The Groves Golf and Country Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

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!!!!
Great course to play a round of golf
Have played many rounds of golf at the Groves ,it is our favorite course to play ! Check in is always fast and easy . The staff are always very friendly and helpful.
The Groves course is well kept and maintained with bathrooms and ice water available our on the course .
The Groves is a great golf course for beginners or a well seasoned player . Would recommend the Groves course to any one looking for a great round of golf ! ⛳
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.
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.
Challenging short course
If you hit your irons straight you can score well. Shot placement is key to a low score. May only need a driver on 4 holes maximum. Fairways were in very good condition and the speed of the greens surprised me as in the past they had been slow. This time the ball rolled very well.

Always good
Groves was in good shape. For a Florida course in March which gets a lot of pressure, its in good shape. 4-5 of the greens were like putting on my driveway (exaggeration) but overall very pretty course in nice neighborhood and nice people.
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!
Great staff and course
In comparison to other courses in the area, this is one of the best. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The course is in excellent condition. The fairways are a little narrow and water and sand come into play on most holes. The greens a big and consistent. Over all a great deal for the price.

Great Greens
Always enjoy playing here. Greens are as good/better than any course in the greater Tampa Bay area
While the overall layout is short, the holes are designed so that you have to think your way around this course.
There is a lot of trouble
Thank you the 5-Star Rating! We look forward to having you back soon at The Groves Golf and Country Club
