The Groves Golf and Country Club

Explore a Tampa-area favorite with today’s feature: $20 for 18 Holes with Cart and a Draft Beer or Soda at The Groves Golf and Country Club in Land O' Lakes ($42 Value. Includes Tax. Expires April 1, 2018!)

Located just north of Tampa in beautiful Land O' Lakes, today’s feature course, The Groves Golf and Country Club, is a richly constructed public course like few you’ve played before. Playing as a par-65 from the back set of tees, this relaxed and gorgeous course will redefine your prejudices about what a short course can be – resulting in a round of spectacular Florida golf that you won’t soon forget.

If you think that all short public courses are unimaginative layouts with ho-hum holes that run parallel to each other – think again. The Groves totally bucks that trend by presenting a full 18 holes that, despite their length, are truly championship worthy – testing your ability to hit it straight, execute shots, and navigate a course that is far from forgiving. Fairways here are often flanked by trees, and water is frequently in play, especially around the greens. Speaking of greens, the putting surfaces are good sized here, but not always easy to read. Subtly undulated and quicker than they look, you’ll want to really focus on putting well to shoot a low score here.

If warming up before your round or tweaking your swing after #18 is part of your golf routine, you’re in luck at The Groves. The grounds feature a fantastic practice facility that will help you edge your way closer to perfect. Natural teeing stations on an aqua range are available for the longer clubs in your bag, and the short game area, including sand trap and large putting green, will help you shape-up all of those essential score-making shots. At the 15,000 square foot Clubhouse & Civic Center, you’ll find the perfect 19th hole destination: The Groves Grill. Operated by 5 Diamond Chef Mark Vesh, the Grill is the perfect place for lunch, dinner or a post-round toast with your playing partners.

With hole distances ranging from 105 to 375 yards in length, this one-of-a-kind course is the perfect test for any skill level. Don’t miss this Tampa-area gem – reserve your round now!
