What did they do to the course

This is the second time since April we had gone to play a round. The staff are super nice and this should not reflect poorly on them. The pace of play was 3 hours, the reason it was so fast - the course is beat up. The greens are in shambles (April was bad as well) and the tee boxes had patches of uncut grass. They recently punched holes to help but each green was different and each one caused a problem. I stopped putting around the 7th hole.
If you want to work on your irons and not put - this would be the course for you.

Weekday golfing

I enjoy golfing on the weekdays better than weekends. The pace of play is always quicker, the golfers are more respectful, and the staff are always helpful.

Really enjoyed today they’re fixing it up for the snowbird season some rough patches but overall an excellent golfing time

Still expensive

The title is strictly on the grounds that the cost is high and never came down once they reopened from the pandemic.
Grand Palms is a nice overall course that is getting ready for the golf season- today the Grand was closed. Good pace as we started at 0830 and completed in under 3 hours.
The staff is friendly and helpful, they need to be called out for today’s experience. They maneuvered some so the groups to keep the pace going. It turned out to be a good thing and no backup of golfers complaining.

Perfect Day

I found a Hot Deal and book it for Wednesday morning at 0830. The pace of play was outstanding- we finished in under 4 hours and the only time we saw any other group was on the first hole.
Excellent day for golf !!!

No cart for beverages

It’s one thing to allow patrons not to bring coolers on the golf course, but not to have a beverage cart in August is too crazy. The feel like temp is over 100 degrees and just to have the bar open is not good for the golfers.

Slow

Played this afternoon for the first time in a long time,, the staff is extremely friendly and very helpful. The only thing missing was a ranger that could move the slower players along. We got caught behind a foursome that was not aware of the pace of play or common courtesy. We had a wonderful afternoon with the exception of playing excruciatingly slow
We knew that we would not finish the joke became before the rain or we lose the sun

Needs some TLC

The course this morning was empty and the pace of play was perfect. The staff was extremely friendly today, but there is a need for TLC on the greens

Beat up

Grand Palms is beat up, the greens need work. With the shutdown of 2020 and not really a snowbird season not sure why they are in that condition. Not a good value for your money

Came prepared

Golfed here on Thursday surprised that there was no liquids to be sold or cups for water. Came prepared today. Soft cooler with fluids - but still no bathrooms
Wasn’t busy today but got stuck behind a 4some that backed up everything.
I do like this course , wish some golfers knew etiquette

No bathroom or hydration available

Just in case you decide to play golf at Grand Palms bring fluids ( heat index >100 today) , but no cups or the ability to purchase fluids on the course. If you need to use the restroom while golfing- good luck as all of the external bathrooms are sealed closed.
I like this course and been a regular here for years, but not having fluids or the ability to use a debit/credit card to purchase drinks is unacceptable.

Money

I play Grand Palms almost every weekend and never saw it this bad. I understand that the new rules are there for everyone protection with single carts but they have to also realize that at some point you can not just accept every walk up or book every tee time. We had to wait almost thirty minutes for a cart, played rush the entities and even had to stop putting at one point so the group behind us could hit into the green. I am still confused with that one as now we are waiting to tee off and the group behind us is on top of us - just very bad course management.
Best conversation I heard while waiting was a twosome waiting for another twosome and the one guy said let them go play they could be on the green now. The starter said he couldn’t because he can only allow foursomes- no sense and backed up everyone.

Horrible time

This was the worst I’ve ever seen slow play. There was no Ranger we were almost 1 hour behind the suggested pace of play, the two groups in front of us didn’t care or understand golf etiquette. One of the employees came out and said he talk to them and they’re going to play faster which made them play slower . Everyone in my group had a Home rep it back nine I stop playing at one point because I was getting frustrated.

Beautiful course

What a beautiful course, great layout and overall an excellent experience. The front nine we got stuck behind a threesome playing extremely slow, and a single player. After rather turning to hole 11 we never saw the group holding everyone up. Played 18 holes in 3 1/2 hours and received a message to keep up with the group in front of us - which really angered me considering our pace was well within the expectation

Not on a holiday

I’ve played this course many times in the past, but never on a holiday. Very slow 3 hours for 9 holes. Decided that it was too much to spend six hours on the golf course no matter how nice

Response from on 07/09/2018:
Thank you for the 4-star review of Hollybrook. We are sorry to hear the pace of play was a little slow. Hopefully it will be better next round.

Grand Palms Royal and Sabal

Beautiful day on Sunday to play a round of golf. From the young lady behind the pro shop counter to the cart girl very friendly. Greens and fairways are in good condition the tee boxes could use some work.
Would recommend this course

Unbelievable

I try to play Grand Palms at least once a week, this was the worst pace of play I have ever witnessed. I was a twosome and understood playing behind a foursome it was going to be slow but we had been able to pace ourselves and enjoyed the Royal the problem was when we made a turn to Sabal another group jumped in front of us, guess they decided not to play the Royal. So now we are waiting for over 20 minutes from our last hole for the group to stretch and hit 2 balls each. It was unbearable and we left after a few more holes. There need to be rangers or starters there to stop this from happening and ruining a day of golf
