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.

Underwhelming!

1970's course and amenities that could use an investment!

At a resort course you expect for golf course workers to great you at the bag drop and load you onto carts...we had to carry our bags to the starters booth.

Many greens have fungus albeit being addressed. We had an 11am tee time and first 6 holes had uncut, furry greens. Slow greens.

Fairways were decent. Rough was typical for a public, Florida course.

Overall, better than being in the office but an underwhelming experience and more like a $40-$50 course!

5/10

This course has very tight fairways for the slope rating. There is water that comes into play on most holes. The greens are normally in good condition. Best part of this course is the drainage.

Horrible experience

The golf course was very poor especially for what they charged. I picked up friends at the airport and expected to get a breakfast sandwich at the course. They did not have any. I went to the half way house thinking I could get something there and only candy bars and some cookies. I ask if we could get a hot dog at the turn -girl said she would put some on—when we got here they had NONE-she said she put 4 on and sold them to someone else. She had one sandwich and that was it. Overall a horrible experience—-I would never recommend anyone to go there

Slow pace of play

We had à twosome in front us and two single players cut in ahead of us ! The problem was that these four players refused to join together to create a foursome ! Resulting in a slow round of golf. Why the starter let single players thrue instead of matching players is beyond me!! And NO RANGERS !!

Common sense needed

If I’m playing with foursome, I would let twosome or less go ahead of us. If they wait every tee up. This foursome made us wait 10 minutes every tee up. There was nobody in front of the them. First 9 holes took us 2:30 hours. 2nd 9 we finished in 60 minutes. Where is the courtesy? This course is ok, not the best course I ever play but is ok with the price.
