The Groves Golf Course

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.

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.

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.

I had a 2.03 TT and I was immediately held up as there were two foursomes in front of me and one of them were walking. I tried to play around them but that too was impossible as there were foursome's also back up. So I scrubbed my golf day and returned home. When I asked the group in front, they said their TT was also 2.03 so I imagine the Groves over booked..

Enjoyed the layout challanges of Groves GC. I recommend it highly.

Very nice staff. Course in pretty good shape. Nice layout. I plan to play at least weekly late afternoon. With my grandson. The course is very supportive of junior golf as is the Meadows complex.

Perfect if you are looking for something a little different. Par 65 so you only need driver 3 or 4 times. Real good for sharpening iron play. Target golf with narrow fairways and plenty of water to avoid. Greens are a good variety of sizes and shapes, and were playing on the slower side.
Staff and facilities were great.
Will return for sure.
