The Groves Golf Course

Always enjoy the 3 hour round at The Groves in the Meadows! It’s a short course but makes you think what club you should use over the hazards. Challenging course for sure but always enjoy playing there!

Great layout and very friendly staff. Excellent value for money. Not in pristine condition but lovely to play and some challenging holes. Thank you.

Front gets you warmed up for some a few challenging holes on the back!

Short course, but can still use driver from the blue tees, kind of fun trying to drive greens. Course was absolutely wide open, so finished in under 2 hours. Rough was deep, but fairways were fine and greens were pretty true. The staff, especially Peter, were very welcoming.

All things considered, my son and I played the day after Hurricane Idalia and kudos to the team there for having the course in great shape. It was cart path only which is strange when the cart path ends after the tee boxes. Also, heed the warnings. This course is not easy. Course management is needed here and first time.playing was a challenge. All-in-all, would love to play again.

The Groves is in excellent summer condition. Greens are true and smooth. Fairways are in very good shape. Bermuda rough is high. During scorching summer days it was nice to be able to play in 2 and a half hours with no one ahead to slow my pace of play. Golf doesn't get much better than that. Being an executive course with only 1 par 5, a driver isn't needed but the double-tiered greens that slope away on crowned greens are still a great challenge. Water on all 18 holes can also come into play. A fun challenge and a great summer value through golfnow.

Got to play the couse on a hot deal which was totally worth the price.

Pros;

Staff was very friendly and answered all my questions.

Carts were in good shape.

Greens were in good shape. A couple greens had small bare spots but not a big deal. The also rolled good and the ball one hopped and stopped.

Cons;

Tee boxes were fluffy and some wear spots. But there was plenty of area for quality lie and footing.

Fairways were also fluffy with alot crab grass but playable

No driving range and the cooler at the turn/ 1st hole was put of water on a mid 90's summer day.

The cons are miniscule compared to the layout, quality and price to play here.

**No driving range

Clubhouse staff were great. Cart attendant ls were grumpy men. Golf school kids held up play. Course for a par 65 has a nice layout. Care for course average for a public course. With some attention it could be a nice place.

The double- tiered greens were in very good shape, rolling true but at average speeds The rest of the course is in fine shape as the recent rains have really improved fairway conditions. Playing as a single the pace was excellent at 2 hours for 18. Sand in the bunkers was a little harder than I prefer but likely due to recent rains. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is the lack of a pre-round practice area (neither a range nor practice nets). The new carts are excellent along with on-board GPS. A fun challenge with water penalty areas on every hole and tricky greens.
