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.

True green speed

I love this course. I played east. the green is pretty firm and the speed is fast, but not crazy fast. some hole required precision drive. green is quite small for some holes, so second shot needed precision shot, too. There was no cart girl. may be because it was too early morning. (7:30 ~ 11:00am on Tuesday) One thing I did not like was the sands, it was too wet and heavy, and firm.

Must play if in Miami area

Well worth the drive up from Miami, have played several courses in Miami while on vacation, they all pale in comparison. Had a 7:09 tee time , course was in great condition, greens rolled fast and true. Staff in pro shop were great and very friendly. I will definitely be back!

Both East & West Are worth playing!

Start early and you will breeze through. Fairways and bunkers were well tended. Greens fast and true. Of the 6 courses we played in the region this one stood as the number 1 choice to play again anytime.

Hot deal

Hot deal price of $65 made it worth it. The driving range is poor as it is all sand with little grass and they charged $9.50 for a small bucket. Good greens and the course is in good shape.

Great course, fair, excellent conditions, Greens perfect!

Played after 11am so course was not busy. Played as a twosome and finished in 3.5 hours. All the staff was extremely friendly and made playing there very enjoyable. The ranger engaged us in friendly conversation and was very respectful. Course was in great shape and the greens were perfect. Course had the usual water for a FL course, but it was very fair. I'll be playing there again!

Nothing bad to say!

On a recent trip, I had the opportunity to play the East course and the West course. I loved both courses so much I played both courses twice. I had never played Jacaranda before and didn't know what to expect; I was not disappointed. A very fair challenge for players of all levels. Everything from the service, to the putting and chipping greens, to the quality of the fairways and greens are top notch in my humble opinion. Hope you like your greens fast; ours were rated an 11 (I understand that they can get them running as fast as a 14 but they don't so as not to negatively impact pace of play). Thoroughly enjoyed this course. Many pretty and challenging holes. Greens on the West course are much more andulated than the East course but both are fast. Breaks are subtle so don't give the hole away. East course also plays longer than the West, albeit it didn't feel much longer. Will definitely play this again.

p.s. We were paired with a single once in our four rounds of golf; he paid $140 for the round so definitely paid to use Golfnow.

A cut above the other area courses

This is a great track with a friendly staff for the most part. The other local courses in the area cannot hold a candle to Jacaranda. The greens were among the best I've played, firm and very true. Only downside, if you can call it that, is the cost of a replay. We paid quite a bit where most others will do it for the cart cost or a greatly reduced greens fee. Other than that, top notch. A must play for sure.

Jacaranda courses

I play a lot of courses but Jacaranda, both East and West are two of the nicest and best around. Pace of play is good, conditions are excellent. Other good courses around but truly, none better overall.

Very Slow

Enjoyed course but it moved very slowly. 51/2 hour round. Got paired with 2 other singles on the 3rd hole and enjoyed their company. Disappointed that I was reprimanded by one of the pros for riding as a single in a cart. I was assigned a cart and sent out by the starter. Did what I was told to do. Felt it could have been handled better. Didnt need to be reprimaded as I hadnt done anything I wasnt told to do. Really no way to treat a customer. He mus have been having a bad day.
