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.

Fire Ants out of control

I have played this course for years. Unfortunately I have seen it decline due to improper maintenance. There are fire Ants everywhere. I took a friend visiting from Michigan and he was badly eaten by the fire Ants. Unacceptable.

Slow Play

We had a 900 tee time, had us starting on the same course as others making the turn. Had the same experience as we made the turn. 51/2 hour round that s too long even for a Saturday. No ranger on the course to maintain play.

Nice

We had a great round. Some of the holes were a little confusing, but we figured it out. Decent conditions. Overall, would definitely play there again.

Excellent Layout bad turf

If you have suffered enough tough condition courses, well this one is for you! Spotty turf is fairly normal in places, this is more than average and definitely enough to make you question your choice of courses, but if that was removed the layout is actually very challenging and interesting: The staff are awesome and have options for a few nice cold ones of all varieties. Just get them at the start or turn and you’re all good. A reasonable value all told and good chops to get you ready for that Orange Monster course!

Nice Layout…but…

Not every course can be managed for perfection and within budget. Weed control was lacking as was obvious in a few places, but most areas have adequate mixed turf to create a playing surface that is at least playable, and most greens were about average for health and some better than others. Sand was degrading but playable- mixed with dirt and firmish compared to most white sand. The layout is certainly a challenge, fairly narrow and penal but playable. Add wind and you have plenty of challenge. I suggest you play a winter type of rule and move the ball a couple club lengths or to decent turf to enjoy the layout at least.

Underwhelming

For a resort course it was poorly maintained. More weeds than grass but the staff was excellent in the pro shop, bar and rangers. Could be way better if kept up but not worth the price for the quality.

They have let it go down

It’s a golf complex with nice layout and great location, that could be very good. No doubt it’s a residential course as it moves through the neighborhood at every hole.

Unfortunately it has been let go down big time and the conditions are a big let down

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.
