Grand Palms Hotel Spa & Golf Resort, Pembroke Pines, FL

The true reality is that the Grand Palms Golf & CC is outdated; The location is great and is located in beautiful Pembroke Pines with easy access to I-75. The Golf Course, has 27 very challenging holes that are in very poor condition, the course does not drain very well and being close to the everglades makes it a very muddy playing conditions. The greens are very slow, bunkers have little sand and full of rocks, the tee boxes are unleveled and are not mowed frequently, the carts paths are either full of pot holes or poor patched asphalt work. The service at the restaurant, golf course and hotel is very poor; they seem to have a "What do you want" attitude. In general the facilities are run-down and outdated. If you want a better value and updated golf course, check Pembroke Lakes CC.

I agree with finfan, this is the best of the 3 9s at Grand Palms. None are "bad" but this is the strongest, I almost always sneak onto it and play it even if they tell me to go to the other two ;)

Royal is the way to go!

In my opinion, the best of the three 9s is the Royal course. It is challenging with one especially tough par 5 with a narrow fairway and blind tee-shot. Plus, the rotation will put you on to Sable, the next best course at Grand Palms. Yes, it can get pricey, but in the summer, it is a better value.

Three Different 9 hole courses

Grand Palms is too expensive during the season, but can be a decent value off-season. With 3 nine hole courses, you can mix and match a little if you want to play more than once during a vacation. The Grand is the best 9 out of the 3.
