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.

Course does not give credit when they close the course

The manager shut the course down due to rain. I asked him for a credit for the remaining back nine that was not played because of the manager closing the course due to rain. Manager stated the course had a no refund policy. I explained that I just wanted a credit for the nine holes we couldn’t play dude to the manager closing the course and he refused.

I recommend playing at another course that takes into account customers getting what they paid for.

Great Narrow Course

For a new golfer, this course was a bit tough but fun. The shop is small but friendly staff. Gonna practice a bit more and come back to improve my score.

course needs work

Fairways are good, but many of the greens need a lot of work. Patches of sand and dead grass.

Good for the money

I was looking for a course to play while on vacation and came across this course and selected it because of the great deal on the green fees. Now I understand why it was such a great deal. It’s an older property. The “club house” wasn’t open when we arrived at 9:30 for a 10am tee time(it didn’t open until 11). No cart person either so it was a struggle on the front 9 in the Florida heat. Course layout was decent, a good mix of challenging and moderate holes. A lot of the tee boxes were less than desirable. Pace of play was great…didn’t see anyone until hole 7. All in all, if you are looking for a “cheap” (cheaper green fees than most in the area) practice round before you go to an all around nicer course, it’s worth it.

End of the Good Times

Started playing here a year ago, and what a change the management made from one year to the next. This course has become completely unplayable. How do you start at 7:30am and get severely backed up at the back 9…both back 9’/s! I would rave about this place when it was a great bang for your buck. It’s unfortunate how this course has fallen.

Great course and experience after throwing a dart at a map. The course was in great shape considering how much rain South Florida has been getting. The greens were true and fair. I’d play their again when on vacation.

Greens were in great shape.

Course was in good condition for as much rain as we have had over last 2 weeks, and the greens were in excellent shape.

Royal Sabal combo 9

The good : Adequately maintained id say the course is three notches better to similar priced courses in the area. Greens were average speed and rolled true, and fairways and tee boxes were fine. The Bad: pace of play was some 5 hours. I felt they coulda done something about that. Also there was no beverage cart on the course. There were a couple of water stations, but with the heat index above 100 degrees that was a miss.

Very nice course for the money. The 4th hole is really hard. Otherwise, it's a course we play once or twice a month.

Great course.. Great condition!

Played Royal then Sabal and both courses are in excellent shape! The fairways are well manicured and the greens are rolling true. Can't wait to play the other 9 the grand! Refreshing to see clubs taking care of their courses. It was a joy to play. Shot 78 also!
