The Groves Golf Course
Spend the day on one of Florida’s best with today’s feature: $19 for 18 Holes with Cart at The Groves Golf Course in Sarasota ($41 Value. Includes Tax. Expires April 1, 2018!)
If you think that because you’ve played one executive course you’ve played them all, then today’s feature, The Groves Golf Course in Sarasota, is truly going to change your mind. Built to rival any championship 18 with its unique design and scenic hole layouts, The Groves is one of the best kept secrets in Tampa Bay-area golf – and one you shouldn’t even consider missing out on.
The name of course architect Arthur Hills is nearly synonymous with some of the country’s best golf courses – an association that certainly holds true at the Groves. Here, Hills took 50 outstanding acres of Sarasota countryside and beautifully designed a golfing experience that puts other area courses to shame, creating an executive layout that will require use of every single club in your bag.
Though the course only plays just over 3,800 yards and measures par at 63, the playing experience is just like any other superbly designed course: full of challenge. The layout is made up of nine par-4s and nine par-3s all which feature tight fairways and/or sloping greens. These near-constant challenges mean accuracy and shot execution, and not length, will make all the difference in your score. Be wary of the water and sand traps that are frequently in play, as they’ve been known to not only steal balls but also inflate scores on the day.
When your awesome round of 18 is complete, but sure to stop into The Centre Court Lounge for a post-round meal, drink, or conversation. With a relaxed atmosphere and delicious menu that features all of your favorites, it’s the perfect way to end your day.
Located just off of I-75 and University Pkwy, and a short drive from Sarasota, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch and Venice, every golfer in the Tampa area should experience what golf at The Groves is all about. Don’t wait – reserve your round now!
