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 6,847 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.

Needs work!

I gave this course a 3 but it could easily be a 4 or 5 with some work. Greens are good. The fairways are bumpy, rough and full of weeds. T boxes need seed. The course is not very marked a few holes were missing directional signs. Some holes are several hundred yards apart, wouldn’t want to walk this course. My cart was good, very fast. The bar and grill was closed due to lack of staff but they offered snacks, beer and other beverages at the club house. Overall a good experience but it could be so much more.

Much improved

Last time I played, the course was nice, but the greens were cratered and unplayable. This has since been resolved, and it was a very pleasant round.

Grand Palms should do better

Bad - Needs attention on watering. Fairways are dry.. some days it's over watered near the greens. Need to yellow rope of more areas. Drivers are driving to close to the greens carving out sections in the ground (#4 Sabal). Ball washers are there but no water in them. All tee box markers were not put in place..
The greens have grown out nicely.. All 3, nine holes are a fun layout.. Staff is great. Good practice area..

Good layout … but that’s about it

It’s evident that no money was put back into Grand Palms. Greens have many bare patches, are shaggy and bumpy. Tee blocks are sandy and not maintained. Food not readily available either on course or off … unless you count a $4.60 Snickers bar in the pro shop. Adding insult to injury happens when you get your Visa statement in Cdn funds and you realize the complete lack of value the green fees represent .
