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.

Finally trimming overgrown trees and shrubs

Only reason greens don't have time to regrow is empty heads not fixing ball marks and dragging their lazy feet, most of which probably are members thinking they are above it. Same on fairways, my golf partner and I are always filling two or three divots each, it is aggravating seeing a 6 inch divots just left. All fairways themselves are mostly turf. Tee boxes are irrelevant because most tee up. It would not hurt to put a sandbox with scoop on all par three whites.

Grand Palms

Starter sends out a 5 some (course members) ahead of my group of 3 and says that because they have 5 carts we will never see them. We saw them on every hole.

Had to wait literally every shot.

Course not well maintained for the price they are charging in the off season

Will not be going back anytime soon.

Nice layout needs TLC

I always end up asking why MD golf courses don’t make a drive for memberships so the raise the funds needed to improve overall conditions. Nice lay out and facilities but clearly run down and no better future.

Nice Course but Dreadful Staff

The course was actually OK but the staff are the worst we have ever experienced in all the time we have been visiting Florida from The UK.

The welcome from Erica in the pro shop was non existent.

The course was exceptionally quiet and yet they still insisted on ripping us off to the tune of $25 for my wife to ride alongside me as a non player.

Costas, the apparent manager, showed no interest whatsoever in creating goodwill.

We shall never return.

Beware !!

Nice course. Greens were fast but in good condition.

We were behind an extremely slow, deliberate foursome that we eventually drove our cart past to the next hole to skp them.

The course as whole shows evidence of improvement

I for one think at least one sand box/scoop on the par 3's would give players the opertunity to help keep the boxes in better shape.

The fairways, though small are mostly turf and the surrounding area being a mix of grasses are kept cut down as such no balls are lost.

This course is winning the war on weeds infuriating the greens, mostly when bare spots show up they are covered with that green sand (are seeds mixed in that sand?).
