Good course

I have not played the Groves for several years and found it to be in good condition with one exception. The greens and fairways were very good but the tee blocks were in terrible condition. Staff were trying to rehabilitate them but some were still terrible.

Challenged

For an executive course it was well laid out and in good shape both the fairways and greens. It was challenging course and really enjoyed. I would definitely play this course again.

Some poorly designed holes

On a couple of holes , if you go off the green by a foot, the ball will go into a hazard! I call that poor design.

Nice warm up executive course

It’s a short executive corse, 4000 from the back tees, but for our first game since October it was fine. The staff are very helpful, the inclusion of a beer in the fee was a nice surprise. The tees were not in great shape, greens are ok. The course is pretty, lots of wildlife. Nice layout.

A pleasant gem

We have been away from sometime, COVID etc.
What a pleasant surprise, the driving range is gone and a new number is a par 5. AT the same time 18 has been cleaned up no more cross overs to other holes. The good for nothing waste area in front to the green is gone making for a more attractive approach.
Outstanding
The greens I feel are some of the best in Venice. Fa better than sister course Highlands.
Could not give 5 stars as some of the tee boxes are rough.
Do not let the distance fool you. Every hole has a unique challenge and if you do not pay attention water will get you.
Scenery is awesome.
Before we go home we will back.
