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.

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!!!!

More Disgusting Every Year

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

I expected better

Best part about palms is the staff glad they brought back the Puerto Rican starter. He’s the best! And a vet! Course is alright T boxes nothing special but the green are terrible. Better off just counting it as a two put because 3 foot puts have to navigate tough terrain.

Good value and not crowded.

Greens have lots of weeds so if you are serious may not be the course for you.

It’s a Shame.

This golf course is being run down. The pace of play is horrible no one there monitoring or helping groups stuck behind very slow play move those players along. I understand that not everyone plays at the same level but golf ettics you let faster players through especially when there is no one in front of you. The greens are in horrible condition and have yet to play that course and see someone working on it. There are 3 nines so don’t understand why they don’t close one nine to fix it. Then move on to the next. I will never play there again unless some changes are made. There are very few good golf courses in south Florida left. Used to be some great golf courses not anymore.

Course was in good shape with one exception. Greens were terrible. Pock marked. Hard to get a decent roll. Would not play again until greens are fixed.
