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.

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Everything is outdated here.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.

Nice course

Played this course and really enjoyed it. The water on the course wasn’t hidden so I could see where I needed to avoid it. Course was in good shape but I found the greens a bit slow. Course layout was OK but there were back to back par 3’s on one 9. This is a good course and would play again

Fun course

Played the Sable and the Royal I believe. There’s a bit of water but nothing to crazy that it comes into play more then it should. Course was fun to play and in good conditions. Greens were a bit slow but good shape. The Royal was really nice but back to back par 3’s was a bit much. Only issue I really had here. Great round and we’ll worth the $30

Deteriorated a lot

Have been playing this course for awhile and it has being deteriorating gradually, the greens aren't well kept, they have stopped maintaining the fairways, they still cut them but that's all. Overall the course is still playable and fun with all the challenges but I've seen it in much better condition

Needs lots of work

I live on the west coast and those courses put this one to shame. Was not worth the $60. It is more like a $45 course and no more. Clubhouse/bar/ restaurant was really run down. Looks like they are trying to fix up the course but have a long way to go.

Good not great

Greens need some love. Most of them are fine but there’s a few with some problems that definitely make putting impossible from certain areas.

No ranger

At hole 2 there 6 golfers on the tee box. We were 2 so I asked if we could play through and we were told no We we’re not happy but whatever

Took 2 hours 20 minutes

At the turn they left obviously it was they’re back 9

Our second 9 took 80 minutes since we saw no other people

When we finished we brought our complaint to the starter who said that more than a foursome is not allowed and apologized since there were no rangers out due to lack of staff since it was off season

Kudos to the grounds keepers

Course is making a come back after three years of abuse ( aka covid. ) wondering what can be done on green were weeds are killed, weed reamerge before turf can fill the space? Most fairways are mostly turf, tee boxes,,, who cares,,,, most of us tee up. It is a shame this course has no beverage cart.
