About

Holes 18
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.

This course is run so poorly.

The cheap people that run this place make it an awful experience. No ranger so the pace of play was terribly slow. They had a bunch of beginners on the course that were driving the carts on the greens and tee boxes. At one point they were playing a 10 some. The range ball machine barely works. The kids that work at the course are great but they are embarrassed to work there. One kid said he was quitting without a new job even lined up because the management was so awful. The course is in bad shape overall. The kitchen in the club house is condemned so you can't get any food. Its a complete embarrassment.

Tee Time

I selected the first tee time available: Sat, 7:am

The front nine went relatively fine with no players ahead. When we reached the back nine found a course completely stuck and crowded. Something totally unexpected in a regulat golf course.

This complex has 3 9-hole courses that they mix at will so players can start the front nine at any and play the back nine at any other as instructed by the proshop guys. This is a total mess as they do not respect the priorities. As playing the back nine was impossible we complained and requested a rain check or credit. This guy said no because it was a weekend. Period.

Beside this, the courses have no clear signaling. No 100-150-200 marks and no maps in the score card.

We willl never play there again. Golfpass shoud make its memebers aware of this scam-like practice.

What happened to grand palms?

Tee boxes look like a brush fire ran through them. This course used to be so well taken care of. A shame how it’s declining

Worst golf course in all of Florida

This course is only worth like 20 dollars at best. The fairways are horrible and rge greens are the worst I have ever seen. I have no idea how anyone returns to this course to play a second round.

Need TLC

Course has to much potential, but it’s not maintained at all. Tee boxes are over grown; fairways are hard panned; greens are covered in bumps, divots, and weeds. Very frustrating conditions. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Aside from that, they need to revamp this course to compete with near by courses.

Grand Palms

If you wish to play a round and not care about course conditions, this is it. It used to be amazing. The course still is difficult, but the conditions are terrible. It’s a shame I would go to play for the challenge not for the Course conditions.

To far b 4 the money

The rate was very good with Golf. Now, but for the distance, I traveled from hallandale beach, we out west.The course was not up to my expectation . I generally play at a course, very close to my home. And felt that it was equally competitive. And groomed.

No bar/restaurant/lobby

The main part of east end of building has been condemned now for over a year.

Minimal refreshments in pro shop only, actually just a check in room.

If there are plans to rebuild it is taking quite a while.

Real shame theres not a chemical that can kill the spot weeds on greens without killing surrounding turf, most greens are roughly 70% turf, been playing here 30 times a year can't remember greens ever being aerated. Fairways are "meh" at best, tee boxes don't need anything special because most tee it up a little soap/bleach in ballwashers wouldn't hurt.

Staff is helpful and attentive.
