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.

One of the best in South Florida

This is a course with outstanding value. Course is in excellent condition. Greens are well manicured and relatively fast. Fairways are plush and well maintained. Pace of play was excellent. Finished 18 holes on a Monday morning in less than four hours. Staff was professional and attentive. Highly recommended.

Good golf, mediocre service.

Course was in excellent condition, and the pace of play was good. Greens were pristine, though slower than expected. 5 tee box choices, including 3 rated for women, was a plus. Not pleased with the reception by the staff. After checking in for my prepaid tee time, the pro shop sent me right to the starter, who informed me I would have to go back to the pro shop to purchase the practice balls that he had right at his booth. The starter told me to take my time at the range since, as a single, I would have to hope that a 2 or 3-some showed up so I could go out. My prepaid reservation meant nothing. After hitting less than half the ridiculously expensive $9 small bucket, I was sent right out. Snack bar had stale, awful bagels, and the beverage cart didn't come to our foursome until we reached the 17th tee.

Bottom line: a really nice course but the customer service needs work.

Price a little high for conditions.

The price was a little high for the dry and brown conditions. The green were extremely hard and the fairways were a little rough. Great GPS and service.

Nice course

Jacaranda East is a nice course, well designed with quite open fairways and some difficult holes with water hazards. The bunkers were perfect and the greens recently treated were ok.
30$ for spectator fee is very expensive. Just a few clubs in Florida charge spectators.

Beautiful course

This course is in excellent shape from the fairways to the greens. Having played several different courses this winter, it was a nice change to see that some courses still do an outstanding maintenance job. Of course the greens fees are higher than most courses open to the public in that area so it goes to show you get what you pay for! Worth the extra dollars!

Expensive for the area.

First off, staff is very good and very friendly. Greens fees are $140, which is much more expensive than many of the courses in and around the Fort Lauderdale area. Course did not wow me enough to feel like it was worth the money, but it is high season at this time of year. Biggest issue is the practice range. All sand, no grass. And the rest of the chipping and practice areas are underwhelming. Many of the tee boxes were not in very good shape out on the golf course, and the fairways looked a little beat up. However the greens were in good shape

Bra bana

Spelade båda slingorna under två dagar och de är av väldigt bra kvalitet båda två. Fina fairways och fantastiska greener. Om jag måste välja en slinga så väljer jag East för den är något svårare ifrån tee.

East is a Beast

Played East twice in 3 days. Well conditioned to players liking; tight fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and hard fast greens. A players course...high handicappers should choose the West course.

highly recommend Jacaranda

We played the East course and the course was in great condition. Greens rolling true. All employees I came in contact with from bag drop, pro shop, starter and ranger couldn't have been more professional and friendly. This club has a good feel to it. The Golfnow rate is a real deal.

Jacaranda East Course

Would have liked to walk this course but carts were required. Otherwise I had a good time. The East course is straight forward and pretty easy because there is virtually no trouble except sand traps. A good course to practice your game so that you can play more difficult course later on. 5 sets of tees of which three are rated for women so you can make it more difficult by playing the back tees. Nicely landscaped with trees. We played in the middle of the day so it wasn't too crowded.
Good driving range. 45 balls for 9.50..
