About The Groves Golf & Country Club
The Groves is a short course that doesn't play like one. Gary Koch, the tour player turned TV commentator and a 2012 Florida Sports Hall of Fame inductee, designed it inside 200 acres of conservation wetlands, and the idea was a championship course in reduced form: 3,928 yards at par 66, with holes from 105 to 350 yards. The fairways wind between trees and water and the greens are well bunkered, so it isn't the flat, side-by-side short course some people expect.
You can get around in about three and a half hours, and there's an aqua range and a full-size putting green for warming up, plus The Turn Bar and Grill afterward.
It's one of 2 courses in Land O Lakes on Yoink, and the closest alternative is Plantation Palms Golf Club, about 5 miles away — handy when your first choice is booked solid.
