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.

Needs improvement

I’ve played this course many times. Unfortunately the course is not in good condition. Fairways are inconsistent some good spots but many bad ones and the greens are in the worst conditions I’ve seen in years. Hopefully they’ll turn it around. At this time I do not recommend.

This course needs to be closed and completely refurbished

The course is not even worth the $46 we paid, course conditions were awful specially the greens which are like playing on an obstacle track

The greens look like have never been treated for weeds

Putting is a waste of time in these bad greens

Poor greens

Lovely staff, very helpful and friendly. Course layout very challenging with water in play constantly. Must be played conservatively if your drive is off The greens took the value out of it, with me wishing I had paid $20 more for nearby course in better condition. I hope the management wise up.

Nice course layout and very friendly people

I played Grand and Royal for the second time and love the course layout and most holes. The starters are super friendly and I was joining a twosome, which was great fun to play with. The course is not easy with a lot of (water) hazards. Only a few greens are in a very bad condition. I like this place and would always come back!

Just don't waste your money.

This place shouldn't even be open. If you want to spend $20 for some fresh air and a golf cart ride great. If you are going for golf or a good experience just don't.

Greens Nearly Unplayable

I have played this course for years. I love the layout, but whatever is going on lately with the condition of their greens is making the course near unplayable. The greens on this course used to be excellent. I am not looking for Augusta National, but they have reached a point where they are like putting in the parking lot. It’s a shame because the course has three nines that are a great layout, but with the condition of the greens putting is not skill as much as where the ball bounces. The course needs to be closed, the greens redone and brought back to their former glory.

Nice course layout with lots of water

Nice course to play at a very competitive rate compared to many overpriced courses around Miami. A few greens are in very bad shape, but the course is interesting to play. Had a great threesome flight with two great guys from the area. The only bad thing that nobody came out for 5 holes (!) to fix a bad connection at my cart, which I had to regularly fix myself (at the batteries under the seat). Apparently the pro shop never told the starters that we had called for a replacement. I still enjoyed a great round of golf thanks to the course and my flight.

Just Don’t!

I don’t usually write reviews but the condition of this course is a crime. It’s never been an A1 course but this is ridiculous! Greens are a mess! Weeds, sand, bald spots that look like divots! I just don’t have the words. If you are just practicing and trying to stay away from the wife it’s fine for $20. If you have been playing more then 6 weeks just save your money.
