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.

Get Taxed

Golf course is ok they are leaving alot out and that’s why it’s not more then a 3Star in my book !

No cart service during the week !

If you buy any type of beverage or alcohol you will be charged separate which I don’t understand but you will

Pay tax twice on what should of been once 🤣

Most golf courses don’t allow outside food or beverages!

So if you come here please come ready !

Staff friendly and attentive

Down hill

I used to play here on week days weekly at least once to practice, on the Gran course.

I 100% will not even consider it because of how bad the greens were. 100% neglected. I will only consider playing Sable.

Used to be a great property but it is clear that it is just not cared about anymore. Hopefully it gets redone and we have some quality again.

Bad Maintenace and amenities

Great layout but the course upkeep is the worst; greens not well maintained and putting greens with growth in them.

There is no Cafeteria or food Courts as before.

And the golf food cartas are few so you are left stranded without anything to drink or eat.

Needs a little TLC

Haven’t played in a couple months here and when I did it was in real nice condition and the greens were amazing. Fast forward and the course needs some TLC. The greens have some weeds and dead spots on them. Still a decent option for the money compared to a lot of courses in the area

Cow pasture

With the amount of play traffic course amazingly in decent shape, only a couple tee boxes are actually turf, but dose it really matter, even on 3's most players use a tee.

Fairways basically 40% turf, I'm not an agronomist, but if most players would fill there divots, how costly would it be to keep a mixture of seeded fertilizer sand in the scoop boxes, I believe in the long run that would totally help fairways growth.

Compared to area courses the greens rate 80% excellent, if most players were taught proper etiquette and convinced that fixing ball marks and raking traps is a good thing, and I am pretty sure the course has a green roller and used it more it would make a world of difference, just saying, just a few of my thoughts, or dreaming.
