only weird thing is the water driving range. First time I’ve ever experienced one.

Hit the Groves
The Groves is a nice shorter course. Go for the green or lay up... the choice is yours. It really is a fun course. For me I like to use irons off every tee. I don't feel the need for a driver or wood. You can if you want to bring them. I just like the iron practice. Recommended for all kinds of players.

Longest short course in Florida
I’ve been playing the Groves Golf & Country Club for over 16 years. Over this time I’ve seen this course and its staff go through many changes. All of these changes have made this course a pleasure to play for a number of reasons. With the continuous improvements to the fairways and greens make this course extremely playable. Not to exclude the fact that the course layout is very challenging for its length of about 4000 yards. Hence its known as the longest short course in Florida. What truly stands out at this course is its staff and pro shop manager. As often as I play this course I find the staff always friendly, courteous and accommodating to any needs you may have. To the pro shop manager and your staff thank you for always making me feel at home when I play “The Groves Golf & Country Club”
All the best to you and your “Groves” family.

The Groves is always fun to play. It’s a good course to work on your irons. The Grill is a nice place to cool off after the first 9. I enjoy every round I play here.
