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.

Fun challenging course
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Nice course layout.
Plenty of challenges.
Watch out for the alligators. Lots of wildlife to see.
Sandhill cranes, other birds, turtles alligators large and small.
Really nice course but...
The course itself was somewhat challenging but in really nice shape throughout. I actually shot my lowest ever score! The only thing that made me a bit nervous was seeing all the gators, several of them out so be CAREFUL folks!!! maybe that why I shot my lowest? LOL

Great Greens and Bunkers
Have played this course several times in the past month. The greens were perfect on the 20th. Also the bunkers had a lot of soft sand. Having played many other courses locally, this is a pleasant surprise as at most courses the lack of sand makes bunker play a real challenge. While the course is short from the back tees, the way the holes are laid out gives you plenty of opportunity to get in trouble
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing The Groves Golf and Country Club.
Best 1st time experience
Took my younger siblings to play 18 holes for the first time and the experience waa great. While we were off to a rocky start, the staff helped us with everything necessary. We had a blast throughout, the members were friendly and we saw a couple gators. The ranger, Butch, checked in on us time to time which I thought was thoughtful. I was in the mindset of trying out various courses near us but I think we found our home first go round. Thanks guys for the amazing service

Pass on this course
They were extremely rude. The course was in disrepair. They had 18 closed. Said we could replay hole 9. When we arrived at hole 9 they had an employee posted telling us we couldn’t play it again. Basically told us go away. The course has declined since our last round. We will not play there again.
We sincerely apologize for the negative experience you had at our golf course. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and we will take your feedback into consideration to improve our services in the future. Thank you.
A true gem in the heat of Land o Lakes
Excellent course, play it at least once a week. This is a course that is always improving the experience for the golfers. From new golf carts to consistent capital improvements, this is a course that is very well maintained. Absolutely love it!
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at The Groves Golf and Country Club.
Very nice for a short course.
Was hesitant to play here because it is a short course 4,000 yards.. However it was laid out very nicely, greens in great shape. Overall course conditions, excellent. All the small details shows this course is maintained well.. Even though it is a short course,, it should greatly improve your game as there are many tricky holes, (after you have played it several times) Will be back to play again, took us 2 1/2 hours to play 18 holes.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at The Groves Golf and Country Club.

NO WAY
This place was great for a long time, but in the last few months it has become basically a waste of time & money to play. I hope they get it lined out because the staff is great & the layout is decent. I'll try again in a few months.
We apologize for the recent decline in your experience at our golf course. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration to make improvements. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future. Thank you for your review.
Good for people that are not good.
This is a nice course to play at. It has some very easy holes, and it has some more challenging holes. You can really build your confidence back up on the easier holes after just destroying it on the hole before.
Thanks so much for the review and feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing The Groves Golf and Country Club.

Course maintenance
They are currently laying new sod, so several of the holes are way shorter than intended. The staff is alway friendly and courteous.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the new sod installation. We appreciate your kind words about our staff.
