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.

Course rules
Golf now should post The course rules if you have to have your golf cart back at 7 PM when they’re allowing people to order 18 holes at 5 PM
Groves
Really nice job getting and keeping this course in good shape. It is still a challenge despite being shorter. 19th hole and drink cart!
AAAAA++++++
Hello, thanks so much for taking the time to write a review and rate us 5-stars. We're so glad that you enjoyed your round at The Groves Golf and Country Club. Please visit us again soon!
Great for the price, course teaches you disciple
Loved playing this course. It’s “the longest short course in Florida” with a few reachable par 4s, which is really fun but can potentially bottleneck players that want to go for the green vs lay up. I had a great experience and loved how I was able to teach myself to aim for yardage spots instead of just hitting it as hard as possible. Great course and super friendly staff. Good food and beer at halfway house. Thx!

Best value for the money
Outstanding golf course, Had a blast playing our round. Course conditions rival those of the top tier courses. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Greens were pristine apps were fairways. Definitely going again! Definitely recommend.

Best course north of Tampa
Wife and I came to Hudson for golf and fishing and The Grove is the most fun we’ve played. Awesome terrain with incredible wild life (gators!) and really cool bridges through conservation land between holes.
We are fairly novice golfers and this course was challenging but not brutal, very playable. Highly recommend for any of the country club courses north of Tampa.

Worth it
The greens were recently aerated so putting was a little tougher but in a week or two they will be really nice.
A shorter course but has plenty of water woods and sand. Fun course to play.
Thank you for your review. We will pass along your positive experience and feedback to our team at The Groves Golf and Country Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Groves
Great course , great staff . Would recommend it to anyone
Your feedback is important to us. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing The Groves Golf and Country Club.
Challenging Short Course
A nice layout with varying challenges. Requires good club selection due to pin placements .and a shorter than normal course. Fair share of water, narrow fairways on many holes. Certainly not a bombers course, rather one that requires strategy and finesse. Lots of fun, would have been more fun if I played smarter!
Hi, thank you so much for the 5-star rating and great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing The Groves Golf and Country Club.
The Groves
Great course to play when you haven’t played golf in years.
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing The Groves Golf and Country Club.
Greens
Would have given an Excellent on course conditions but some of the Greens were not back to normal after the Excellent work they have done on the course.
I am sure in a week or two they will be back to Excellent.
Love this course
Your feedback is important to us. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing The Groves Golf and Country Club.
Great short course.
Great to work on iron play. I don't take my driver out of the bag.

Aerification
Overall the course was great they are aerating the course right now the fairways are fine but the greens are a little bumpy had the ball bounce off line a couple of times but the rates are discounted for it
Thank you for your 5-star rating and review! 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.
What a great course!
They truly care about the course...actual fairways..nice greens and an absolutely awesome staff.. super value for the money as well..
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, u073427487! We look forward to seeing you again soon at The Groves Golf and Country Club.
Great little track
This little course runs you up through your entire bag and challenges the driver, long woods, long irons, mid and short irons. The greens are always great and the bunkers are strategically placed. A great course to work on your game and see how low you can go. Many challenges give you high risk and high reward or you can play placement golf. Great track to practice shotmaking on.
Hello, thank you for visiting us at The Groves Golf and Country Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Quality Golf
Excellent course especially for Seniors. Being 82 years of age & having played most of those years, I appreciate quality designs. The course & greens are in immaculate condition, as are the sand traps.
At par 66 & 4019 Blue Tees, layout challenges all aspects of your game. It is not a power player course rather an excellent course management challenge for Senior or higher handicap players, allowing them to have fun.
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing The Groves Golf and Country Club.
review
The Groves while short ( 4000 yds from the tips ) is still a challenge to the average golfer. The course itself is always in great condition, nice firm, fast greens, well manicured fairways and not too much water and sand to catch an errand shot. It's always a good test, especially with the shorter clubs.....However, some holes, like #4 and #18, both very short par 5's, require precise shots to reach the greens in regulation. The staff is always friendly and accommodating.....looking forward to returning again some day soon.
