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.

Another great experience

One of our "go to" courses, Jacaranda East never fails. The course is well maintained, pace of play is manageable and the staff is very well trained and accessible.

Props to the golf course superintendant. Gorgeous cart girls and polite "bag boys". Starters were rude and nasty.

Good Play

NO GPS. Miss the fairways it going to be a long day.

Rough is long. Fairways are amazing. Bunkers can be rocky. No fluff in the bunker.

Lots of little undulation. Beers are overpriced. Food is pretty darn good.

Great course but inconsiderates leave ball marks on greens

Great challenge with strategic bushes about course; more consideration from players repairing ball marks on greens would be beneficial.

THE COURSE WAS IN GREAT CONDITION AND THE STAFF WAS VERY FRIENDLY

I PLAYED 36 HOLES WHICH ALLOWED ME TOO PLAY BOTH THE EAST AND WEST COURSES ON THE SAME DAY....
THE WEST COURSE IS SHORTER AND THE PAR 5s HAVE WATER TO DEAL WITH ON TEE SHOT AND 2ND SHOTS MAKING IT CHALLENGING...

THE EAST COURSE IS LONGER AND OPEN BUT THE GREENS WHERE SLOPING AND FAST...

THE STAFF WHERE FRIENDLY AND LAID BACK... THE FOOD AT THE RESTURANT AT LUNCH WAS EXCELLENT...

The staff are friendly and attentive. The course is 3-star due to the state of the greens

A fairly tight course with lots of water. The West Course is the one that my son and I played April 1st, 2013. A bit more attention to the greens would make it good value for the money charged by GolfNow.

Jacaranda is one of those must play if in in SE Florida. complete golfing experience. it has everything you need to work on game improvement.

I had the pleasure to have play 5 of 6 rounds of golf while vacationing in Florida. Golf Now made it a little more affordable.
A US Senior Amateur Qualifying Tourney was held there on one of my no golf days. This gives an example of Jacaranda's reputation and course conditions. Pro Shop staff was very friendly and helpful (say hi to Daniel and Sam assist. pro's who always greeted me by name when checking in...A Cheer's moment...Also thanks to Andrew Head Pro for working with my swing and is now showing improvement...eagle 2 from 170yd yesterday). I would seriously consider membership if I lived in the area.

Fun challenging course

Played from the blues at approx 6300 yds. Very nice course with challenging par 3's and holes that require accuracy off the tees. Hitting to the proper side of the fairway is often essential to make par and certainly to birdie. Highly recommend if in the area.

Great Day!

Terrific round of golf at Jacaranda. Course was in great condition, staff was very friendly. Typical good Florida course, flat with some water and difficult and fast greens.

Played in high season with great pace of play. No waiting and no one behind us.

Playing both East and West with replay discount makes the 36 holes a good value.

Had a great time here, the whole course in excellent shape.

Everyone was friendly, great service. Greens were fast the day I was there. The fairways were in good shape, well maintained. Played at a good pace, no waiting on the tee box for the most part. Had good coffee, and great food for after the round.

Love the 19th. hole with Kieli

I play courses in So. Florida that are part of the Premium card program and some that are not. Jacaranda is the best of the courses I play.

A true country club experience. Outstanding!

I played both the East and West courses, on separate days. Equal quality; West is a little shorter. True, it's a little expensive (I paid $110 the first time because I booked more than a week ahead; the second time, I booked the day before and paid $90). But worth every penny.

Great deal for $50

Got a great deal on golf now. I am a single and was paired up with 3 other guys. Course was in great shape, greens were fast and true. Teed off on a beautiful sunny morning and had a great experience. Course is interesting and not over challenging off the blue tees. Only downside, the starter was a bit grumpy.
