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.

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.

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!
