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.

Good for Groups

Although the conditions were not the best (rain and wind), the course played incredibly well. The starter along with the Cart and Grill Room attendants were great. A very challenging course at an appropriate price, but get there will plenty of time to spare to enjoy.

Great course, great round!

If you're in the area, add this course to the list. Played the East today and it was in fantastic shape. Teeboxes, fairways, greens were all immaculate. A long, challenging layout but very fair and playable. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area.

Great course for the money

Went on GolfNow and paid $45 to play. This was a steal for this course. Pace was great, had a foursome and finished just under 4-hours. Green we're right on, perfect speed and true to the putt. Not a difficult course but still a challenge. I would definitely play this course again.

Very good course

We enjoyed the course. It turned out to be a nice day. The starter was a bit confusing and created inconvenience with the group behind us. The food cart lady was out of line. She promised an hamburger in 20 minutes. She brought it in 50! And was rude.

The East at Jacaranda is a somewhat challenging course, so you have to think a little especially on the more difficult holes. It's in great condition and was just a great experience. Going back very soon

Use all clubs in your bag

The course was in excellent shape. Played in less than 4. Hours. Booked on golfnow and only paid $50.00. Club selection off the tee was critical. Kept driver in bag on a number of holes. Greens were fast but fair. I highly recommend this course!

I was a single looking for a quick round, played in 3 hrs (2 kind foursomes let me play thru). On GolfNow the prices was great. The course sets up for a draw, which I loved. Greens were excellent.

Great semi-private course

Excellent layout for any handicap if you play the right tees. Greens rolled great with some movement. Fairways were tight but not hard, not much rollout. Bunkers well placed to make you have to think about the short you need to hit. The par 3's were reasonable distance, some of the 4's were very tough to get at in regulation and the par 5's are where you score. All of the greens were resort style, large, so you have a chance.
