What’s Happening?
Since assuming management in March 2026, the Arnold Palmer Golf Management team has been hard at work restoring and transforming the Meadows and Groves golf courses, bringing both back to the standard the Suncoast community deserves. The first golf course to open to the public was the Meadows Course in June 2026 and the Groves Course opened to the public on October 1, 2026.
Course & Turf
- 50,000 square feet of new sod installed across five high-priority areas, including greens, tee boxes, the practice putting green, and the driving range
- Wall-to-wall fertilization and a custom nutrient recovery program applied to both the Meadows and Groves courses
- Full greens aerification completed May 2026 as well as August 2026. Aerification opens up the greens and fairways so they can breathe, take in nutrients, and heal; it’s the single biggest thing we do to keep the course playing great through the season.
- Targeted weed and pest control programs implemented across both courses, reversing years of accumulation
- New flags and flagsticks on every hole, branded tee markers on all active tee boxes, and new cup cutters installed to proper putting surface standards
- Driving range now offers grass hitting surfaces in addition to mats, alternating daily for optimal turf recovery
- New Club Car Tempo golf cart fleet arrived August 5, 2026, an industry leader in safety, efficiency and comfort
While the progress made in the first several months has been substantial, the work is far from over. The team’s attention has now turned to the Groves course, where ongoing agronomic investment and restoration work continues. The goal is simple: 36 holes of golf that the Suncoast community, its residents, and its visitors can be proud to play.
Both the Meadows Course and Groves Course are open to the public. Tee Times may be booked online or by calling our Pro Shop at 941-415-7807.
