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.

Greens 9/10, everything else 6/10

Nice and consistent greens, but average fairway/rough/sand conditions. Pace of play particularly bad that day, but usually not an issue. Much improved.

Good for the money

You can’t beat $40 especially in South Florida. I was a bit reserved as some of these least expensive courses are in such bad shapes but I was very happy to see the greens in the shape they were. Could the fairway better? Yes. Could the rough areas be better? Yes, but the greens were great and that was big and for $40, yes I’ll play it again.

Course and pro shop needs renovation.

This course has a lot of potential to be a top location to play at.. The greens and tee boxes are getting better but still needs improvements in order to compete with other golf courses in the area. . I walked in the pro shop and immediately noticed the air conditioning barely kept the shop cold / cool. Pro shop just seems outdated and needs TLC.

Do Not Waste Your Money

This was by far the worst round of golf i have ever had. The course just was completely neglected. No rangers going around to monitor pace of play. We finsihed out 0825 tee time at 1430. Groups somehow are inept and cut in front. The grass was not cut at all, you could not find your ball on the fairway, not the rough, the fairway.

Don't waste your money, only good part is the grass driving range but that was horrendous too.

So Disappointed

I booked a Golf teatime on Golf Now, drove 40 minutes to play at grand Palms only to have the door shut in my face due to the course closing because of rain. When I called Golf Now, they said the course should take care of it when I called the next day to speak to Jack the manager, he said because my teatime didn’t cost me any money to hold the reservation, there was nothing that he could do. I was on the fence about trying this course, but the customer service I received as assured that I will never be back nor never recommend this course to serious golfers.

Hope it was worth it, Jack.

Fairways and tee boxes in rough condition

The fairways looked a lot like the rough at other courses and it was very difficult to find your ball because of the grass height. The tee boxes were also just short regular grass but the pace and greens were reasonable.

Awful customer service

Put on Golf Now as I have never played here before. Drove 40 minutes to play and when I got to the clubhouse, they told me the course was closing due to rain.

Golf Now said they weren’t informed by the course that they were closing and I just got off the phone with Pete the manager and he said there was nothing they could do. All I wanted was a complementary round or nine holes or something for my inconvenience. Instead, I got, “there’s nothing we can do “.

If this is the way they treat would be customers, I’ll take my business elsewhere .

needs maintenance

Overall course is fairly good, but the greens were patchy in many places, plus the rough on fairway edges was very overgrown needing to be cut as you could hardly find a ball when it went into rough just off fairway
