Surrounded by 200 acres of carefully preserved wetlands, the Groves Golf & Country Club offers championship golf in a spectacular setting.

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.

Very short course

I would not play this course again, but I’m not saying that it wouldn’t be right for some. It is an extremely short course and I think I hit driver twice.

The course is in ok shape.

I would recommend if you are very old or don’t hit a driver over 150

Excellent short course

This is an executive course in a lovely setting. The holes are interesting. There is great diversity. New players can play on short distance holes while more experienced players can still take out a driver occasionally. The greens can be challenging.

Great short course

This is a fun short course. The greatest challenge is number 18 with 2 dog legs and narrow fairway..The course was in good shape for winter play.

Played here 2 years ago, it was good then and better now.

Full price is a bit high, but GolfNow pricing help out(limited availability). Short executive type course, but has its challenges. Fun time! The food at the Grill was Great!

NEED NEW MANAGEMENT

I was minding my business in the shop waiting to pay and all I can say is that guy in the office in the shop was treating his employee like garbage in front of 4 other people. Found that very unprofessional and I won’t be coming back there due to that man’s actions it honestly seemed like he may of been under influence .i spoke to the employee outside and recommended he get a lawyer for harassment.
