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.

A one time great course

For this time of year we probably paid a fair price for this course. The greens are fair to poor. Hardly any bare spots but not very lush either.

Fire your greens keeper

I normally play the PBC courses Osprey , Park Ridge, Okeeheelee and love their smooth quick greens . The moment I dropped a ball on the practice green at Grand Palms my 20 ft downhill putt stopped 8 feet short of the hole! Ok Hopefully they just didn’t cut the practice green .. No luck The greens are an embarrassment. Large dead spots also indicate something is very wrong here . Too bad because it’s a nice track otherwise.

OK for the price

The layout of this course is decent and challenging. Most holes are somewhat narrow with water on at least one side or to go over. The grass in the fairways was mostly OK and greener than some other courses we’ve played. The greens were very slow and in average shape. Quite a bit of quack type grass in the rough areas.

One and Done!

No golf attendants upon arrival. 11am tee time, first six greens were uncut, very fuzzy and slow. Several greens and tee boxes in poor condition. 1970's facility that needs significant TLC. Had fun but this course is a one & done for me and my golf buddies! More like a $40 course.

Underwhelming!

1970's course and amenities that could use an investment!
At a resort course you expect for golf course workers to great you at the bag drop and load you onto carts...we had to carry our bags to the starters booth.
Many greens have fungus albeit being addressed. We had an 11am tee time and first 6 holes had uncut, furry greens. Slow greens.
Fairways were decent. Rough was typical for a public, Florida course.
Overall, better than being in the office but an underwhelming experience and more like a $40-$50 course!
