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.

Still some hope

Greens still need some work. Fairways are looking a little better.

Grand palm

Good course layout. The course needs maintenance. The greens in certain areas need grass, many brown spots.. the sides of the fairway are too high and you loose balls very easy. Overall, it needs maintenance.

Worst course in South Florida

Played this course once years ago and left vowing to never give them my money again thanks to a front 9 that lasted over 3 hours. Everyone deserves a second chance, and decided to give them another try, but this time with an early morning tee time. Big mistake. After the first hole, I realized I've been got again. I would like to only say bring a pitch mark repair tool for the greens, but that's like a bringing a spoon to a construction site. I wish my dreams were as wildly optimistic as this course in calling these sandboxes a green. If we played strictly by ground under repair rules, we'd be dropping our balls straight into the hole and we'd hold a course record. Hit the fairway? Careful that "dirt" patch you landed on is a fire ant pile and you just rattled them by knocking on their door with a clear no soliciting sign.

Nobody ever likes seeing a course close for more cookie-cutter homes. But at this point it should considered cruel and unusual punishment to keep this course up.

Seriously, save your money.

Terrible conditions

Greens and in general all the golf course is in terrible conditions. No maintenance. It’s a shame because it’s a beautiful course.

Greens or Sandtrap

Grand Palms is 3, 9 hole courses, that have wide fairways and small greens. It is always a good day when you are playing golf but the unfortunately, the greens were so bad.

The greens were either patchy and missing whole sections of grass, or covered in sand and rolling the ball was an unforeseen challenge. I am normally a 10-12 handicap and golf 3x a month. These are the worst greens I’ve been on in over 30 years of playing golf. I hate to write this, but they were terrible.

From Bad to Worse

I don’t know what’s going on or what the challenges are, but don’t play Grand Palms. It was horrible for a few months, then it got a little better, and now is really bad. I don’t recommend it at all.
