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

Super fast greens. I was fortunate to play after a PGA South event. The course was beautiful. Staff was great. They don't have coolers for beer.:( I played the East and hopefully I will play the West before I leave. Great Course!!

One of if not the best public courses in Broward county

Unfortunately the course just recently airated the greens. Still one of my favorites. Played on a Wednesday at noon and didn't have to wait on a single hole. As a twosome we played in under 3 hrs.

Super Valie, excellent fairways and greens

Top shelf conditions, the best fairways I've played in some time. Greens rolled true and quick. Be cautious above the hole as down hill and down grade can leave you with some challenging second putts. A real winner, loved this course.

Beautifully landscaped course

Jacaranda is one of the prettiest courses in South Florida. The landscaping is colorful and varied. The East course is challenging and long if you play from the second tees. The 19th hole bar and grill is much, much nicer than the food and drink option at a normal municipal course

Consistently well kept

Course layout, conditions and greens are all very nicely kept. Greens are particularly nice for a public course. They roll very true and quick but aren't so hard as to not receive approach shots.

The layout of bag-drop/pro shop/starter shack is a bit scrambled, and disjointed.

The least nice of this nice course is the starter shack. If you aren't perfectly timed and perfectly familiar with where and when to go to first tee, forget about a friendly send off from the starter shack..

Man these guys are grumpy.

Otherwise love the course.

Fantastic day and game. Challenging but forgiving at the same time. The water and sand trap made some approaches look great. Conditions where good. Tee boxes could have been better.

Excellent and a must play public course

The fairways and greens are in excellent conditions. Both the East and the West are equally good where the East is more challenging. This is one of the finest course at the Fort Lauderdale area and it's a must play for anyone, young to senior.

All around excellent course.

First time playing here and from beginning from when I pulled up to the bag drop, the young men there were courtesy to end when I ate at the 19th hole, I have high praise for the course. The carts had GPS which is always helpful, the T-boxes were in great shape as were the fairways and rough. I expected the greens to be faster, but my playing partner, who was from the area told me they normally play faster.

The corse layout was beautiful, the par 3's were of decent length. Quite a few doglegs came into play, club selection was vital on all holes.

If you can play with someone who knows the course, the help is much needed.

I can't wait to return and play here again.

Really nice course

My son and I had a twi-light tee time at 4:04 on the East course, just a twosome. After practicing some chipping and putting, we teed off about 10 minutes early. No one was in front of us and no one behind, it was like heaven. We finally caught up to a group at the 17th, which is a par 3. They were on the green, so we had about a two minute wait. When we reached the green, a single caught up from behind. He finished 17 after us and called it a day. We waited a couple of minutes before we teed off on 18. That was it, we finished in 3 hrs and 15 minutes with the course practically to ourselves. What a fun round! Course was in great condition!

Great Course

Overall WONDERFUL experience! Matt from Wisconsin gave spent the time over the phone explaining our options for this course and other courses in Florida. He is awesome! Thanks so much! Pace of play was great. There was an outing the same day but this course had the presence of mind to put the outing on the OTHER course. Sometime golf courses will stick people behind an extremely slow outing but NOT these guys. They were great! Great course, great pace of play (very important to us). Nice job.
