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.

advantage tree... Photo submitted by cwes4art on 10/31/2012
Never again
The course conditions are outrageous and they keep charging overrated fees while “maintaining” the golf course. Ridiculous! Never go back!
Greens were in very poor conditions
Overall not a good experience. It was sad to see how bad the course has deteriorated since I last played there a few years back.
GREENS
BAD.. THEY HAVE LOST THEM..THEY GAVE ME A DISCOUNT FOR THE CONDITION B4 I WENT OUT,,
Save your money
Tee boxes aren’t well kept. Course used to be really nice but has really taken a turn for the worse. Save yourself the trouble and pick up once you get on the green because it’s like putting over dirt with a couple patches of weeds. Won’t be back unless they make some major changes
Don't waste your money
The course has no greens what so ever. All greens have barely any grass and covered with divots. The fair ways which a little better condition but still rough as well as the tee boxes. They shut down the 3rd course because issues which grass I can only imagine how bad it must but if they left the other two open in this condition. Stay away for the $50 they ask for there are way better courses around the area. It's like the place is on life support trust me stay away.. I will say staff is nice but seems like leadership is the problem there if they are allowing these type of conditions.
It’s rough around the edges
The course is in really bad maintenance condition can be so much more
They should be ashamed to charge this much!
This golf course was charging $45 a golfer for 18 holes and a cart but they put you on a course that isn’t playable! The tee boxes and fairways are fine but the GREENS ARE UNPLAYABLE! It is really like someone took a wedge and slammed it every 3 feet on every green. It isn’t even worth lining up a putt or trying. They should really be ashamed to charge that much for that bad of a course.
Nice course
Layout and condition were very nice. Only downside is the condition of the greens- however they are currently being worked on. In a week to 10 days will absolutely play there again
Lost cause
The fairways are in decent enough shape but every single green is in total disrepair, pretty sad
tight layout
12 of 18 greens were unputtable, the other 6 had major blemishes leaving my threesome in a quandry some of the holes in the green area were 4 to 5 inches wide we played the course but it was unanimous this course is out of our future!!!
Greens are trash
Don’t do it or at least ask if their greens have been repaired.
Disgusting greens
Every (18) green was unplayable. Bare spots, burnt areas, ground under repair ON THE GREENS. Shameful that they charge their regular full price and not tell you this at minimum it should be half price. You literally cannot have one putt Anywhere without a huge imperfection, changing the course of the ball even two footers
Greens in horrible shape
Course doesn’t drain well but playable tee boxes and fairways after the recent rains. Greens were disturbingly bad. Should not charge $10 to play those. And no warning from the staff. Likely not playing again all summer. Don’t know that they would get them right before after fall.
Horrible
Don't get fooled by website pics. This course is in terrible shape. Looks like they are just letting it go and may not even be here in a year or 2. Weeds and sparse or no grass everywhere including greens. Greens have huge holes all over them...like giant dead pochmarks everwhere so putting is impossible with your ball just being thrown all over the place when it hits the hundreds of divots on the green. Nothing good to say about this place.
Hard Course
Was looking forward to playing this course but my God, the greens were the worst greens I’ve ever played. Patched all over. Automatic 2 putt, or more! Everything else was good but the greens really left a sour taste in my mouth. Won’t go back until they are fixed.
Condition of greens appalling
Yes, there had been torrential rain the week before, however, the greens were unplayable because they were pockmarked with circular depressions radius 4 to 6 inches where rogue grasses of nut sedge had been poisoned by herbicides. The rain may have washed away sand and grass seed used to fill the depressions, but no-one explained that before our round. No explanations were given and no apologies offered.
We love this course, long, difficult especially for players in their eighties. And we appreciate that the rainstorms of last week the real culprit, but I do think that some explanation would have been polite.
