West at Jacaranda Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Beautiful course
Wish we would have discovered this course at the beginning of our month in Florida. We would have played it even more often.
It's always nice to see 5 star/Excellent ratings! We are so glad you enjoyed Jacaranda and hope to see you again soon.
Great day and nice course.

Thank you for the 5 star rating! We hope to see you again soon.

Course in outstanding condition
Played the West Course which was in great condition from tee green. All the staff was friendly and helpful, especially the starter, Randy.
We're glad to hear you enjoyed Jacaranda and that Randy treated you well! Thank you for taking the time to post a review.
Thank you for the great rating. We're glad you enjoy our club and hope you'll be back for another round soon.
Always great
This course never disappoints. Great condition but the bunkers are terrible. Pace of play was torture while the marshal sat under a tree.
It's so nice to know that you're never disappointed when you come to Jacaranda. We appreciate the feedback regarding the Ranger and pace of play, and assure you we will address that directly with our staff. We hope to see you again soon.
Thanks so much for the 5 star rating! We're glad you enjoy Jacaranda and hope to see you again soon!
Thank you! We're glad you felt we deserved an excellent rating and we hope you'll be back at the club again soon.
Thank you! We appreciate the 5 star rating and hope you'll be back to Jacaranda soon!
Good pace
Starter paired 4 singles and got us off 10 mins early. Played a nice pace on a good layout. Conditions were good would have been very good but there were some spotty greens. Hope they clean them up before I come back in May.
We're glad to hear the starter was able to pair you up and that you got out ahead of your scheduled tee time! We look forward to seeing you in May!
West better than East course
Jacaranda has become my general 'go to' course in the area and once again it did not disappoint. Had played Plantation Preserve (PP) the day before and Jacaranda West greens and overall conditions were much better than at PP -wish I had known that beforehand. I also ended up doing a replay on the Jacaranda -East Course and the greens didn't look as 'nice' as the West but still rolled smooth with decent speed.
Thank you so much for the great review. We're glad you enjoyed Jacaranda's West Course. It tends to be the local favorite! We hope to see you again soon.
Top shape conditions
Everything was excellent but you´ve got to use to putt on fast greens.
I made a lot of 3 putts unfortunatly !
I played with Ron a very nice guy from Rhodes Island and Yves a snowbird from Quebec and a good player...
I wish to have the opportunity to play there more .
Michel
Thank you! We are so glad your enjoyed your experience at Jacaranda. Those greens can get the best of a lot of us! You'll just have to come back more often to get used to them!
Overall an excellent experience
Played twice in 5 days and enjoyed both rounds. Conditions are fine, save for the bunkers which were having sand added the second time I played. Otherwise, no complaints. Firm and fast course with very good greens.
We sincerely appreciate the excellent review. It's always nice to know when a guest leaves happy and we will look forward to your return to Jacaranda!
Great course,
Very nice course a bit pricey but it is one of the nicer courses in the area.
Thank you for taking the time to post a review. It's the busy season so prices are a little higher everywhere, but we do reinvest in the property throughout the year to keep the courses in great condition. See you soon!
Thank you for taking the time to rate Jacaranda! We are looking forward to your next visit!
The way it should be !
I found the staff courteous and helpful. The course conditions were perfect ! Fairways tightly cut like a carpet. Uniform rough and bunkers. Manicured around the greens and bunkers to perfection ! Beautiful flowers, plants, and palms throughout. Florida golf at its best. I highly recommend playing this gem. Golf, the way it should be.

That is what we LOVE to hear! Thank you for the wonderful review of the West Golf Course. We are so happy to know you enjoyed the "perfect" course conditions. Our staff works incredibly hard to keep the courses in excellent shape throughout the year and it's always nice to know when a guest leaves happy. We hope you'll be back again soon.
Recomended!! But expensive
Paid a good price Before 16:30. But dont forget to bring your clubs. 70usd to rent them...
and i could play just 14 holes, before the sunset... But very Nice course. Wanna play again with my own clubs!!
We are looking forward to that next visit when you bring your golf clubs and get in a full 18 holes! Thank you for taking the time to review us and share your experience. We will see you soon!
Very plain layout. Course in below average condition. Many traps not racked in days. 8:50 tee time. Cart was without key for restrooms, no sand in divot sand container, no rake(rakes are on cart). GolfNow has rating at 4++; sorry, no way.
We are sorry to hear you were not impressed while visiting Jacaranda. The bunkers are raked daily by our maintenance staff. We do appreciate you bringing the lack of sand and restroom keys to our attention and we will be sure to address that with our bag staff. We apologize for that inconvenience. We sincerely hope you return to Jacaranda again in the future.
