West at Jacaranda Golf Club
About
Both the East Course and the West Course at Jacaranda Golf Club are four-star rated by Golf Digest. These challenging golf courses weave across a tropical landscape covered with blue lagoons, tranquil ponds, and swaying palm trees. The West Course is the shorter of the two courses but it is no less challenging. Strategy and skill, rather than length, are the determining factors on this layout. With water hazards to avoid, numerous tricky doglegs, and tight bunkering along the greensides and landing areas, this course is definitely a shot-maker's layout. The raised, sloped greens and undulating, tree-lined fairways will require some careful maneuvering. The outward nine is slightly more forgiving than the demanding inward nine, which features more boldly contoured green complexes. The challenging, yet versatile design of both golf courses has made Jacaranda one of southeast Florida's most popular golfing destinations.

horrible condition
greens bumpy, tee boxes patchy, greens sandy in spots, patchy.. no workers on course, Superintendent rude, Mr. Kevin Fiitts. banned me from the course for telling him it was the worst shape I had seen in 10 years, after having played there at least 150 times, both East and West courses.. He was very rude and hung up on me, but not before saying I would not be allowed to play there any more..
I am a USGA member since 1983 over 36 years and I have never been treated so rudely by anyone at a golf course.. This used to be the jewel of Broward Co. one of the best 36 hole courses, well maintained, great layout, superb food. BUT NOT NOW.. I would rate this facility less than 1 star if that was available...
Mr. Milstein – We certainly appreciate your patronage of Jacaranda over the years and we’re disappointed to hear that we did not meet your expectations during your last two trips to the club. We love our local golfers and are always trying to find more opportunities to get them out to Jacaranda throughout the year. As someone who’s played here over 100 times I’m sure you’re aware that we pride ourselves on A+ course conditions and customer service. Those standards are something we stress with our staff daily and based on the hundreds of reviews we’ve received over the years we’re confident we’re achieving those goals. However, we know there’s always room for improvement and we’ll continue to work to make ourselves better and worthy of being considered the “jewel” of Broward County. Our Director of Golf, Andrew Michael, and our General Manger/Director of Agronomy, Kevin Fipps, took the time to listen to your complaints more than once, and we are always open to constructive criticism as that can be beneficial in helping us grow as a team/company. No one would EVER be banned from Jacaranda for merely voicing their disappointment with our facility. However, we would be happy to explain to you directly why we think it is better for you and our staff that you find another golf club. We thank you for the many years you’ve spent golfing at Jacaranda and hope you’ll continue to enjoy the game we all love at the other great courses in South Florida.
Jacaranda West
Great shape, quick greens with occasionally hard to read breaks. Loved the layout, pace of play and staff. Going back again tomorrow.
Awesome! It sounds like you had a great day and we're thrilled to hear that you returned for another round! Thank you for choosing Jacaranda.
Thank you for choosing Jacaranda. We look forward to the opportunity to provide you with a 5 star experience very soon.
Good Course in NIce condition
Jacaranda West is typical FL golf course layout with lot of water on the holes. Most of the water doesn't come into play unless you hit a really bad shot. It's an enjoyable track with nice conditions all around. They have 2 dining areas one is little more formal while other is 19th hole type. Staff was attentive although I found 2 long hair when I got done with half of my panini. Course itself is lacking the wow factor but I would definitely recommend it as great warm up course if you can get a decent deal. At full rate, I would say this course is overrated.
We appreciate you taking the time to post such a thorough review. We're glad you enjoyed the West Course and we sincerely look forward to wowing you in the future!
Great day of golf!
Perfect weather and pairede up with two very nice young men made for a great day. Would have given 5 across the board, but still a bit pricey even with GolfNow rate. Of course it is prime time in Florida.
We're so glad you enjoyed your round and playing partners! While golf is at a premium in South Florida this time of the year, please trust that we continually reinvest in our property to keep both courses in awesome condition. We look forward to seeing you again.
Great course
:Unique layout. All is excellent except as a Canadian, I find It pricy.
We sincerely appreciate you choosing to play Jacaranda while you're in South Florida. We know the Canadian dollar makes it more expensive and we thank you foe still visiting Jacaranda. We hope to see you soon.
Great value
Course in very good condition. Nice Firm fast greens.
Flight of 4 played in 4 hours 5 min.
Main restaurant closed mondays though so we had to eat at ”19th hole” which was more than ok.
Don’t hesitate just go for it.
Thank you! We are glad you had an enjoyable experience at Jacaranda and we look forward to your next visit.
Thank you! We hope to see you again soon.
We are glad you enjoy Jacaranda and we hope you'll be back soon.
Course interesting
Tees and green needed some love but fairways were perfect.
We're glad you enjoyed our carpet like fairways! See you soon.
Dropped a star this year
Jacaranda is my favourite spot in south Florida. We are Canadian and go down for Christmas every year. We play Jacaranda Christmas Eve and Christmas Day (this year we got an extra round on the 26th).
The staff at Jacaranda cannot do enough for you. They are always the best we deal with in south Florida. The proshop staff are great at getting you set up. The bag drop is always accommodating (they let us leave our clubs between rounds). Jacaranda is one of the few courses that you can get a coffee and bite to eat before teeing off. I don't understand why this isn't normal in south florida.
The west course had some dead areas on the green. This is not usual for this course and I hope it is a blip and not the beginning of a pattern. The west course provides a course you need to think your way around with a number of well placed bunkers and tempting dog legs. I play with my dad and he favours the East Course and I favour the west. Both are great and I look forward to rating them back at 5 stars next year.
WOW! Now that's an awesome review. Thank you for being so thorough and we cannot tell you how wonderful it is to hear those comments about our staff. We look forward to providing you with a 5 star experience soon.
Great round before the Orange Bowl
Good course for the money. Would definitely play again when in the area. Roll Tide!
Thank you! We're glad you had an opportunity to play while you were in town for the game. We hope to see you very soon!
Jack West
Course was in great condition. Played in 4 hours as a foursome. Challenging but not tricky.
Excellent! Thank you for the feedback. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
5 Stars! Thank you so much. We hope to see you at the club soon.
Great Layout, friendly staff
Enjoyed the layout. Greens were just medium, which was a surprise as the putting green was slick and perfect, but out on the course they were very bumpy.
Pace was very slow, stated around 9am on a Saturday, took 5 hours 20 minutes.
We paid ~$120 per person, Place was worth more like $75.
On course rangers and starters were super friendly and helpful, but there is only so much they can do for pace on a holiday Saturday.
I’ll look forward to playing more often, but not on holidays.
Thank you for posting about your experience at Jacaranda. We strive to keep the pace of play right around 4 hours regardless of whether or not it's a holiday and we're sorry your round was so slow. We will address that issue. We are glad to hear you'll be back and we look forward to your next round.
Thank you for choosing Jacaranda and for taking the time to rate the club. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Terrific course
Jacaranda has Pass Pal fairways which are nice and green. I was delighted with the quality of the course and especially the green pass palm fairways which gives you a nice lie, every time.
I played both East and West. Both are very nice. East is longer and more forgiving. West is tighter with more water.
Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed the fairways and have had an opportunity to play both of our courses. See you soon!
Thank you for the excellent rating. See you soon!
Excellent! Thank you so much and we'll see you soon.
Thank you so much for playing Jacaranda. We look forward to providing you with a 5 star experience very soon!
