This Course Is Always Perfect !!!!!!!
I have played this course many, many times. It is always perfect. When there is something that needs attention they fix it. It is only a par 67 but still challenging. Tee boxes, fairways and greens are always in great shape. I compliment the management and wish every course in my area was maintained so well. Thank You !!!!!!!
The Groves Challenge
My favorite course in Florida. Short but very challenging. My wife really loves this course. Can’t wait to come back.
Great gem of a course....
GREAT course, fairways and greens were in great shape! Pro shop staff and ranger were super nice. Weather was great. Course is NOT long, I played from tips a little over 4000, BUT I only hit driver 175 tops, so it was and is a great shorter course. Planning on putting this in my monthly rotation!
Beautiful Day of Golf
We had a great day today. Staff in Pro Shop and the Ranger were all very nice. We will definitely come play again!
review
The Groves is always in excellent condition and fun to play....it's pretty short ( only 4000 yds ) from the tips, but you can still end up in trouble with an occasional stray shot.....the greens are smooth and fast, fairways nice and wide and cut close.....the rough is not too high, but the woods come into play on several shots if you are not a straight hitter.
Groves Country Club
We have played the Groves a number of times. We appreciate the clubhouse staff as always friendly, along with the course ranger. Other golfers are friendly and patient with each other.
Although an Executive style golf course, it can be challenging in that you need to hit good (or perfect) shots on many of the holes to maintain a low score.
Great short course
This course is great to play, they are in the process of getting the T boxes , fairways and greens up to better conditions after the curfew treatment.
My wife and I played this past Saturday and it was much better than a couple weeks ago. The carts are getting to the point of serious servicing.
The staff is always fantastic in thee we pro shop ! The 19th hole or restaurant has changed hands and needs to step it up to be as good as previous.
Still this course is a favorite and has some great challenges such as the 4th hole, par 5. handicap 1. You can eagle this hole as I have but you need to be on your game.
Highly recommend checking this course out
NOT Friendly for New players
Twice we have been on the course, each time the ranger pressuring us to pick up pace at 3 in afternoon. Stated its 10 minutes per hole even for group of 4. IMPOSSIBLE. Group behind were just as slow and waited 30 minutes after told to hurry up for group behind to pass. This is an open to the public course, we chose afternoon time because we are slow with two new players. It is borderline harassing players as some people are beginning the game and don't play often. The ranger was also argumentative even though we knew to let others play through as we are slow. But we all pay our fee so others can just wait. Not everyone is as good others.
Awesome Layout
This course is not long but very challenging. My favorite course to play in Florida.
Golfing in Paradise
If you like being out in nature and playing a nice golf course, the Groves is the course for you. Played mid day September 29th. The weather was great, course was great and good pace of play. I will return soon.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes.
Thank you for visiting and we hope you'll give us another try in the future.
