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.

Decent course

This is decent golf course you can come later afternoon on weekend without reservation in advance.

The course is challenging and there are a lot of water to be aware.

Good value for the money.

Waste of money

This course should not be on golf now. I pick this course for the location. My son and grandsons were traveling from Jupiter, myself from Naples both traveling about 11/2hours.

Upon arriving at the course, no one at bag drop, sign at entrance cart paths only, upon entering the pro shop big sign”No rain checks, don’t even ask!”. Forecast was breezy from 10-3 rain afterwards. After already paying 100% on golf now I thought it was worth a try after the trip. Light rain after 7 holes, stopped for 8 & 9, began raining while on 10, needed to stop after 11. Heavy rain and wind. After returning to golf barn, no one to clean clubs, pro shop locked with sign “closed due to rain”. Couldn’t use rest room or even dry our faces.

Golf conditions poor, bare spots on course and greens. Not oboe to put. SHOULD NOT BE On GOLF NOW!!!!

Dont believe everything you read

First time visiting this club and I was a little nervous from reading recent reviews. Well...not all that bad. Yes some tee boxes were a little sandy and fairways under defined, but overall very playable! Green conditions not nearly as bad as reviews would make you think...true speeds throughout my round. Some scars from pesky Florida insects, but getting better. Single rounded the Grand and Royal 9s in under 3 hours. Clubhouse staff made,sure no one jumped in so i aporeciated their efforts.

Nice course

The course is laid out nicely, but they could really use more signage. Paths go to more than one tee box, and you aren't sure where you are going. Also, 18 holes are actually 2 different courses of 9 holes which wasn't explained at the outset. The fairways were sometimes in rough conditions, but on the whole it was a lovely day in the sun. Ice machine is great outside!

Downhill

I started my golf career on this course 30 years ago. Boy has it gone downhill since then and the cost has gone up! Bumpy slow greens, slow pace of play, and so many bare spots and raggy tee boxes. Very disappointing for $69.00. Used to love playing here but never gain unless I start seeing reviews on improved conditions. Broward doesn't have many good courses left unless you want to spend over $100 a round this time of year. Gotta go to palm beach where they can atleast grow grass and cut their greens.

East Coast versus West Coast

I was excited to leave Pennsylvania and play golf in the pompano beach area. The course in question was an average golf course when compared to the other three courses that we played similar to the other three courses, I was disappointed in the greens in that there were many bare areas. making putting more difficult than necessary. My expectations were that the course conditions would be better, and I was honestly disappointed in that

After leaving the Florida eastern coast, we traveled to Marco Island, and we’re fortunate enough to play a course in Naples that was incredibly maintained and who’s. Greens were immaculate. While the cost was double what we paid in the east, I would gladly pay that again to play a course in such excellent condition.

The courses that we played were Palm-Aire Cypress and Palm-Aire Palms and Hollywood Golf Club- Despite the conditions, we were treated well and we had fun playing this great game. If I were to visit Pompano Beach again, I think I would look to play courses in the $80-$120 per round range and hope that their conditions would be better.

In summary, remember that there is never a bad day on any golf course because it sure beats work.

David the bartender makes the course

Great course for the price compared to the competition. We honestly come back over and over for David the bartender, his music. And the bar layout. Course is good.
