The Grove Golf Course Review
This immaculately conditioned parkland course has excellent bunkering and moulding with a terrific and comprehensive variety of features, such as tight doglegs, demanding carries over water and inviting drives from elevated tees.
The sumptuous 3rd, with its approach over ‘Hell’s Lake’, is a real test of the nerves, and the short hole that follows is all about hitting the right length.
There are further excellent par 4s both at the 5th and the perfect 18th to its raised green, and in 2006 Tiger Woods recorded an eagle three on the 567-yard 9th hole three days in succession.
The short holes are all very appealing, particularly the inviting 13th from its elevated tee. If you want to get the best from your round, the recently introduced ‘Caddie Experience’ is well worth considering, as you will learn a great deal about both The Grove and your own game.
Away from the course, the efficient and yet relaxed and friendly welcome here is as good as it gets.
