A Somewhat Challenging Course!

My husband and I enjoyed the round. We found the back nine to be much more enjoyable than the front. The Bermuda grass seemed to be left quite deep. At times we had difficulty distinguishing where to hit to as there were no indicators. The GPS on the carts was helpful until the last hole when it just quit and we were uncertain of where to go next. The pro shop was closed when we arrived at the parking lot and we did not have access to the washroom facilities. However, it was Thanksgiving Day and the staff deserved to be home with their families. Access to the washrooms would have been helpful.

Groves - great Value

Course is nice, Condition is good. Greens are often very steep. If not below the hole you can very easily 3 putt or worse!

Dry year.

The course was in pretty good shape for being so dry the past few months. The greens were a little slow, but probably because of the dryness.

Short But Challenging!!

Always enjoy the 3 hour round at The Groves in the Meadows! It’s a short course but makes you think what club you should use over the hazards. Challenging course for sure but always enjoy playing there!
