The Groves Golf and Country Club
About
Surrounded by 200 acres of carefully preserved wetlands, the Groves Golf & Country Club offers championship golf in a spectacular setting. It sits conveniently just 20 minutes north of Tampa in Land O Lakes. Maintaining the natural beauty of the landscape was a top priority when designing the golf course, which is why the layout manages to seamlessly blend into the surroundings. The course, which measures 4,026 yards, offers all of the challenging qualities of a championship-length course but can be played in four hours or less. The player-friendly golf course offers something for all skill levels whether you are a scratch golfer looking for a quick round, or a beginner looking for some challenging practice. In addition to the course, The Groves also boasts a unique aqua driving range as well as putting and chipping greens.

The groves golf course
I was not expecting as much water holes and lost at least three balls. They had closed the front nine for fixing up the course. But the value to play with cart included was a steal. They only charged 20.00 with a cart..
Back nine twice
The front nine was closed so the back nine twice was the answer. Love this course. Didn’t do any better playing the same holes a second time but the opportunity to play a different club on a second try was fun. Will be back when all 18 are ready
Hello, thanks so much for your review and feedback. We hope to see you again soon!
Great short course kept in great condition
This is a fun, challenging course for a short/executive course. The greens and fairways were kept in very good condition. Depending on the time of day, you can get through the course fairly quickly, however, it is in a retirement community, so, if you go when it’s busy, you could be stuck behind many older foursomes that tend to play slow and can add considerable wait times.
Hello, thanks so much for your review and feedback. We hope to see you again soon!
I love this course!
This is one of the best public courses in the Tampa Bay area! Yesterday, the fairways were in fairly bad condition compared to how they usually are. The greens looked great, though.

Really like playing this course - short but challenging
Hello, thank you for visiting us at The Groves Golf and Country Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and feedback. We hope you join us for another round soon.
My home course
I found this course shortly after moving to the area. After visiting the driving range, I met some ladies that were all a part of the women's league that just finished their round. They were very friendly and welcoming and invited me to join their league, which I gladly accepted. I have only been paying once a week with them as well as some special tournaments. Even though I am not a very good player, I love to play and have made some great friendships there. I look forward to playing each week and hope to improve my game!

Short Game Relaxation
I try to play here a few times a month and the course is always in great condition. There are some challenging holes with risk reward options of going for it in 1 (5/10/13/18)but I go for a relaxing follow-up round and to work on the short game. Great nature viewing and when the summer comes I can usually get 2 rounds in very quickly in the evenings without being fatigued the next day. Great staff and they have practice facilities. My only Ace was here on the 150yd #14 si it will always be a special course for me.
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.

Groves Review
Played Monday 4/22. Everything was fine. Course is in good shape and very short, par 66 with 8 par 3s.
If I go again it will be to practice my iron play..which I did on the back 9.
Staff very friendly in pro shop and at grille.
Played with 2 guys from Switzerland who were fun and nice. Overall a good day..

Wonderful challenge.
Very challenging course. Enjoyed the conditions. Greens are amazing, role true and fast. Fairways are very nice. Tee boxes are broad enough to choose your angle. I will return again and bring friends b

Nice course, very scenic.
Course is short but challenging. You will play it different from most courses. Lots of water hazards and bunkers to challenge shot making. Staff, carts , and course were very nice. Food and drink in bar area was excellent, very gracious bartenders. Will recommend to my friends. Course in very good condition for this time of year and heavy play schedule.
