East at Jacaranda Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
The East Course is one of two four-star rated championship courses at Jacaranda Golf Club. Both golf courses have a tropical landscape covered with ponds, canals, colorful landscaping, and of course plenty of swaying palms. The East Course is the longer of the two courses. It has served as host for several PGA and USGA tournaments and qualifying events. The layout features tree-lined, undulating fairways and raised, sloped greens. It offers a challenge at almost every turn with 80 bunkers strategically placed throughout and water hazards on 15 holes. Some of the bunkers are built into the mounding complexes, giving them sod faces and high lips that are difficult to navigate. Those that manage them successfully though will be rewarded with excellent scoring opportunities. The popularity of the two golf courses has affirmed Jacaranda as one of the best places to play in southeast Florida.

Great looking course
Beautiful course in good shape throughout
Greens are quick and true
Grounds crew a little irritating mowing and cutting as we were trying to hit
But well worth a visit
A good day!
Greens were consistently fast with very few issues. Fairways were in very good condition, although the areas around the greens on some holes need work. All in all, a very good day on the golf course.
We're glad you had a great day on the golf course! Thank you for choosing Jacaranda!
Great course for the price
Great course ,played long today with winds. Greens were very fast.
We're glad you enjoyed our golf course and we hope to see you soon!
Very Nice course
Played the East and loved it. Shot my best round of golf today. Greens could be faster but rolled true. Not difficult but not easy either. A lot of tees to choose from. Cost is a little more than other courses but you will immediately see why when you arrive and when you play. Kudos to the grounds crew.
We're glad to hear you enjoyed the East Golf Course and congratulations on your record low round! We will be sure to pass your compliments along to our maintenance staff. They work very hard to maintain the courses and it's always nice to hear when it's appreciated.
Well worth the money!
This was an amazing course to play, my buddy and I played today and the weather was great and the course was amazing! The course is very well maintained. The greens were beautiful and the rough unforgiving! Will definitely be coming back to play this course!
Thank you for the great review! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our course and we look forward to your next visit.
Thank you for taking the time to rate Jacaranda. We look forward to providing you with a 5 star experience soon.
Thank you for the 5 star rating. See you soon!
Always a treat to play here
We love to play Jacaranda - this time we were on the East course, which we have played many times. The greens have not come back entirely from aeration but it was still fun to play. The fairways were quite soft from all the rain so there was little roll on drives and approach shots that fell short of the green. We love the layout & the pace was great. We will be back!
Thank you for taking the time to rate and review Jacaranda. We are glad you enjoy the course and we're looking forward to that next visit. The greens will be back to perfect in no time!
As expected
Very nice golf course! The fairways and the teeoffs were perfect. Only the green was not so good . The having a problem with some bugs or other insects. We had a lot of fun even with 1or 2 shower rain ! We will come back !!
Thank you for taking the time to rate and review Jacaranda. We're thrilled to know you enjoyed the course. This is the time of the year when we perform certain maintenance on the courses but the areas you see on the green should not affect the roll or speed of your putts. We hope to see you again soon!
Enjoyable Course
It rained nearly the entire back 9 for me, and I still enjoyed this course. The conditions were very good and I really enjoyed the layout. I played as a single and was able to breeze through, but I think some of that was due to the awful weather conditions. I've heard it can get pretty packed on the weekends.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We're glad you enjoyed the course and look forward to seeing you again soon.
Great fairways
Outstanding staff from the bag drop to the staff in the Pro Shop to the waitresses in the restaurant. The fairways were some of the best I've ever played on they were in great shape. The course layout is very professional. Since it's the off-season the greens weren't the best but more than adequate.
Thank you! We love to hear that our staff treated you well and that you had a good time on the course. See you soon.
Great course
The golf course was in excellent condition. The greens were fast and smooth. The cups was cut perfectly. Great Staff very friendly. Would recommend it to anybody.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are so glad to hear about your great experience!
Thank you for the 5 star rating! We hope to see you very soon.
Enjoyable Round
The course was in good shape. The greens though varied in speed and where not the same speed and where much slower than the chipping area even. One green had way to many pitch marks. The bunkers need to be redone to many pebbles and rocks in them. The grill provides good food and drinks.
We are glad to hear you had an enjoyable round at Jacaranda and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
Course was in wonderful shape. I've played Augusta, TPC Sawgrass, Sea Island, have not seen better fairways. Greens were in great shape. Staff was friendly and helpful. Had a fantastic time.
WOW! That's one awesome review. Thank you so much for taking the time to post. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Thank you for the 5 star rating! We are glad you enjoy Jacaranda and look forward to your next visit!
Strong championship course
Significantly more challenging than your average South Florida resort course. Large established trees, contoured rolling fairways and large elevated greens complexes. As 2 x 13 handicappers playing the course for the first time we got a little beat up.
Lovely clubhouse and private members club feel. Felt very well-run with good staff.
Only real issue we found were:
- no drivers allowed on driving range (this is a big deal for me at least)
- couldn't buy range balls down near the range or from starter's hut (although the starter actually dispenses the range balls?). You have to drive cart back to pro shop which is a bit of a hike.
- not enough drinking water on the course which - an issue in South Florida in the summer
Great overall experience though.
We sincerely appreciate the comprehensive review. It's nice to know you enjoy Jacaranda and we're always looking for feedback to improve the experience. If we don't know, we can't fix it. Thank you and we will see you again soon.
Thank you for taking the time to post a 5 star rating for Jacaranda. See you soon!
It's always nice to see a 5 star rating! Thank you!
Jacaranda East
I love that this course is consistently in great shape. Greens were rolling great and I know they were recently aerified but healed nicely. 5 Tee box options. Staff is friendly and professional. Pace was great.
Consistency is key and we strive for that every day. Thank you for noticing! We will see you very soon.
