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.

Neglect

Greens are neglected. Courses overall continue to degrade. Paying anything over $35 a round is robbery.

Extremely Bad Greens and Poor Off-Course Amenities

The 18 greens in these two 9-hole courses are in terrible shape. They have big portions of it with no grass and just dirt and the parts that do have grads are full of grass sprouts that are not the type you expect on a putting green. Needless to say that despite having a good game, putting was made more difficult by these conditions.

The 19th Hole was managed by a lady that does noy like her job or is in a bad mood and poor manners. Not only that, on a Friday, she closed the bar and left around 3 pm, when the course closes at 6 pm and there were a lot of players still in the course.

I paid high season prices (green fee) and did not get a good return for it.

One and Done!

No golf attendants upon arrival. 11am tee time, first six greens were uncut, very fuzzy and slow. Several greens and tee boxes in poor condition. 1970's facility that needs significant TLC. Had fun but this course is a one & done for me and my golf buddies! More like a $40 course.

Dog Track

This is the worst course I've played in memory.

From start to finish it's in shockingly poor condition...garbage all over the place, fungus or damage on 100% of the greens, weeds everywhere and absolutely zero course maintenance evident. We even saw an employee drive a cart across the tee box on one of the holes. Based on the layout I imagine it was a gem at some point but I wouldn't put even a day 1 beginner player on this dog track.

And to whoever gave this place a good review recently I highly suspect you're affiliated in some way with this dump...very uncool to do that to fellow golfers.

the $58 fee was approx. $58 too much.

and I almost forgot, the girl in the restaurant was rude and unfriendly. No food available beyond snacks to start (way overpriced for beer and snacks) and, at the turn, they only had 2 hotdogs left...this place screamed "we don't care"

Sabal course is bad, avoid it

The fairways were okay but the greens were terrible on the Sabal course. Comparatively the Grand course was decent and the greens were thick but puttable at least ...
