About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 71
Length 6547 yards
Slope 136
Rating 71.7

Located in Pembroke Pines, picturesque Grand Palms Golf & Country Club offers three nines: Royal, Sabal and Grand. The nine-hole courses are playable in three combos, with the Sabal/Grand coming in at a 6,547 yards. Of the three, Sabal/Grand is the most helter skelter, combining the shortest and longest nines. The Grand is a tight golf course that offers a challenge for most, what with its raised greens, narrow fairways and challenging water holes. Sabal, by contrast, is a resort-style play, with a gentler game featuring generous fairways and greens.

Greens conditions

No one say the greens are in very poor conditions, I played with my cousin on Sabal and grand course and no fair green in 18 holes played. I do not recommend at this time

Bad shape, greens unplayable

Course is in very bad shape. Every single green is literally unplayable, full of weeds and dead spots. Is like they have given up.

Horrendous Greens

Impossible to putt straight due to all the dirt patches and weeds on the greens. Sabal greens are horrendous.

Course needs some Love

Tee boxes were the best thing on the course. Couldn’t really putt on the bumps on the greens. Need a little more signage and direction on which back nine to play. Course seems like it was a nice course once upon a time but now needs a little love to bring it back.

The golf course is in very bad condition

The greens were in very very bad shape. I played this course before (2018) and it was in much better condition. The fairways were decent but the greens and tee boxes were in very bad shape.

Greens? Ehhhh, maybe not.

The staff members at this course are awesome!

Unfortunately, this trait does not carry over to the course itself. The greens were the absolute worst we've ever seen. I have included one photo that is representative of their overall "quality" but could have easily added about 16 more.

Occasionally you will encounter a tee box that is in excellent condition, or a fairway that is actually plush, but I believe this is more indicative of what this course used to be rather that its current state. In its current condition this course is worth no more than $25 - $30 a round.

Needs improvement

I’ve played this course many times. Unfortunately the course is not in good condition. Fairways are inconsistent some good spots but many bad ones and the greens are in the worst conditions I’ve seen in years. Hopefully they’ll turn it around. At this time I do not recommend.

This course needs to be closed and completely refurbished

The course is not even worth the $46 we paid, course conditions were awful specially the greens which are like playing on an obstacle track

The greens look like have never been treated for weeds

Putting is a waste of time in these bad greens

Poor greens

Lovely staff, very helpful and friendly. Course layout very challenging with water in play constantly. Must be played conservatively if your drive is off The greens took the value out of it, with me wishing I had paid $20 more for nearby course in better condition. I hope the management wise up.
