Type Resort
Par 71
Length 6682 yards
Slope 141
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.

Horrible greens conditions

I'm disappointed Golfnow has this golf course on there list, I expected more. The condition of the greens on the course are horrible, in fact unplayable. There is not one green in good condition, seems this course does not have a greens keepers , I'm surprised it's still open.

The staff does their best to attend to you , but this course should be shut down until they repair the course.

Bad shape, greens unplayable

Course is in very bad shape. Every single green is literally unplayable, full of weeds and dead spots. Is like they have given up.

NOT THE SAME COURSE

This used to be my favorite course, I wouldn’t recommend this course to anyone for multiple reasons.

1. Terrible Greens
2. Fees don’t go to fixing the course
3. Employees are saying the owner does not want to pay for upkeep and likes to keep the money instead.

!!DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COURSE!!!

Horrendous Greens

Impossible to putt straight due to all the dirt patches and weeds on the greens. Sabal greens are horrendous.

Course needs some Love

Tee boxes were the best thing on the course. Couldn’t really putt on the bumps on the greens. Need a little more signage and direction on which back nine to play. Course seems like it was a nice course once upon a time but now needs a little love to bring it back.

Greens? Ehhhh, maybe not.

The staff members at this course are awesome!

Unfortunately, this trait does not carry over to the course itself. The greens were the absolute worst we've ever seen. I have included one photo that is representative of their overall "quality" but could have easily added about 16 more.

Occasionally you will encounter a tee box that is in excellent condition, or a fairway that is actually plush, but I believe this is more indicative of what this course used to be rather that its current state. In its current condition this course is worth no more than $25 - $30 a round.

Poor greens

Lovely staff, very helpful and friendly. Course layout very challenging with water in play constantly. Must be played conservatively if your drive is off The greens took the value out of it, with me wishing I had paid $20 more for nearby course in better condition. I hope the management wise up.

Nice course layout and very friendly people

I played Grand and Royal for the second time and love the course layout and most holes. The starters are super friendly and I was joining a twosome, which was great fun to play with. The course is not easy with a lot of (water) hazards. Only a few greens are in a very bad condition. I like this place and would always come back!

Just don't waste your money.

This place shouldn't even be open. If you want to spend $20 for some fresh air and a golf cart ride great. If you are going for golf or a good experience just don't.
