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.

Could be better

Nice course that I have played before. Greens and tees could be better. Sand traps need a bit of work but that's not unusual.

Sabal 9

The Sabal 9 is not in great condition. Grand 9 was in better conditions. Fairways and greens were in fine shape but bunkers are full of rocks and ruff is 95% weeds.

This course is fine.

Some tee off need new grass. And some green need maintain. The cups weren’t nice that day and were not replaced. Maybe after the heavy rain we had some days ago. Hope they fix it for my next game.

Good hole, bad conditions

Grand Palms is a you-know-what-you’re-getting course. The conditions are on par with the price. Hole layouts are interesting and fun. Better conditions would drive up rating tremendously. But the mixed/poor grass, muddy tracks, terrible bunkers, etc drag it down. Greens were fair/slow. On course bar/lounge is the strangest such bar I’ve ever seen in a golf course. Would rather go to a dive bar.

OK conditions

I have been playing at Grand Palms for over 20 years and it’s about time they renovate the golf course. Weekend rate is around $65, overpriced. The greens are ok, with many greens having sand patches repairs. The bunkers are ok. The fairways could be better. Tee boxes are not good. I would still recommend for a round closer to home.

The cat came back

After playing this course the previous week I came back to play it again. It’s great value for your money. Even though it’s in the city/town it doesn’t feel like the homes/resort are on top of you at all. This course has a ton of great visuals and I think it’s a great bargain! Just wish the greens were a bit faster because the course is really fun to play

Rundown Neighborhood Course

Everything is outdated here. It's a 3 9-hole course with narrow fairways and plenty of water hazards. The green conditions are OK with some patches of weeds and the speeds are average. Ant mounds are everywhere throughout the course. These ants can sting you very badly if you step on one of the mounds. Ask me how I know it. This could be a painful course for those who have accuracy issues.
