Only for some Words. The OU in grouch has the OW sound as in couch and pouch.

The letters OUGH can have 4 different sounds:

In dough, it is the long O (oh) as in though and thorough.

In cough, it is the AW sound as in trough.

In rough, it is the short U sound as in tough and slough.

Only in bough (bow) and plough (plow) does it have the same OW sound as grouch.
