East at Jacaranda Golf Club
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.

Manicured
Manicured & pristine.
When I choose to play here it’s a special day.
It’s definitely my favorite course and any chance I get I’ll leave the local course and take the 20 mile drive .
The play can get a bit tight but ..... .
Great layout and spectacular views with challenging holes throughout.
Jacaranda East
Great condition...can see noticeable investment in new grass , irrigation, etc. greens consistent . Need a short game warm up area that is larger and includes sand traps Etc. Staff very friendly and accommodating. A small bucket of range balls for $9 is a bit steep :)
Thank you for taking the time to share a review about Jacaranda. We are constantly reinvesting in the property and it's nice to know that does not go unnoticed. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Excellent Condition
The Course was very nice and I would recommend it.
We are glad you enjoyed Jacaranda and we look forward to seeing you again.
Great course close to airport
Large fairways on most holes made Driver most useful. Bunkers were not all manicured & occasionally you were hitting on hardpan. Greens well maintained and rolled well.
Went to course grill after round and ended up with wrong order(Takeout). They need to work on that.
Great place to use your clubs before heading out of town.
We appreciate you taking the time to rate and review Jacaranda. We're glad to know you enjoyed your round and we will be sure to address your constructive criticisms. We hope to see you again soon.
Thank you for taking the time to rate Jacaranda. We hope to see you again soon.
Nice course
Course is in great shape, staff was fantastic and never waited on any holes. Will be playing it more this summer .
Thank you so much. We are thrilled to know you found the course and staff to be fantastic! We look forward to seeing you this summer.
Must play
I was very pleased with playing Jacaranda. Played 4 rounds of golf and wanted to keep playing
Played both east and west and had a wonderful time. Layout was challenging but also fair. Course is in beautiful condition and staff was very friendly. Will definitely be back to play again when i come to S. Florida again.
Thank you for taking the time to post a great review for Jacaranda! We are so glad you enjoyed yourself and look forward to your next visit.
Thank you for the excellent rating! We will see you soon!
Good course
Not as much water as some other course but challenging. Course was in excellent shape unlike some other courses that are still recovering from hurricane damage.
Thank you for taking the time to post a review of Jacaranda. We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the course conditions and hope you'll be back soon.
Course has nice layout
Enjoyed round. A little to quick of round as I was only one and it was first round in 6 months. Rental clubs a bit pricey at 85 clams. Enjoyed wildlife and scenery.
We're so glad you enjoyed your round at Jacaranda and we hope you'll return again soon!
Jacaranda East
First time playing this course. It was well maintained but the bunkers have dirt rather than sand, with a lot of rocks.
Pace of play was excellent. Greens were very nice. GPS scorecard did not work well so we shut it down....no big deal, we used a scorecard. The GPS yardage was fine. I would definitely play again.
We're thrilled to know you were able to play Jacaranda for the first time this week and we're looking forward to round #2.
Very disappointing
This course is usually one of the best maintained public courses in Broward county. However, the fairways are filled with divots that haven't been repaired. Even though we haven't had rain for a week the fairways were very wet and numerous drives resulted in mud covered golf balls. The fairways looked like they hadn't been mowed in several days at least. The greens were severely bumpy and of course tattered with unrepaired ball marks from the scores of garbage players who are either too incompetent to acknowledge the damage or too lazy to attempt repair. Our group had 3 players and our round took 4 hours and 38 minutes, terribly slow for a 3 some. There were two foursomes in front of us and NO ONE for at least 3 holes in front of them. We actually skipped #13 just to save our sanity. We saw ZERO marshalls or on course assistants all day. Called the clubhouse and they told us we weren't that far off pace. Terrible course management. This is not a course for beginners. And if you think you need to read every putt from three different angles-you better be on tour. Otherwise, stop with the nonsense. Learn to repair your divots and ball marks, learn to put flags fully back in the cup, understand where you are in relation to the rest of the course and have fun. You can be bad, or you can play slow, but you can't be both. Please please please, if you can't break 90 or don't believe in golf etiquette, go play Springtree or Colony west or some other dumpy course where your garbage game is better suited. The only reason the rating isn't lower is because we got a hot deal and we've played the course many times with much better experiences.
We are disappointed to hear about your negative experience at Jacaranda. While we do receive play from golfers of all skill levels, that does not excuse a guest from not following simple golf etiquette. We do our best to remind the guests to fill divots and repair ball marks and our staff does that as time allows. We appreciate you taking the time to post a review and we will address these issues directly.
Disappointed with conditions!!!
Having lived in So. Fla for the past 3 years, I had heard nothing but great things about Jacaranda, and was excited to finally see what the hype was about. Unfortunately, I was severely underwhelmed by the condition of the course. Fairways were missing large patches of grass and severely thinned in some areas. Teeboxes were also in poor shape and ridden with several day old divots. The greens were OK, but definitely not living up to what people had made them out to be. They were slow and bumpy for the most part. I was very disappointed and certainly did not feel that the shape of the course justified the $100+ dollar green fee. It would certainly take some convincing to get me back out there.
It's always disheartening when a guest is disappointed in their experience at Jacaranda. We take a lot of pride in both the course conditions and customer service we offer. We sincerely hope we have the opportunity to exceed your expectations in the future.
Surprised
I live in the mid Atlantic. I am a 13 handicap
I do not play much Florida golf so I have to say I was a bit surprised and disappointed at the conditions for the price paid. I understand that it is mid-March so maybe that explains it, but there were lots of bare spots and fairways and first cut of rough we’re not always easily defined. The greens ran very quick, they were consistent, and they were firm. I was probably he most surprised that there were not a lot of memorable holes in my mind as I left the course. That for me is the character of a unique golf course
I play a lot of golf, typically 40+ rounds a year and I simply was not super impressed for the price paid
We have to say that we were disappointed by the Ranger that checked us in. He was a little bit snippy with answers to a couple basic questions, maybe he knew we were vacationers, I am not sure, but we did not feel treated with respect. We had a 942 teetime and he was trying to rush us of the Driving range at 9:27 because the group just before had not showed up so he told us we had to go. I told him no, that we had a 942 time we planned our warm-ups around that. He was just a bit in polite
Thank you for taking the time to post a review about your experience at Jacaranda. We are sorry to hear you were not pleased with the facility and more importantly that you felt disrespected by one of our employees. We assure you we will address that directly with the Starter. We sincerely hope we have the opportunity to impress you the next time you're in South Florida.
One of my favorites in South Florida!
I have played this course a few times before and have always found it to be a delightful experience!
It is so nice to know that we're one of your favorite South Florida golf courses! We appreciate you choosing Jacaranda and we hope you'll be back very soon.
Thank you for the Excellent rating! We love to know you enjoy Jacaranda and hope to see you again soon.
We are so glad you found us worthy of a 5 Star rating! See you soon!
Terrain appréciable
Beau parcours de golf offrant plusieurs difficultés
Pas recommandé pour débutant. Les allés sont super
les verts sont moyens par un manque de gazon mais quand même rapide. L'emplacement des fanions augmente la difficultée et le temps de jeux. Pour les touristes de passage le prix est un peu élevé comparé aux autres terrains du secteur du à l'aménagement à l'arrivée et le club house.
We are so glad you took the time to visit Jacaranda! We hope you've had a chance to check out the Jacaranda Score Card on our website! It offers great rates to locals throughout the summer months.
