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.

Poor conditions…..not worth the price.

Embarrassing conditions. No excuses. Conditions should be reflect in the price. In this case, they should pay you for playing the golf course.

Fair Cost

Some greens are in not so great shape. The price is worth the value in the area. Be ready for slow groups. Most will let you play through

Bad greens

I have played this course every year for the past 10 years. I love the layout, but in the past 3-4 years, they have been letting go on the maintenance. The greens are awful with many spots with no grass at all. The staff is not very interested in helping you, and the starter has let a group of two insert beetween the group in front of us and our group at the turn. The cart girl had no food (sandwiches), only snacks and lots of boose...

Please, it is not too late if you want to make this course great again...

Greens were unplayable. Would roll a putt and it would bounce more than chips.

Getting better

The course is in much better condition than October when I was last here

It still needs serious work but it is now playable

If you are picky go elsewhere

I am glad to see that they are trying

Worst Greens ever

Good course at a reasonable price, but the greens are in very bad condition, so much so that the course should be closed, impossible to make a putt in less than 4 strokes inside the green

Greens and Groups

The greens continue to be in very bad shape! They should close one of the courses get all the greens Reddy reopened and then close another course until the greens are all done.

This course has no Marshall so there is no course management or rushing people along. Also the groups of fives and sixes in front of us hard to get in 18 holes with that.
