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.

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.

Well worth the money

27 holes to choose from. Interesting Lay-out with lots of water. T boxes fairways and greens in good shape. Slow green speed compared with other FL tracks. Bunkers never get raked. pitchmarks hardly replaced or filled, although sand is provided with cart.

Starters are friendly and try to accommodate you. No catering. Unusual driving range: you hit „floaters“ into the pond.

Getting better

Layouts and fairways are ok. Green not as fast and some dead grass spot but can’t complain if you pay $40 or less. Look like it coming back to life. I will come back if under $40.

First time here/after further review

After reading other reviews, id decide to try the course out for $40 and on a Monday mid morning. Pace of play was great. Most tee box’s aren’t bad 6/7 out of 10. Fairways aren’t bad couple rough spots but again 7/10. A few greens were great. They are definitely a work in progress I’d say about 12 of 18 still need work filling in seeds. A lot of water almost every hole. Not a lot of areas have out of bounds.

Not bad for $40/45

We played Royal/sabal course.

Cheap golf but nothing more

I booked as a single. Apparently didn’t have a group so was sent out with a couple. My garmin did not find the Royal nine. No yardage markers anywhere, no

Ball washers. Layout was ok with lots of water. Greens slow but had grass.

Had to park a long ways from club drop. No desire to go back.

Good golf course worth to try

We played on 2 of the 3 9-holes courses (Sabal and Grand). They were in decent condition since some areas were wet and muddy. The greens were also in decent condition with some small yellow spots and the grass were still a bit too long (slow in combination with the wet condition). The course layout is interesting in some holes (lots of water and bunkers) and a bit boring in some others. We enjoyed the pace, a bit slow sometimes but still finished less than 4 hours (for 2 players). We liked it and would come back in the future.

Feedback

Grand Palms is a great 27 hole layout. There were issues with the greens previously but they have dramatically improved. The course is a great value.
