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.

Nice Course, Don't mind the Starter
The course itself was in good shape. The layout fair and forgiving. Was a great day on the course.
10.60 for a small bucket of balls is too much.
The starter was rude and impatient. Played as a single was told to check back after warming up. I did but apparently walking over was a mistake. The starter let me know he has a system and it's by cart number. I've never been told off over doing as I was asked.
Anyway got out had a great round and the local lizards that wander around the course were a cool distraction.
Greens are in bad shape
I was disappointed in the coarse conditions. Several of the greens were in terrible shape on the west! I have played there in the past and they are usually great, not sure what happened.. The greens feed are too high considering the conditions.
We sincerely appreciate the feedback and we're disappointed to hear that you did not enjoy the course conditions. We hope you'll give us the opportunity to exceed your expectations in the future.
Great course.
Tough... long rough that literally hid balls... but beautiful and a fun challenge. The staff were all very pleasant.
We're glad you had an enjoyable experience at Jacaranda! Thank you for taking the time to share. See you soon!
The fairways where awesome
You need to keep ball in fairways or your ball will get eaten up in the rough
Thank you for taking the time to post a review about Jacaranda. We hope you spent a lot of time in the fairways during your visit!
Rio Off
We had booked a Hot Desl Ter time for the West course at 9:05. for $75/each. When we arrived we were told their was a Ladies Group playing the West Course and we could wait until 9:30 to tee off and be.behind them the whole round, or we could play the East and have clear sailing. We chose the East and all was well untold we got to #10 and found we were behind a 4 some that just jumped on. We had to go around them and missed a hole or two. Not happy with the whole expiresnce. Be aware when you pay that type of money you get what you pay for!!! I won’t be doing that again soon!!
Thank you for taking the time to post a review. We're sorry to hear that you did not have a positive experience. We strive to make sure every golfer has a 5 star experience at our club and it's very disappointing to hear when we've fallen short. We sincerely appreciate the feedback and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a 5 star experience in the future.
I really enjoyed this coarse
Really great price for such a nice course the wildlife was a bonus
It's great to hear that you had a wonderful experience at Jacaranda. Thank you for taking the time to share. We look forward to seeing you again very soon.
Pretty good
I’d say this was just pretty good. Mainly I say this because I paid the same price for Doral Blue Monster the day before and this place doesn’t compare. It’s just isn’t the same caliber. It probably was worth half that cost I’d say. Greens were looking really rough. Course was in good shape other than that . Pace was slow. They had a good outing that morning that seemed to push things behind.
I did have a guy playing with us that took it as his mission to fill in every divot that did not have sand in it. No lie; at one point we had 8 sand containers in our cart so he could fill those in anywhere we stopped. It was a constant annoyance.
I’m not sure why it was worth over $100 to play here. Bag drop guys didn’t take my bag from me when I arrived. They didn’t clean my clubs afterwards. We saw the cart lady twice and one of those times we had to flag her down to stop. Just an ok experience this time.
We're sorry to hear about your recent experience at Jacaranda. We strive to offer the best customer service and course conditions in the area and it's disappointing to know when we fall short. We sincerely appreciate the feedback and hope you'll give us an opportunity to redeem ourselves in the future.
Great staff not worth the money
Great staff hands down! Greens were very poor condition,70% of the tee boxes were in poor condition, fairways were above average. They fertilized the fairways so cart path only adds to the below average conditions. Not worth $70 a rounds. The only reason I’m writing the review is because I did not get what I paid for, $50 or less I wouldent be writing the review.
While we're glad to hear the staff was great, we're certainly disappointed to hear that you did not enjoy the conditions of the golf course. We sincerely appreciate the feedback and we hope you'll give us the opportunity to impress you in the future.
Excellent and enjoyable golf course
Very good course with moderate challenging layout. Its condition is great even though the greens were treated with sand perhaps recently. The pace was excellent (about 3 hours) to play alone. I liked it a lot.
We are so glad you enjoyed your round at Jacaranda and we hope to see you again very soon.
We are so glad to hear you were able to play Jacaranda for the first time and that you had a 5 star experience! Thank you for sharing. We're looking forward to round #2!
First-Class Experience
I don't think I've ever had a better customer service experience at a golf course, from the bag boys to the staff at the restaurant (which I highly recommend). The course is a tremendous challenge for a casual golfer like myself and my friends, but the length of the course is manageable and allows for good shots to be rewarded. Will definitely play again!
Wow! This is the kind of review we love to read! We will be sure to pass it along to all of our staff. Thank you so much for sharing. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
We sincerely appreciate the 5 star rating and hope you'll visit again soon.
Excellent Course
This was an excellent course in very good condition (the greens were a little rough as they seemed to be tackling a weed problem). Overall a good value and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Thank you for the great review. We appreciate the feedback and look forward to seeing you soon.
East Course
Played July 31st and the wind was strong, made the course play super long. Fairways were great, greens played fast. Hard to hold the green when the course plays long and have to hit longer irons onto the greens. Staff was accommodating and pace of play was excellent. One of the best courses I have played in South Florida.
Thank you! We are so glad to hear you had a good experience despite the wind. We hope you'll be back again soon.
Great course
Course is in great condition. The staff always does a great job maintaining the course. I always enjoy playing there.
We're so glad you enjoy playing Jacaranda. We appreciate your loyalty and look forward to your next visit.
Great course, excellent staff. But...
I was in town on vacation and got my round through golf now. First of all this course was in superb condition and the staff was professional and friendly. I was paired with two good golfers from the area who were really nice guys. I was looking forward to a great round but there was a huge group in front of us and a juniors tournament on the other course (east side). So we followed the large group. The large group were nice guys but zero golf etiquette and so darn slow. We left the course after seven holes of the slowest play I’ve ever seen. Anyway the staff was very understanding and took care of the local guys and golf now made it right for me. This course was hands down the best I’ve played in this area and I come down every year.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post a review. We are sorry you had those issue but very glad to hear that we (and Golf Now) handled them appropriately. We sincerely appreciate your business and look forward to seeing you soon.
Solid layout
This is the less hyped cousin of the East course, but I like it. Fairways, despite rain during the week, were in excellent shape. I would've given the course a higher rating, but the greens had recently been punched and were a bit lacking. They should come back nicely. Solid layout.
Thank you for taking the time to review the West Golf Course. Many locals and members do prefer it to the East and we often find ourselves defending the "little sister." We are so glad to hear you enjoyed it and hope you have an opportunity to play again once the greens have had a chance to heal.
Very enjoyable experience
Good course, good conditions, good people, will definitely go back again!
Thank you for your kind words. We are glad you had an enjoyable experience and look forward to seeing you again soon.
Good layout.
Sadly we got suckered by GolfNow. No mention of the greens being freshly punched. Felt like we overpaid by a good bit. Next time I use the app I'll call the course first to check on the condition. Lesson learned. Much cheaper course to play in better condition in the area.
We're so sorry to hear you felt that you were "suckered." This is the time of year that most courses are aerifying and we always spread out that necessary maintenance between the two golf courses. We are discussing different ways to inform our customers of this maintenance in advance. Please visit the calendar on the website for future maintenance dates. We hope to see you again soon.
While we're glad to hear you enjoyed your round, it's disappointing to know you did not receive the type of service we strive to provide at Jacaranda. Rest assured, that situation will be addressed immediately. We hope to see you again soon.
