About

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.

Need more maintenance

This used to be my home course, but I had not played here for almost 4 years, and I couldn't believe how poorly kept is right now., specially the greens. I hope that they can recover it soon. Its a real shame.

Terrible greens

Most greens have so many weeds, and dirt patches. Good luck making any putts. Been like this awhile. A waste of money for $55. Should be discounted to $25 due to condition of greens. Rest of course ok. They just got new cups and flagsticks though.

Just A Little TLC Required

After the first two holes of the Royal - Sabal rotation, the course, the playing conditions & the layout improve dramatically ... that is except for the greens which are being invaded by an aggressive weed. Evidently the superintendent is attempting to eradiate these weeds. In addition, several sand traps are also in need of maintenance, edging, raking etc. Should these matters be rectified, this golf course would be rated a 4-star facility.

Disappointed

Disappointed in overall condition of course. Greens had lots of weeds which made the greens to be very inconsistent. Web site talks about par view global positioning units. Our cart had none and cart was not cleaned and looked very worn.

Don’t go there!

Our day started with a starter overwhelmed and rude. When we came to the 1st tee, there was already 2 foursome. Not quality grass in the fairways, greens in bad shape. And “the cherry on the sundae”: we were waiting at each tee box so it took us 2 hours 10 minutes to play 8 holes as we stopped there when we saw that the 2 foursomes in front of us where playing together. Never again!

Greens were terrible - every one of them filled with gouging and dead spots. No way to predict any putt. Not worth the fees paid.

Disappointed

I could get by the greens had weeds in them and fringe was in bad shape. What was unacceptable was going to your 9:03 tee time and having three foursomes in front of you because they didn’t stagger the tee times. It had 3 nine holes courses. so people making the turn were interfering with our teetimes. They treated all three courses like having their own identity. No time built-in for people making the turn and when we went to start our second nine we had three groups in front of us again all of them saying that this was their front nine. I asked the attendant what was going on and he said they’re just trying to make money that’s a quote we quit after 17 holes 5 1/2 hours later.

Six-some

I can’t believe they put me “a double” behind a six-some. Not only they were super slow, but one player was coaching another; talk about zero etiquette, horrible experiences.
