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.

3 course choices

The course layout was great.

Course condition was okay.

Pace was good. We did have a slow twosome in front of us who didn't let us play through but they did a different back nine.

Had a good time.

Club rentals were not a good club selections.

Will come back, however…

Course requires improvement. They allow rookies to play therefore slowing down pace. Great layout yet challenging.

Great course

The green's fairways and bunkers are in good condition. The last time I played here was 20 years ago. It was nice then and nice now. Coming back in May, can’t wait.

A little busy, but great course

We loved playing grand palms. The driving range is a great warm up, and the course was challenging but not super long. We did get stuck in a bit of a train for the front 9, but pace seemed to pick up on the back nine. Overall we will definitely be back

Nothing “Grand” about this course

This course is in really rough shape. Course had a lot of potential just needs an owner who cares and is willing to invest

Not worth what you pay for - Not best condition

To me personally it is not worth up to $70 for a early tee time. Tee boxes are is fair-poor condition, Fairways are bland and the rough alongside is not well kept. Bunkers are in no kept up with and nothing to sweep it. Greens are ok, not much break into them and kept in fair conditions. Only tee box that look good was the 18 hole on Royal.

For $49 this is a good course. It was a fun and enjoyable round. This course doesn’t get the credit it deserves
