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 6,724 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.

Grand Palms not what I expected

Have not played this course in some time, GREENS WERE HORRIBLE, WORST i HAVE EVER SEEN.. Fairways and tee boxes were average condition, would not recommend playing there until the greens are back to normal. Probably will take a few months many of the greens were half sand only.

Improving

Except for few greens, specially on the Sabal, which were in terrible shape, it was a nice round of golf overall.

Worse than ever

It smells. There are ants. The greens are 50% dirt. There are dead fish floating in the water. The course itself is not too interesting. The staff was nice.

WORST GREENS I EVER SEEN

The condition of the greens were the worst I have ever played on. Not one green was even playable in my opinion. If a course has playing conditions as such should inform golfers so we can decide to play the course or go somewhere else. Then it’s on the golfers if they pay to play. I think the booking agent should take some responsibility in the allowing to book tee times with these conditions. Very disappointing and I would be ashamed to say that this was a value to play the course.

Didn’t live up to the expectations

Greens were awful, it was like putting on asphalt with sand on top of it, like I wasn’t able to putt smoothly the whole round. Unless the greens improve, I will not be returning here.

Course quality

The course is in very poor condition the greens are absolutely terrible there's more sand than grass. This used to be a top course for the money now not even worth the 35.00 i paid .it needs to be closed or shut 1 course at a time and repair the greens

Fun challenge, but give it time

Nice layout, pretty well maintained - except greens. Something going on with the greens, as the really were not playable.
