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.

Over attentiveness to play

Very rude locals pushing their way through the course. Very rude staff criticizing ball retrieval in the woods. Looking for a ball for more than a minute is heavily criticized and enforced by the staff. And this is when the course was experiencing 30% or less play.

Fun course

Course was in great shape. Greens a tad slow but rolled smooth. Obviously it’s a shorter course but fun because it gives enough challenges of you want to play aggressive.

Fun Track

There were some rough spots on the course, but they were getting necessary attention and most of the course was in good condition for this time of year. Fun layout and an enjoyable round.

Decent course

The course is in decent shape for a public course. This is my go to course for a quick round. After 12 is usually good if you want to play by yourself

And Then

We enjoy playing there as it suits our age and abilities. However the front 9 was like playing in a swamp. The back nine was completely different and fine to play. They really need to improve the drainage on the front 9.
