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.

Needs work!

I gave this course a 3 but it could easily be a 4 or 5 with some work. Greens are good. The fairways are bumpy, rough and full of weeds. T boxes need seed. The course is not very marked a few holes were missing directional signs. Some holes are several hundred yards apart, wouldn’t want to walk this course. My cart was good, very fast. The bar and grill was closed due to lack of staff but they offered snacks, beer and other beverages at the club house. Overall a good experience but it could be so much more.

Grand Palms should do better

Bad - Needs attention on watering. Fairways are dry.. some days it's over watered near the greens. Need to yellow rope of more areas. Drivers are driving to close to the greens carving out sections in the ground (#4 Sabal). Ball washers are there but no water in them. All tee box markers were not put in place..

The greens have grown out nicely.. All 3, nine holes are a fun layout.. Staff is great. Good practice area..

Much improved

Last time I played, the course was nice, but the greens were cratered and unplayable. This has since been resolved, and it was a very pleasant round.

What a change

This course was so bad 8-10 months ago! Pleasant surprise to see the greens being reinstated. Still work in progress, although 80%-90% there. Greens a little fuzzy and I mowed, presumably to allow new grass to mature, but overall a huge improvement.

Tee boxes now also getting attention, and fairways needing some TLC but you can see improvements.

Whoever is making a difference at this course, job well done, I hope you’re allowed to complete your mission.
