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.

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
