Greens were a little fast

Everything was in good shape. The fairways were nice, rough was cut and kept trimmed, Traps were raked. Overall a good golfing experience. Since the course is shorter than most, got too use clubs that I generally would not. It was a welcomed change.

Q on The Grove

It’s a good course, makes you very aware of bad club choices. 9 & 18 are tough finishing holes.

Great fun at Groves!

A beautiful afternoon at Groves CC. It’s a short course, but quite challenging…. Especially with the wind gusting over 20. We loved it.

Great Short Course

Play here a couple of times a month. Course is always in great shape. Greens are exceptional. Lots of soft sand in bunkers. Course is about half the length of a standard par 72, but lots of trouble. You can't just bang driver on a lot of the par 4's. If you can keep the ball in play, you can score well even if you have a higher handicap
