Type Resort

Length 6682 yards

Rating 72.6

Located in Pembroke Pines, picturesque Grand Palms Golf & Country Club offers three nines: Royal, Sabal and Grand. The nine-hole courses are playable in three combos, with the Sabal/Grand coming in at a 6,682 yards. Of the three, Sabal/Grand is the most helter skelter, combining the shortest and longest nines. The Grand is a tight golf course that offers a challenge for most, what with its raised greens, narrow fairways and challenging water holes. Sabal, by contrast, is a resort-style play, with a gentler game featuring generous fairways and greens.

Enjoyable Round

First time playing this course. The starter (sorry, didn't catch his name) was FABULOUS! Our group had gotten split during booking, and he magically got us put back together! Course conditions were's fabulous, but were fine. Greens were a bit weak, with spotty grass issues. We loved the layout, with many fun and challenging holes. Well worth our time, and we all enjoyed the round. Outdoor food tent at finish was a nice touch!

The Greens where terrible

It was sad to see there was no water on the course the bar wasn't opened at all no restaurant no cart girl. Just water at the start.
I probably will not be going back .
Hope you make the improvements that the course needs

needs work

This place was much better a few years ago but right now it needs a lot of care. I just paid $75 for a round and I don't believe it was worth it

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.

Good course for your money, pace a little slow on the back, there is no one to direct trafic after the first nine. Would play again.

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.
