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.

Surprised by conditions on this course, being Pembroke Pines

The course was in terrible conditions with large weeds, high grass and holes on the greens. I expected better course with million dollar homes at Gran Palms in Pembroke Pines

Really bad course

Not going to play here again. Terrible condition, can’t even putt on the greens. Course has potential but is in such bad condition they shouldn’t even have it open.

Greens look like tee boxes,

Between people using the course as a walking path, to people stealing your ball from their back yard, the worst part was the greens! They’re all torn up. They’re 80% weeds, 10% dirt. This facility in general hasn’t seen an update in 30+ years, I’d leave zero stars of I could.

The greens looked like Swiss cheese

I have played this course many times over the years , it use to be my favorite. However, I haven’t play there in a while . I was shocked to see all the early morning tee times available and I found out why. The greens were horrendous, putting was pointless .

Course is currently unplayable on greens

This is sad. I have lived in South Florida for 33 years. This was the first course I ever played and it was love at first sight. Over the years it added a very nice nine and was my go to course. Until this year. For whatever reason they have let it go to pot. I do not need perfect fairways and tee boxes. But I do need greens you can putt on. Their greens are currently unplayable. There are huge dirt patches, and smaller ones all over the greens. Cutting and rolling them is out of the question. Your ball looks like a ping pong ball going to the hole. They need to close the course and redid every single green. Not one is in playable shape.

Bad greens

Greens are in terrible condition. Putting through pot holes. It’s a shame because the fairways are nice and I enjoy the course, but the greens are really bad right now.

Save your money!

The last time I played this course was five months ago and oh my God it’s a tale of two courses. It should be an automatic to put on any green that you’re on. You need a four-wheel-drive on your golf ball to manage the greens. Also, the fairways are not in great shape. Lost four balls in the middle of a fairway. Would love to get my money back but honestly don’t have the time to make the call. Plus everybody that works there was 20 years or younger. Not their fault didn’t want to put them through the grief.

Worse course EVER

The greens might as well be the bunker. Literally worse course I have EVER played at. It’s challenging and extremely poor conditions …. Horrible combo. Don’t bother
