About

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.

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.

Not worth the price - greens are unplayable.

I’ve played this course many times in the past and the green conditions are absolutely unplayable. Almost every green had an incredible amount of bumps and patches over the entire green. The fairways were smoother than the greens. Unless the tee time is $20 it is not worth playing here. It’s a shame because the practice grounds are good and the layout is fine, but expect to give give yourself a 2 putt and pick up on every hole. Grand Palms should fix these greens and offer huge discounts if they want anyone to play here again.

Nice layout AWFUL greens

I cant believe the Royal course is not closed. The greens are unplayable. And when you pay for the round, they dont tell you about the extremely poor conditions of the greens.

Wont go there again, and its a shame, because the layout of the course is very nice.

Terrible greens

This course should not be open to the public, the greens on the Sable are burned, no grass left on many, Too bad, it use to be ok last year but now, please avoid at all cost until the greens are fixed.

Greens need love

After paying $35 deposit, I was charged full price to play. I did book the wrong date. I called first thing in the morning and corrected the date on the reservation. However, no new confirmation could be sent and the attendant had no idea about my situation but had my tee time ready.

Terrible!!!!!

We had 5 player's group in front of us.

They took 20-25 minutes every hole so

We called to pro shop.

The lady who was there said

“”We don’t have any problems with that “ Because no policy here.

So next time we are going to make a tee time 10 players in one group then!!!!

I used to golf here in the early 2000's and it was not a disaster. I spoke to other golfers and they said that they agreed it was a titanic. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!!!!!!! EVEN THE PRO SHOP IGNORED ME EXCEPT THE THIN SPANISH BLONDE GUY STOCKING THE COCONUT WATERS!!!! ONLY ONE THAT SAID Hello!! How are you???? WELL NEVER AGAIN!!

Good for the money

I played here for $29 and that was a good deal. The greens were a bit spotty on some holes but for $29 this wasn’t an issue for me. The Sable course was challenging on the stretch from hole 4-6. Tight landing areas with lots of water. Overall I was happy for $29
