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.

Layout nice. Greens not good. There is an attempt to make them better with seeding but it will take awhile.

Good layout … but that’s about it

It’s evident that no money was put back into Grand Palms. Greens have many bare patches, are shaggy and bumpy. Tee blocks are sandy and not maintained. Food not readily available either on course or off … unless you count a $4.60 Snickers bar in the pro shop. Adding insult to injury happens when you get your Visa statement in Cdn funds and you realize the complete lack of value the green fees represent .

Avoid at all cost

Not even worth the $40 to play 18 here. This course used to be a fun track and no it's a strat dog track. Greens are cut super long so they are very slow. The greens are also very patched and extremely bumpy. Automatic 2-3 putt every hole. Sad to see this course in this shape because it is a very fun layout when it's in good condition.

It appears management is trying to improve playing conditions. Many greens still recovering from what I understand was a rough Dec-Jan. Fairways and rough also need some more TLC. If you are just out to keep your golf swing in shape for your vacation, this should serve its purpose.

Very fun course

This was my first time at this course and will definitely be back. Staff was exceptional and very polite. Place of place was great. Very affordable. Only reason this course doesn’t get 5 stars is because the the greens weren’t in the best shape with dry patches and weeds on almost all the greens.
