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.

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.

Quite possibly the worst course I have ever played. Course should not be opened until greens are somewhat playable. .

Save your money

Tee boxes aren’t well kept. Course used to be really nice but has really taken a turn for the worse. Save yourself the trouble and pick up once you get on the green because it’s like putting over dirt with a couple patches of weeds. Won’t be back unless they make some major changes

Don't waste your money

The course has no greens what so ever. All greens have barely any grass and covered with divots. The fair ways which a little better condition but still rough as well as the tee boxes. They shut down the 3rd course because issues which grass I can only imagine how bad it must but if they left the other two open in this condition. Stay away for the $50 they ask for there are way better courses around the area. It's like the place is on life support trust me stay away.. I will say staff is nice but seems like leadership is the problem there if they are allowing these type of conditions.

They should be ashamed to charge this much!

This golf course was charging $45 a golfer for 18 holes and a cart but they put you on a course that isn’t playable! The tee boxes and fairways are fine but the GREENS ARE UNPLAYABLE! It is really like someone took a wedge and slammed it every 3 feet on every green. It isn’t even worth lining up a putt or trying. They should really be ashamed to charge that much for that bad of a course.

Nice course

Layout and condition were very nice. Only downside is the condition of the greens- however they are currently being worked on. In a week to 10 days will absolutely play there again

12 of 18 greens were unputtable, the other 6 had major blemishes leaving my threesome in a quandry some of the holes in the green area were 4 to 5 inches wide we played the course but it was unanimous this course is out of our future!!!
