Great Value Great Course

I have played all over the Tampa Bay Area and I can say with confidence that the groves is the best course of all of them. Not only is the course always in good shape, the price is the lowest compared to other course around. I love the Aqua range. It’s pretty cool to be able to drive balls and watch them splash in the water. I will definitely recommend this course to anyone.

Great Short Course

A short par 66 but a challenging layout and lots of water. They keep this course in very good condition from tee to green. If you hit your driver 275+ many of the par 4s will be reachable in 1, but mess up and you'll pay the price! Don't try to walk the course - several holes are 200 yards or more from green to next tee.

Ranger Harassment

Was putting on 1st green when Ranger Josh started barking that cart has to be 30 ft from greens. I am not new to golf and know the rule. It just happens that I was straddling the cart path that goes around the the green and two tires were touching the fringe of the green. What a way to ruin a golf round. My wife also thought he was out of line yelling like that.

They've removed the GPS from the carts so use your discretion.

What I'd like know is that the cart path that circles the green is part of the 30 ft.

Fun track

Shorter course but with its challenges. A risk/reward course. Stay in the fairway as rough is a bit deep. Which on a short course is fair. Grenns rolled smooth but weren’t as fast as the looked. Average speed I’d say. Great value.
