About

Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6881 yards
Slope 152
Rating 73.6

Twenty seven championship holes await travelers visiting south Florida's scenic beaches. Grand Palms Golf & Country Club in Pembroke Pines also offers three nines: Royal, Sabal and Grand. All three are famous for having some of the best greens in the area, and the golf courses are played in three separate combos. The Grand/Royal 18, designed by Ward Northrup, comes in at 6,881, most of which is blanketed with palm trees and tropical foliage. The longest and most challenging of the Grand Palms' golf courses, Grand/Royal features some especially memorable water holes. A tight layout with raised greens (perfect for testing your shot-making talents), beware the Grand's bunkers, strategically placed along the greensides.

Greens need love

After paying $35 deposit, I was charged full price to play. I did book the wrong date. I called first thing in the morning and corrected the date on the reservation. However, no new confirmation could be sent and the attendant had no idea about my situation but had my tee time ready.

Good for the money

I played here for $29 and that was a good deal. The greens were a bit spotty on some holes but for $29 this wasn’t an issue for me. The Sable course was challenging on the stretch from hole 4-6. Tight landing areas with lots of water. Overall I was happy for $29

Good value and not crowded.

Greens have lots of weeds so if you are serious may not be the course for you.

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.
