Neighborhood course. Great Gary Koch layout. Iron tester.
The Best Summer Golf Course
The Groves is a great course to play during the summer. It is inexpensive and not crowded during the summer. The course has a great layout and always in good condition.
Water
Put some water on the course
The greens are so dry they crunch when you walk on them. Finding grass to hit off on on the fairways is darn near impossible
What a great staff... they make you feel like family!

Unexpected pleasure
This was my first time playing this course, and I expected it to be like most other courses. It is so much more sophisticated than most. The carts have GPS that gives you distance to the pin and keeps you on the cart path on par three holes. I loved the course, even though there are quite a few hazards. Great experience.

played in 3 hours. Greens don't break like you think they would. GPS is nice to use.
Great Hidden Gem
My wife and I played The Grove today for the first time. The staff was terrific, the restaurant very nice, and the course was challenging for a 4,200-yard course. This is definitely a target golf course and you want to bring extra golf balls. We will be going back to The Grove! This is another great Gary Koch design. You meander through wetlands and will see alligators, sand cranes, and turtles.
Hello, thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future. Thank you for choosing The Groves Golf and Country Club.
