Nice course but needs some care.
Nit bad for the.money but......
Tee boxes needed cutting no big deal but the greens sure need some attention. Dont use your putter the ball wont get there. Really shaggy.
Well maintained course
Great time at the Groves! Greens were fantastic, and overall the course was in very good shape. Very pleasant day on the links!
Great course for a good pace of play!
I have been coming here for years and it’s always been a great course if you want to play a quick 18 holes with a nice fast pace of play! The course conditions are always good for the most part & they’re never overpriced! Staff is always friendly & the clubhouse food is on point! 👌 🙌👏
A Good day on the golf course
This is a short course but challenging enough
Hooked up with a really nice couple
The Peale that work there are extremely nice
The condition of the course is the best we’ve seen since we arrived March 1st
From T boxes to fairways to greens
We are a 40 min drive away but keep going back for all of the reasons above
Highly recommended
Hello, thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at The Groves Golf and Country Club. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!
Too slow
Spread out the tee times please. Its not fun when you have to wait 15 minutes between shots.

Great Course
Very nice track not real long but the fairways and greens were really nice, the guy behind the counter and the starter were exceptionally gracious.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at The Groves Golf and Country Club.
The Groves is the best!
Great course and it is in fantastic shape. The staff is so helpful and friendly. My favorite course to play!
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.
Great shorter course
Great shorter course, early tee times available, greens fast and in great shape, accuracy very important on some holes, very good bang for the buck
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.
Best Course In Town
Whether your travelling and trying new courses or live local, this course is amazing!!!!! It's always fun and they have a lot of par 3's. Each fairway is short but challenging. This has become one of my go to courses. The golf carts are really nice and comfortable. However the GPS on golf carts can hinder you when close to a green next to bunkers. The GPS has the power to completely stop the cart and leave you pushing it back to fairway and slows you down automatically when your on the move, but overall it's an amazing and fun course!!!!!! I love this course!!!!
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.

Fun day
I golfed with a friend and his group at The Meadows on 3/23. I also golfed The Groves a few weeks ago. Both courses are in great shape and although The Groves is an executive course that’s the most challenging course I’ve ever played. The lady who checked us in (from Illinois) was really nice and made everyone feel welcomed. Both courses are just beautiful and payed out very well. I will definitely play there again. Great bang for the buck. Thanks
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.
