First Time Playing

Good short game course … very friendly staff … it may be a par 63 course but plays like a par 72 … accuracy is a must .. if your right or left of the target moguls will bounce your shot into the schmutes or Into the water … greens are good but very few straight putts everything breaks right or left … but prepared to accept lots of 3 putts … but it is a great course… you will very much enjoy TRYING to tame it …. Go play you’ll be glad you did … I will defiantly be back …I got my butt kicked and now I know how it plays … I shot an 81 … but very much enjoyed the challenge.

Good for your short game

Greens are rock hard and holding them is nearly impossible. Fairways are firm but have fair amounts of grass despite dry months. T boxes are in decent shape. Snowbirds are gone so pace of play is good on weekdays, midafternoon is best. Most holes on the back feed into ponds on one or more sides so accurate approaches are needed. Kinda fun par three executive course with some par fours and short fives thrown in. At $25 for 18 in afternoon’s after 3:00 I would recommend!

Good thing it was cheap

Course is poorly laid out and marked. Flags next to flags. Couldn’t figure out the 9th hole and couldn’t figure out how to get back. Aesthetically it’s boring and beat up. The staff was nice.

WORTH THE MONEY

Groves has dropped its rates since Snowbird season is over. Good greens with challenging holes.
