Royal/Sabal at Grand Palms Golf & Country Club

Most greens have so many weeds, and dirt patches. Good luck making any putts. Been like this awhile. A waste of money for $55. Should be discounted to $25 due to condition of greens. Rest of course ok. They just got new cups and flagsticks though.

All greens were in terrible condition. Filled with dry spots, gouges, weeds/plugs. Unable to putt reliably.

After the first two holes of the Royal - Sabal rotation, the course, the playing conditions & the layout improve dramatically ... that is except for the greens which are being invaded by an aggressive weed. Evidently the superintendent is attempting to eradiate these weeds. In addition, several sand traps are also in need of maintenance, edging, raking etc. Should these matters be rectified, this golf course would be rated a 4-star facility.

Disappointed in overall condition of course. Greens had lots of weeds which made the greens to be very inconsistent. Web site talks about par view global positioning units. Our cart had none and cart was not cleaned and looked very worn.

Our day started with a starter overwhelmed and rude. When we came to the 1st tee, there was already 2 foursome. Not quality grass in the fairways, greens in bad shape. And “the cherry on the sundae”: we were waiting at each tee box so it took us 2 hours 10 minutes to play 8 holes as we stopped there when we saw that the 2 foursomes in front of us where playing together. Never again!

Greens were terrible - every one of them filled with gouging and dead spots. No way to predict any putt. Not worth the fees paid.

I could get by the greens had weeds in them and fringe was in bad shape. What was unacceptable was going to your 9:03 tee time and having three foursomes in front of you because they didn’t stagger the tee times. It had 3 nine holes courses. so people making the turn were interfering with our teetimes. They treated all three courses like having their own identity. No time built-in for people making the turn and when we went to start our second nine we had three groups in front of us again all of them saying that this was their front nine. I asked the attendant what was going on and he said they’re just trying to make money that’s a quote we quit after 17 holes 5 1/2 hours later.

I can’t believe they put me “a double” behind a six-some. Not only they were super slow, but one player was coaching another; talk about zero etiquette, horrible experiences.

A good place to get a round in, when you need a tee time… problem is that lately, they overbook and play is slow.

The course is enjoyable, but some of the greens have weeds, or areas in disrepair, but unless you have a handicap below 15, it shouldn’t be an issue.
