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.

Greens Nearly Unplayable

I have played this course for years. I love the layout, but whatever is going on lately with the condition of their greens is making the course near unplayable. The greens on this course used to be excellent. I am not looking for Augusta National, but they have reached a point where they are like putting in the parking lot. It’s a shame because the course has three nines that are a great layout, but with the condition of the greens putting is not skill as much as where the ball bounces. The course needs to be closed, the greens redone and brought back to their former glory.

Not worth the price - greens are unplayable.

I’ve played this course many times in the past and the green conditions are absolutely unplayable. Almost every green had an incredible amount of bumps and patches over the entire green. The fairways were smoother than the greens. Unless the tee time is $20 it is not worth playing here. It’s a shame because the practice grounds are good and the layout is fine, but expect to give give yourself a 2 putt and pick up on every hole. Grand Palms should fix these greens and offer huge discounts if they want anyone to play here again.

Nice layout AWFUL greens

I cant believe the Royal course is not closed. The greens are unplayable. And when you pay for the round, they dont tell you about the extremely poor conditions of the greens.
Wont go there again, and its a shame, because the layout of the course is very nice.

Terrible greens

This course should not be open to the public, the greens on the Sable are burned, no grass left on many, Too bad, it use to be ok last year but now, please avoid at all cost until the greens are fixed.

Terrible!!!!!

We had 5 player's group in front of us.
They took 20-25 minutes every hole so
We called to pro shop.
The lady who was there said
“”We don’t have any problems with that “ Because no policy here.
So next time we are going to make a tee time 10 players in one group then!!!!

Greens need love

After paying $35 deposit, I was charged full price to play. I did book the wrong date. I called first thing in the morning and corrected the date on the reservation. However, no new confirmation could be sent and the attendant had no idea about my situation but had my tee time ready.

Good for the money

I played here for $29 and that was a good deal. The greens were a bit spotty on some holes but for $29 this wasn’t an issue for me. The Sable course was challenging on the stretch from hole 4-6. Tight landing areas with lots of water. Overall I was happy for $29

I used to golf here in the early 2000's and it was not a disaster. I spoke to other golfers and they said that they agreed it was a titanic. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!!!!!!! EVEN THE PRO SHOP IGNORED ME EXCEPT THE THIN SPANISH BLONDE GUY STOCKING THE COCONUT WATERS!!!! ONLY ONE THAT SAID Hello!! How are you???? WELL NEVER AGAIN!!
