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.

Pretty

Course is kept in good condition. Wish seven springs was half as good. Distance between holes is a little weird if you’ve never played before.

Fun layout for short game

The Groves is a good course to tune up your short game. Most of the greens are reachable with one or two shots depending on how good your distance is.

It isn't easy because many of the holes have narrow fairways and greens with short length. Its very easy to hit too long on pitches.

I enjoy playing here because it isn't as crowded as some of the other courses closer to Tampa or Pinellas County.

Nice Practice Layout, Just Slow

The course is a fine short layout. Several interesting holes. Great place to work on iron play. In the past I've played it in under 3 hours. This round took over 4 1/2 hrs with groups stacked on most tees. Need to space out groups

Perfect Little Executive Course! I would recommend.

My wife, brother and a friend of mine played this course Saturday the 26th and the course was in real good shape. This course is short only 4K from the blue tees but it can be challenging and is a lot of fun. The pace of play here is usually very good even when the course if crowed. My wife and I can get a round in here is 2 hours and 15 minutes most days.

Course closed

When we arrived the course in heavy rain there was no one on the course and no one about so we assume that the course had been closed due to the weather. Am I entitled to a refund of the fees paid? Look forward to you coming back to me Roger Dickinson

Biggest small course

Many greens were reachable in 2. It's bigger than a par 3 course and fun. Beautiful setting.
