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.

Fun course

Perfect course for playing with the wives or the guys. Shorter holes, but still challenging. The greens are in great shape. Pace moves along with little waiting on the tee boxes, Have played The Groves a dozen times and it's always enjoyable

Hello good people we have to tell you we are proud of this home course and play here all summer, winter, spring and fall. We residents of Florida want to thank you for all the great complements you have given this course.
I want to thank all the staff here for the hard work that they put into maintaining this golf course. I also want to include this course very much needs your help to maintain the course so we can all enjoy a great round of golf. Please repair any damage on the greens and in the fairway. I was sad to see many ball marks on the greens no one cared to fix. Let’s all do our part. The last round I played I slowed play because some one forgot to do their part. Thanks

Awesome

I was amazed by how friendly and accommodating everyone was. The golf carts were amazing, the course was gorgeous. I felt as if i was in the most expensive course. The day was perfect! My friend and I was asked if we minded if a single player could join us, it was nice that we were asked and introduced. My friend and I plan to go back again this week. You have the option to play 9 or 18 holes, no extra cost for the luxury golf carts, and they are exceptional. This course is a gem in Pasco County and I am so thankful to have been introduced to it.
