Royal/Sabal at Grand Palms Golf & Country Club
About
Famous for having some of the best greens in south Florida, Pembroke Pines' Grand Palms Golf & Country Club offers three nine-hole courses: Royal, Sabal and Grand. The three golf courses are played in three separate combos, with the Royal/Sabal coming in at a robust 6,847 yards from the gold tees. The golf course traverses across a landscape of tropical foliage and thick palms, providing both a challenge and a reminder of what south Florida golf has to offer. The Royal/Sabal shines with player-friendly fairways and generous greens.

maintenance
course was OK however several fairways had little to no grass. . grass pn both sides of fairway grass was so high balls were lost it was like it hadn't been cut in weeks
Worst golf course in all of Florida
This course is only worth like 20 dollars at best. The fairways are horrible and rge greens are the worst I have ever seen. I have no idea how anyone returns to this course to play a second round.
Good for price
Some greens were a little rough. Also some fairways. Staff were all very friendly. Good price to play though.
Too bad
Could be a great course.
For starters they pack both 9 nines with groups. I quit on 14 after 4 hours.
maintainance
I had been to this course several times it seems like they are starting to neglect the course ( fairways uncut ormuch thicker , greens full of weeds, some tee boxes were more dirt than grass
summer golf in south florida
one course ok one course in serious trouble grand palms is a 3-9 hole course lay out with plenty of water , one 9 was closed.
Need TLC
Course has to much potential, but it’s not maintained at all. Tee boxes are over grown; fairways are hard panned; greens are covered in bumps, divots, and weeds. Very frustrating conditions. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Aside from that, they need to revamp this course to compete with near by courses.
Grand Palms
If you wish to play a round and not care about course conditions, this is it. It used to be amazing. The course still is difficult, but the conditions are terrible. It’s a shame I would go to play for the challenge not for the Course conditions.
To far b 4 the money
The rate was very good with Golf. Now, but for the distance, I traveled from hallandale beach, we out west.The course was not up to my expectation . I generally play at a course, very close to my home. And felt that it was equally competitive. And groomed.
No bar/restaurant/lobby
The main part of east end of building has been condemned now for over a year.
Minimal refreshments in pro shop only, actually just a check in room.
If there are plans to rebuild it is taking quite a while.
Real shame theres not a chemical that can kill the spot weeds on greens without killing surrounding turf, most greens are roughly 70% turf, been playing here 30 times a year can't remember greens ever being aerated. Fairways are "meh" at best, tee boxes don't need anything special because most tee it up a little soap/bleach in ballwashers wouldn't hurt.
Staff is helpful and attentive.
Not worth it
I played this course about four years ago and it was in good condition. Played it again this time and find the course to be subpar. Definitely not worth the time or effort or money to play at this course. The fairways are rough. The greens are full of crab grass the tee boxes look like the rough, no flat surface on the tee boxes and way too much over grown grass. Overall, the course is not being taken care of. They have lots of landscape workers driving around, but not doing any work just looking at their phones and sleeping.
