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.

Average course to play.

Greens need much work and TLC.

The course could be a Florida premier but it just seems like who ever is managing it Wants to just get by. Price for course conditions should be no more than $25. Staff and starters are very good. I think it’s time to sell the course to a good management company or the city of Pembroke Pines. And make it a great course it has great potential!!

The Greens where terrible

It was sad to see there was no water on the course the bar wasn't opened at all no restaurant no cart girl. Just water at the start.

I probably will not be going back .

Hope you make the improvements that the course needs

Enjoyable Round

First time playing this course. The starter (sorry, didn't catch his name) was FABULOUS! Our group had gotten split during booking, and he magically got us put back together! Course conditions were's fabulous, but were fine. Greens were a bit weak, with spotty grass issues. We loved the layout, with many fun and challenging holes. Well worth our time, and we all enjoyed the round. Outdoor food tent at finish was a nice touch!

needs work

This place was much better a few years ago but right now it needs a lot of care. I just paid $75 for a round and I don't believe it was worth it

Grand palms

Course is awful. Can’t believe this is an actually resort people visit. Pace of play was non existent. Waited easily 6 -7 minutes between every shot. Conditions were terrible. The biggest waste of $72 I’ve ever spent, I would’ve rather lost the money or even just thrown it away.

Played the Sabal and the Grand. Fairway and greens on Sabal need a lot of attention. Greens on Sabal unplayable in areas on a few holes. The Grand was in better shape. Because this was my first time playing this course, I would try it again to expand my opinion. All in all it was a good experience.

The greens

The greens are in very poor condition, in that part they have neglected maintenance a lot. As long as they continue like this I don't plan to return. I'm sorry

Enjoyable course

This course is fun to play. There is lots of room on the fairway although there is a bit of water you have to avoid. The greens are well groomed but a few had bare spots. Unfortunately, the day was windy. I will play here again and can recommend Royal Palms to others.
