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.

Unplayable

I took a guest. Big mistake. The course is a goner. It is impossible to putt because of the holes and bare spots on the greens. The rough had not been cut in weeks. All in all the place is a disaster. I do not think that Golf Now should not offer this course!

Greens looked like someone practiced their wedge shots on them. I played 3 holes and left. It is robbery that they are even open. Will be contacting golf now for a refund.

Unplayable

I booked a round online and showed up to play and the greens are unplayable. It looks like someone practiced wedge shots on every green. I left after 3 holes. I wish there was a way to get a refund when booked online. Do not play here

Surprised by conditions on this course, being Pembroke Pines

The course was in terrible conditions with large weeds, high grass and holes on the greens. I expected better course with million dollar homes at Gran Palms in Pembroke Pines

Really bad course

Not going to play here again. Terrible condition, can’t even putt on the greens. Course has potential but is in such bad condition they shouldn’t even have it open.

Greens look like tee boxes,

Between people using the course as a walking path, to people stealing your ball from their back yard, the worst part was the greens! They’re all torn up. They’re 80% weeds, 10% dirt. This facility in general hasn’t seen an update in 30+ years, I’d leave zero stars of I could.

The greens looked like Swiss cheese

I have played this course many times over the years , it use to be my favorite. However, I haven’t play there in a while . I was shocked to see all the early morning tee times available and I found out why. The greens were horrendous, putting was pointless .

Course is currently unplayable on greens

This is sad. I have lived in South Florida for 33 years. This was the first course I ever played and it was love at first sight. Over the years it added a very nice nine and was my go to course. Until this year. For whatever reason they have let it go to pot. I do not need perfect fairways and tee boxes. But I do need greens you can putt on. Their greens are currently unplayable. There are huge dirt patches, and smaller ones all over the greens. Cutting and rolling them is out of the question. Your ball looks like a ping pong ball going to the hole. They need to close the course and redid every single green. Not one is in playable shape.

Bad greens

Greens are in terrible condition. Putting through pot holes. It’s a shame because the fairways are nice and I enjoy the course, but the greens are really bad right now.
