Fix Now!

This used to be a premium course. It is far from that now. Greens are falling apart because of the crazy weed infestation. They basically have killed the greens. Pace of play has also been absolutely atrocious lately.

Greens were almost unplayable

Overall the course was a decent play expect when it came to the greens. We played Royal/Sable and about 15/18 greens were borderline unplayable.

We played this same course about a 5 weeks ago and they were no where near this bad.

Tees and greens need repair

The greens were nearly unplayable on certain holes due to large bare patches and weeds. The tee boxes also were bare and in very poor condition.

Needs to be revamped/placed under new management

Grew up in SoFlo. Well before I started playing golf this was highly touted as a must play. I’ve only been at it 2-3 years and was highly disappointed. Horrendous greens, super patchy and whatever fertilizer they were using reeked of raw sewage on the entire course. It’s a shame because course itself is challenging and could be top notch if it was better kept. I’ve played courses half the price and 2x the quality.. living off name right now

Grand Palms review

Course conditions terrible. They have lost several greens. Low price is only redeeming factor. Sad to see as course layout is fun to play.

Got a good rate on golf now. But the greens were so bad that your ball bounced across them.

Worse golf course ever played

I used to play here often during COVID, and I really enjoyed it. However, on Friday, April 1st, 2024, I brought a colleague from Spain, driving from South Miami based on the fond memories I had. Unfortunately, I was deeply disappointed. This has become, by far, the worst golf course I've ever played on. I'm accustomed to playing on average courses like Killian Greens, Palmetto, Briar Bay, and Redlands, but even those seem like PGA courses compared to Grand Palms. After finishing the first 9 holes, I inquired with the starter about which of the last 9 holes to play, considering the initial ones were in poor shape. I was told those first 9 were actually the best of the three courses they have.

Upon completing the game, we voiced our concerns about the conditions and were offered coins for the range as compensation. Once home, I compared pictures from my visits in 2021 and 2022, and the decline in quality was stark. I reached out to the manager hoping for at least a partial refund, but was refused. I even suggested updating their website to reflect the current conditions to prevent misleading other golfers, but my suggestion was ignored

Terrible condition

The greens are in terrible conditions. It’s like putting in the rough. Do not recommend this course anymore.

Grand Palms

Everything was great except most of the actual greens on Grand and Royal courses are almost in such bad condition it will add an additional stroke if your putting further than about 5 feet.

Horrible condition

How dare you charge me $70 to play this Sunday. This course should be discounted!!!! Overall the course is not in good shape. The greens are absolutely horrible!!!!!! Take a little pride for God sake!!! Anything over $20 is way too much to pay for this place. What a shame this course has become.
