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.
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.

Excellent short course
The course is always in excellent condition. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Always enjoy playing there and then grabbing lunch inside. One of top short courses in Florida.

Course Management
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!
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at The Groves Golf and Country Club.
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!
Thank you for your review. We will pass along your experience and feedback to our team at The Groves Golf and Country Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Always fun
The Groves is a consistently fun, short course that's always in good condition with greens that role true, bunkers with actual sand and a great staff.
Thank you for your review! We will pass along your 5-star experience to our team at The Groves Golf and Country Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Solid Executive Course
Very solid Executive Course is a nice very well kept layout. Everything is right in front of you. Fairways and greens were in great shape. Greens were slow but rolled smoothly. Will definitely play again. Everything about my first round was your a great round of golf.
Thank you for taking the time to review and rate us 5-stars. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. The Groves Golf and Country Club thanks you!
