The Groves Golf Course
About
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.

Groves Course is a Par 3 & Par 4 Course. Not worth $41.00.
Tight short case Par 65. In good condition fairways tee boxes etc.
A pleasant course for seniors and average players.
A scenic course that is hilly, with ample areas of vegetation and water. A bit shorter than some, making it especially fun for golfers that don't hit the longer drives. Most holes are par 4's, with one par 5 and a number of par 3's. Some narrow fairways and other layout challenges make it interesting to play.
Groves at Meadowlands Golf Club
This is a nicely maintained course with many challenging holes. The tight greens especially the Par 3’s leave little room for error.
Meadows/Grove
Not being a snob, but I’m use to a course that is , well better maintained.
For my group, a one and done.
Poor course
Simple review. Don’t waste your time or money. This place is a dump. Bad course condition. Terrible directions as to how find tee 1 and no driving range or putting green. Cheap rate but not cheap enough. Not sure how this place survives. Very few players in course.
Course needs repairs
Great course but it has some challengers in quality of grounds.
None
They should have told us the course had just been aerated
Very disappointed
Wanted to celebrate Christmas on a new course. Marshall’s were cranky. Greens On first 9 were basically mud. Asked ranger 3 times on front 9 if there was a beverage cart. Each times said they were in there way but didn’t see them until 9th green. Just super disappointed.
Walking the Groves
It was a beautiful day to play golf. Although this is short course it is still challenging. Very small greens which are great for practicing. One of the few courses in the area that will let you walk. Some of the greens on the back 9 are in need of work (need patching) and the course is working on them. Still worth playing and especially if you like to walk.
