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.

Not for the "handicapper"

The course is in good shape and well maintained, but they were unable to accommodate my physical handicap on the course, which resulted in a miserable round of golf. As a double amputee I have yet to learn how to walk downhill without racing out of control of my gait. Because of this is, I need to ascend with my cart near elevated greens and tees. The rangers were nice and tried more than once to accommodate me but the cart kept automatically shutting off as I approached the green. I drove a long way and paid a pretty penny to play jacaranda but I could never play there again.

Thank you for your feedback and positive comments about the quality of our golf course. We are so sorry that it was difficult for you to maneuver the throughout your round. While the GPS on our golf carts is a great asset we do apologize that the program kept you from enjoying the round. We will attempt to rectify this issue in the future.

Nice course for the money

You pay for what you get in the winter in South Florida, Jacaranda is just that. A fair price for as good a course as you can find in South Florida. Greens roll true, Fairways are lush. Just a nice round of golf. Lots of interesting features to keep it real. A must play for Miami area.

Other courses around for more money that are not near this course in quality.

A step above the rest

This is a player's course. Nice layout, greens that are well maintained and roll true, lovely grounds and great pace of play for a weekend. The price is a little steep, but it's worth it. We will be back to play the west course!

Really good all around...must play complex

Lunch was delicious and reasonable...course was really good and a really good test of golf....will recomend to play this and eat lunch. Staff was friendly. Only downside was there was 2 foursomes in front us that played SLOW! At the turn we got between the 2 but there was 2 holes open and we called out the ranger and he pushed them. Able to finish in 4 1/2 hours....felt bad for the other stuck behind the 2nd group....no way they could finish

Good round of golf

Played the West course yesterday which was so good that we came back to play the East course. The E course is shorter but more challenge because of narrower fairway. Tee boxes and fairways are in excellent conditions, greens were fast but fair. Certainly one of the best courses in the area.
