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.

Awful

They should close this course until they have the time and the money to make it playable. Worse greens that we ever played on. If they paid me to play there I would say no thank you. Lots of people working on the course but not doing the things that really mattered.. the bunkers were better than the greens. Hardly any grass on the greens only dirt and sand.

Unplayable Greens

There is literally no grass in the greens. Unplayable and did not get warned of the conditions of the course.

On top of incredibly slow play. Will never come back here and recommend not going. It’s cheap but not worth the money even.

First Time Playing

Course is in horrendous condition, more sand on the greens than grass. Only warning for ongoing work on the greens was a sign posted on your way to the cart area, so after you pay. No rain checks given either, even though there’s no warning for how terrible the greens are.

Not asking for PGA conditions, just normal, playable conditions for the golf season especially in Florida this time of year.

Terrible Greens

Most courses give a heads up when the greens are being worked on. Neither the app nor the course said anything. This was a terrible experience.

A little heads up would’ve been nice

I booked this as a hot deal earlier in the week and was excited to play here. Unlike every other course that states the greens are being worked on, this course didn’t give that heads up. These greens were horrendous and made for an awful day of putting.

I’m not a professional by any means and we would’ve probably still played had we had a heads up. They didn’t have it in the description nor did they say anything at the desk. No signs posted, NOTHING!

Awful

I’ve been playing here for years but I have never seen such terrible conditions

The greens are not green. More dirt than grass

I hope they get it together because it’s a great place to play

putting on mud!

The coffee shop was open but no attendee, she was on the course and was the only service person

The course was in such bad shape the greens were just packed mud and most of the fairways we sparsely covered with weeds

It would not be acceptable as a unmanaged public lark, forget about a golf course.

It took us over 2-1/2 hours to play 9, and we left after that

play here a few years ago and it was perfectly fine, have no clue what happened

Do not pay over $25

I wish I would have taken photos. The greens.........EVERY GREEN...........are not green. They are compacted hard dirt/mud. The good thing about it is the putts were rolling fairly true LOL. Imagine putting on linoleum in your kitchen......a little sticky, not as slick as tile floor, but similar.
