The Groves Golf and Country Club Homes for Sale, Land O' Lakes FL

About The Groves Golf and Country Club

The Groves is a gated community in northern Land O' Lakes, built mostly between 2000 and 2007 with citrus-themed street names that nod to the groves that once covered the land. Homes range from attached villas and patio homes to larger estate homes, all resale today. A staffed gatehouse handles daytime entry, and residents use vehicle barcodes after hours. The community has two layers of governance: a Community Development District maintains the clubhouse, roads and amenities and bills through the property tax statement, while the HOA handles the golf course and neighborhood services. The 15,000-square-foot clubhouse has a ballroom, restaurant and bar, library, arts and crafts studio and an exercise room. Outside, there is a heated saltwater pool and spa, tennis and pickleball courts, bocce, shuffleboard, two dog parks, fishing lakes with a pier and more than 200 acres of conservation wetlands. The age-related rules here are specific, so buyers should read the community documents before making an offer.

The golf at The Groves Golf and Country Club

The Groves course is an 18-hole, par 65 layout, which means more par 3s and short par 4s than a standard championship course. That makes for faster rounds and a course that rewards accurate iron play over raw distance. The practice setup includes a driving range, practice green and an aqua range near the clubhouse. The course, range and practice green are open to the public, generally from 7:30 in the morning until a half hour before sunset, with seasonal adjustments. Residents can buy annual golf cart memberships and play cards, and non-golfers may use the cart paths when the course is closed. Because the HOA is responsible for the course, its condition and finances are tied to the community budget, which is worth reviewing during due diligence.

Living in The Groves Golf and Country Club: location and lifestyle

The Groves sits off US 41 north of State Road 54, close to the growing Land O' Lakes retail corridor with grocery stores, restaurants and medical offices. The Suncoast Parkway and State Road 52 give two different routes into Tampa, and Wesley Chapel shopping is about 20 minutes east. Inside the gate, a full-time activities director runs clubs, classes and social events. Nearby outdoor options include Conner Preserve, Starkey Wilderness Park and the many lakes of Land O' Lakes for fishing and paddling. The Turn Bar and Grill at the clubhouse serves as a casual spot for residents and visiting golfers. Because the clubhouse holds a restaurant, a ballroom and a library, much of daily social life happens inside the gate. The State Road 52 corridor to the north continues to add new shopping, while Lutz and Wesley Chapel restaurants are reachable in about 20 minutes for a night out.
