Length 6682 yards

Rating 72.6

Located in Pembroke Pines, picturesque Grand Palms Golf & Country Club offers three nines: Royal, Sabal and Grand. The nine-hole courses are playable in three combos, with the Sabal/Grand coming in at a 6,682 yards. Of the three, Sabal/Grand is the most helter skelter, combining the shortest and longest nines. The Grand is a tight golf course that offers a challenge for most, what with its raised greens, narrow fairways and challenging water holes. Sabal, by contrast, is a resort-style play, with a gentler game featuring generous fairways and greens.

It’s a Shame.

This golf course is being run down. The pace of play is horrible no one there monitoring or helping groups stuck behind very slow play move those players along. I understand that not everyone plays at the same level but golf ettics you let faster players through especially when there is no one in front of you. The greens are in horrible condition and have yet to play that course and see someone working on it. There are 3 nines so don’t understand why they don’t close one nine to fix it. Then move on to the next. I will never play there again unless some changes are made. There are very few good golf courses in south Florida left. Used to be some great golf courses not anymore.

Terrible greens

Course was in good shape with one exception. Greens were terrible. Pock marked. Hard to get a decent roll. Would not play again until greens are fixed.

Greens In Awful Shape

If putting is your thing, this is not the course for you. I've played all three nines in the last two weekends, and the Grand course is the only one with tolerable greens. Royal/Sabal courses have GARBAGE greens. You might as well just take an automatic two putt once you're on the green, that's how poor they are. $71 for a weekend round through CanAm is insane, and they charge about $10 more if you don't use CanAm. Terrible. Avoid until they get the course back in decent shape.

Greens were almost unplayable

Overall the course was a decent play expect when it came to the greens. We played Royal/Sable and about 15/18 greens were borderline unplayable.
We played this same course about a 5 weeks ago and they were no where near this bad.

Needs to be revamped/placed under new management

Grew up in SoFlo. Well before I started playing golf this was highly touted as a must play. I’ve only been at it 2-3 years and was highly disappointed. Horrendous greens, super patchy and whatever fertilizer they were using reeked of raw sewage on the entire course. It’s a shame because course itself is challenging and could be top notch if it was better kept. I’ve played courses half the price and 2x the quality.. living off name right now

Got a good rate on golf now. But the greens were so bad that your ball bounced across them.

Greens need renovation

Good course but only a few greens are still playable. The rest are in pretty dire need of regrassing/renovation. The grass on most of them is sparse, but long and stringy, and just rolled flat. We had some greens that were nappy where the grass had come up from being rolled. Really inconsistent, but they've done an OK job of working with what they got. It's worth playing for target practice but don't expect to roll putts until they get it fixed.
