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.

Grand palms

Course is awful. Can’t believe this is an actually resort people visit. Pace of play was non existent. Waited easily 6 -7 minutes between every shot. Conditions were terrible. The biggest waste of $72 I’ve ever spent, I would’ve rather lost the money or even just thrown it away.

First Time Playing

Played the Sabal and the Grand. Fairway and greens on Sabal need a lot of attention. Greens on Sabal unplayable in areas on a few holes. The Grand was in better shape. Because this was my first time playing this course, I would try it again to expand my opinion. All in all it was a good experience.

The greens

The greens are in very poor condition, in that part they have neglected maintenance a lot. As long as they continue like this I don't plan to return. I'm sorry

Enjoyable course

This course is fun to play. There is lots of room on the fairway although there is a bit of water you have to avoid. The greens are well groomed but a few had bare spots. Unfortunately, the day was windy. I will play here again and can recommend Royal Palms to others.

A one time great course

For this time of year we probably paid a fair price for this course. The greens are fair to poor. Hardly any bare spots but not very lush either.
