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.

Easy old school golf club

Nobody at bag drop little confusing to find your way around. Fairways where just cut and good condition except a few feet here or there, tee boxes and green where pretty bad. But course layout was good and 5 or 6 tee off spots so fun for everyone. Small club house but has everything you except food.

Great course. Awesome staff. Resort and clubhouse are in terrible shape. Very out-dated, but the golf is great.

Course does not give credit when they close the course

The manager shut the course down due to rain. I asked him for a credit for the remaining back nine that was not played because of the manager closing the course due to rain. Manager stated the course had a no refund policy. I explained that I just wanted a credit for the nine holes we couldn’t play dude to the manager closing the course and he refused.

I recommend playing at another course that takes into account customers getting what they paid for.

Great Narrow Course

For a new golfer, this course was a bit tough but fun. The shop is small but friendly staff. Gonna practice a bit more and come back to improve my score.

course needs work

Fairways are good, but many of the greens need a lot of work. Patches of sand and dead grass.

Good for the money

I was looking for a course to play while on vacation and came across this course and selected it because of the great deal on the green fees. Now I understand why it was such a great deal. It’s an older property. The “club house” wasn’t open when we arrived at 9:30 for a 10am tee time(it didn’t open until 11). No cart person either so it was a struggle on the front 9 in the Florida heat. Course layout was decent, a good mix of challenging and moderate holes. A lot of the tee boxes were less than desirable. Pace of play was great…didn’t see anyone until hole 7. All in all, if you are looking for a “cheap” (cheaper green fees than most in the area) practice round before you go to an all around nicer course, it’s worth it.

End of the Good Times

Started playing here a year ago, and what a change the management made from one year to the next. This course has become completely unplayable. How do you start at 7:30am and get severely backed up at the back 9…both back 9’/s! I would rave about this place when it was a great bang for your buck. It’s unfortunate how this course has fallen.

Great course and experience after throwing a dart at a map. The course was in great shape considering how much rain South Florida has been getting. The greens were true and fair. I’d play their again when on vacation.

Greens were in great shape.

Course was in good condition for as much rain as we have had over last 2 weeks, and the greens were in excellent shape.
