Editor's Note: The course is temporarily closed.

Designed by Arthur Hills, the Groves Golf Course may be a "short" course but it's still a challenge. It's one of three courses operated by Meadows Country Club. With a layout that sprawls across more than 50 acres, the par-63 layout feels more like a championship par-72 course. The layout is comprised of nine par 4s, eight par 3s, and one par 5. The course rewards accuracy and good shot placement, meaning it's not strength that matters but being able to strategize. The seventh hole is a memorable par 3 that appears simple enough thanks to a massive and seemingly inviting green, but the problem isn't hitting the green but getting your shot on the same level as the pin. There is a 5-foot slope that runs through the green, the severity of which is matched only by some of the greens at Augusta National.

The Groves course isn’t even rated.

Too many other good golf courses in the area to play. It’s a executive course par 65.

Grove at the Meadows

My first impression initially was I am glad i only paid $30.

But i started to notice how unique this course is. I thought the fairways were lacking a bit. But the Greens, Oh the Greens were extremely well taken care of.

It is easy to lose a lot of balls on this course. If You like a challenge check this Course out!

Challenging fairways and greens!!

Short but challenging course that makes you think about what club or iron to use on every hole! Putting can be tricky too!

Overall Good Value

The course is in relatively good condition, except for some large bare spots in the fairways. The greens this year are much improved over the last few years, but still a challenge to stay on unless you have back spin on your ball!

Short tight course a bit torn up

This is an executive course...about half the distance of a regular course. Fun to play but our bigger hitters were frustrated as if you are just a tiny bit off it’s in a lake. One thing if you know where the lakes are but first time playing it and there is no map to know where the lakes pop up. Course was pretty torn up - tees are a mess and grass not in the best shape. Greens were nice however. I

Like the course. Good practice!

Like the course play was a little slow but still finished in less than 3 hours. Green are in great shape and putt true. Will return soon.
