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.

Rough

Gentleman I played with lives on the course and he barely plays here. If a deal not offered, even with a deal, probably not worth the price. Greens are in very poor condition. They need to phase closing 9 holes at a time and renovate. At least Royal and Sabal. Did not play the other 9

Extremely disappointed!

I don’t ask for much when it comes golf courses, but it is sad how this course has taken a turn for the worse. Can’t understand how a city like Pembroke Pines with so much money don’t invest along with the course on bringing it back. There’s no way to putt and the grass is terrible. SOS for this course, it’s not worth the $45 plus! 🤨

Without exaggerating and sounded too harsh, horrible course. First off, the starter was as rude as humanly possible and there was absolutely no one there so he couldn’t have had that busy of a morning. May well have just putted on a gravel road. All of the greens are littered with bare spots of grass. Not even sand, just dirt. Ball bounces everywhere. Not only this, fairways were a mess, tee boxes aren’t even tee boxes. For $50 I’d save you the stress. Better courses available for half the price. Makes sense why I was the only one on the course.

Awful course

Greens look like they got hit by meteorite. Course might as well just be a driving range.

Horrible Course

This was one of the worst golf courses I have played in my entire life. I am appalled that they even charged people to play with the conditions. I could not tell the difference between the bunkers and the greens. The grass was 4 inches deep. Good luck finding your ball. Its either in sand somewhere or gone forever. I am not one to leave reviews but this course is an absolute embarrassment to golf.

Worst Course Ever

This course was at a resort and the expectation was a decent course to play on, the fairways were horrible, bumpy and lots of ridges and valleys, potholes even. Worst yet the greens on both Royal and Sable were worst than the fairway, could not get the ball to roll. This course should be closed to the public.

Booked with golf now and cart was included, but pro shop manager didn't honor the cart because I wanted my partner to drive, I didn't have my license. She had to pay for a cart. Didn't even offer a rider's fee.

Horrible course and horrible service.
