Nice short course
For a par 66 this plays longer. Fairways are narrow so this is a great course to practice your short game. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a challenge.
Restaurant was under remodeling so I cannot comment on that however in the past is was just fine.
Beautiful Course
My husband and I love playing Golf at the Grove. It's a beautiful course and just the right length for the two of us to enjoy. Carts are is great shape, greens and fairways are in great shape. Good locations of restrooms, and refreshments. They give you a free drink at the bar when you finish your round. We love it, can't wait to play again soon.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing The Groves Golf and Country Club.
Great for all levels.
Great shape greens in good condition. Sands are the best! Wish all courses had those kind of sand!
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing The Groves Golf and Country Club.
Awesome value
Short course but fun. The conditions were excellent. This is a great place for all skill levels. The hot deal price was as good as it gets. It has just a couple of goofy holes, other than that it was perfect
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. The Groves Golf and Country Club thanks you!
review
The Groves, while less than 4000 yds from the tips, is no pushover......I usually loose several balls as the fairways can be a bit tight in some areas......the highlight of my round was making par on the two par 5's which is very rare for me......my advice......bring plenty of balls and leave the driver in the bag......
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.
Golf etiquette
Pace of play was slow due to golfers not familiar with or don’t care about other golfers. It took me 3 hours to play 9 holes.
Staff is friendly and provides good customer service.
Practice area is great shape and a nice driving range.

The Great Escape
Since finding the Groves I seem to be booking a found a week there. It’s like an oasis from the day to day homelife. I look forward to the next opportunity I have to play there again. Place is impeccable. Truly a dream course.

Great short course
Everyone at the club was so friendly from start to finish. Great short course on a post-rain cool day - not terribly busy so the pace was good and we were able to start early. Very nicely taken care of despite bad weather the days before.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at The Groves Golf and Country Club.
Ladies League
I moved to Land O Lakes, Fl in November 2022 and found this course near our home. I was looking for a women's league to play in, and I got invited to play in this league by a current member. I was welcomed by everyone and made to feel comfortable playing with the ladies, in spite of my poor golf performance on the course. I am not an experienced golfer and get frustrated easily, so I am happy that this is a short course, which is typically easier for someone like me. I hope to get better with the encouragement of the wonderful ladies I get to play with!
Hello, thank you for visiting us at The Groves Golf and Country Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Top Notch Course!
I moved back to FL a year ago and discovered this little jewel in the rough. It's not a long course, but it makes up for it in some holes that make you think through your shots carefully. Wetlands, ponds and hole shaping can mess you up quickly if you don't. Course staff has always been great from the pro shop to the rangers. And the course is very well maintained. Highly recommend this course to anyone! A++
