The Groves Golf and Country Club

Overview: The Groves Golf and Country Club in Land O’ Lakes is an 18-hole reduced-length course designed by Gary Koch. The community’s official page lists 4,026 yards and par 66, and the FAQ says the course and practice facilities are open to the public. The official material also describes the layout as a shortened version with championship-course characteristics.

History: The Groves is part of an active-adult community of 755 homes north of Tampa. The community’s current pages document the course as an amenity and public golf facility, but the reviewed sources do not state an opening date.

Did You Know? The community pages are not fully consistent on par, with one page saying 66 and another saying 65. This profile uses par 66 from the current About Us page and records the discrepancy rather than presenting both as fact.
