The worst conditions ever seen

This course is part of the So. Fla. Premier Card.

They should consider removing it from their list of other worthy courses.

The condition of the greens were horrible. Actually unplayable.

It wouldn’t have been so bad if they had given us a “ heads up” when I booked (for 16 players), or when we checked in, or if the starter had said something, but they didn’t.

An advance warning would have gone a long way towards customer service, but obviously they don’t know what that means.

It will take months for this course to become playable again. The low cost didn’t equal the condition which made this the worst replaying conditions I’ve ever experienced.

DO NOT PLAY HERE!

Garbage

One of the worst golf course I have played in a long time. The Cross Bronx Expressway is smoother than the greens here: full of weeds, disease, and bare spots. Garbage strewn throughout the roughs and ponds. The only thing "Grand" about this place is the disappointment.

The worst

I've played this course several times in the past, but have not played here for a while.

Of the three (9 hole) courses, one was closed and the other two have the worst greens I have ever experienced. The course is in horrible condition. I have no idea what happened, but don't bother booking this one.

Too bad they are letting this course go to Sh.....

This Golf Course has an amazing layout. Too bad they are not maintaining the golf course. The greens are horrible and it seems management is doing every effort to kill this golf course. I would not even pay 10 bucks to play this course. I used to like the course, but it seems that the course is heading the same direction as the Resort is (a sh... Hole). :-(

Course Conditions Terrible with Thieves Roaming the Course

I have played this course numerous times being a South Florida Resident and I have never seen the course conditions this bad. I mean Im not sure how you can justify charging someone to play on the course the way it is. Greens were all dead and looked like Leopard Spots on all of them. The fairways were a little better then the greens but not much more. The tee boxes were rough and looked similar to the greens. You would think the Pro Shop would inform the customers about the course conditions before sending them out but not even a heads up or why the course was in the shape it was. To top off the day, on the last hole i dropped my head cover in the middle of the fairway and realized it when we were up at the green. As we were getting ready to head back to retrieve it, a random person in what looked like a member or custom golf cart zoomed by us going in the opposite direction and scooped up my head cover and took off. We chased him for 2 holes screaming, whistling and yelling at him to stop he never did. With no luck of him stopping, he made a sharp turn onto the Public Road and darted off the course and was gone. I am so disappointed in the course and more so at the fact that the course allows Thieves to roam around and steal peoples belongings. Unless something drastically changes to this course, this will be the last time i ever play Grand Palms.

Course needs to be close for a year

I’ve been playing golf for the last 25 years and this is the worst condition course I’ve ever played. The conditions were horrible. It has 27 holes in every single green with damaged of course needs to be shut down for a year for repairs.

Worst greens EVER

We have played here a few times over the last two years and the course just gets worse and worse. Today the greens were horrendous and should be considered unplayable. We paid $35 for the twilight tee time however based on the conditions of the greens I wouldn’t even say it is worth that cost. I like the course layout is great and it would be a nice course if it was in better condition, won’t be playing here again for atleast 6 months. Such a shame. Attached is a photo of the greens (incase you can’t see what it is!)

Unplayable

Greens are unplayable. The course doesn’t seem to drain well as it was soaked and all we had was a light morning shower overnight. The first tee box and fairway were overgrown but filled so I can’t say much there but the greens are destroyed. My wife and I got a refund after seeing this hole And the staff told us that all the Green are not puttable. They told us when we were asking for a refund and not before. I can’t imagine this course being an option for several months that it’s current state.

Needs Improvement!

The course is ok. Looks visually nice. There are no maps or hazards displayed. You can not visually see the pond hazards in several areas. You loose a lot of balls because of this. The greens are way too wet and are brown and lumpy. Hard to gauge the speed. The course needs much needed improvement.

Horrible greens conditions

I'm disappointed Golfnow has this golf course on there list, I expected more. The condition of the greens on the course are horrible, in fact unplayable. There is not one green in good condition, seems this course does not have a greens keepers , I'm surprised it's still open.

The staff does their best to attend to you , but this course should be shut down until they repair the course.

NOT THE SAME COURSE

This used to be my favorite course, I wouldn’t recommend this course to anyone for multiple reasons.

1. Terrible Greens

2. Fees don’t go to fixing the course

3. Employees are saying the owner does not want to pay for upkeep and likes to keep the money instead.

!!DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COURSE!!!
