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.

Course in great shape - except greens

Fairways, rough and tee boxes in fine shape. Greens were unplayable. Bare spots more than grass.

Great day out on a challenging course.

Check in was very simple and staff was very friendly. Unfortunately the greens were in very rough shape making the putting difficult. All other areas of course were quite good. Pace of play was a little slow at time as there were no marshals from what we observed. We would definitely play this course again in the greens were in better condition.

Nice Course.

The tee boxes and fairways are in great shape. The greens are terrible. But the overall course is great. I guess the greens got some kind of fungus and were basically destroyed. I think they are working on restoring them.

Good bones. Awful complexion

This course @ bare bones has great potential however, the geeens…my god the GREENS are God awful!! On 17 out of 18 holes you’re putting on more sand than grass. Completely unacceptable and unplayable.
