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.

Fun Course
Course is in great shape. Very challenging in 20+ mph winds. Still had a lot of fun.
Always consistent
Jacaranda layout always provide very good playing conditions. I was first out as a single and enjoyed a 3 hour round. Sporty layout on the west side that plays to risk - reward shot execution. Play Jacaranda and you will be hooked.
Great conditions
Went as a single at the end of the day. Paid $40 and played all 18 plus 3 more before dark. Conditions were great except for the lazy and dis respectful players who can't be bothered to fix a ballmark or rake a bunker. Will be going back
Wonderful! We're glad you took advantage of the late afternoon rates and enjoyed the conditions on the course. We work hard to fix ball marks and rake bunkers when guests forget to do so and appreciate you bringing that to our attention!
Top quality course
I played the West course - shorter than the East Course, but as challenging for an intermediate player.
Jacaranda has a beautiful landscape and the staff is so very friendly. I intend to go back frequently. I highly recommend.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review the course and we are happy to hear you plan to keep coming back. It's always nice to hear that the course and the staff exceeded your expectations.
Thank you so much for rating our golf course. We are glad you enjoyed your experience and look forward to seeing you again soon.
A must play course in S. Fla!
Beautiful condition. Fairways like carpet, greens quite large, @ a 9 on the stimp! Staff extremely customer oriented! I thought the price was a little salty, but it was country club shape! There are two courses, I played the west! This is a must play if your @ Ft. Lauderdale!!
Thank you so much for the awesome review. We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed the West Course and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
Good layout and course conditions
Very good overall experience. Nice layout and very good course conditions. My first time at Jacaranda. East Course is considered the better/more challenging track but I was very pleased with West Course. Highly recommend.
We are so glad that you enjoyed the West Course! Its conditions are just as pristine as the East Course and many local players and members prefer it to its sister course. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Thank you for taking the time to review the course. We would love some more input about your experience so we can make it even better next time.
Guys trip
Played the West course on Thursday 2/16/17 to kick off our guys trip. Course was in great shape and some of the best greens I have ever putted on.
Jacaranda is locked in our rotation of courses when we make our annual trip to south Florida
We are thrilled to hear that the West Course was a highlight of your guys trip to Fort Lauderdale! We look forward to your next visit!
Excellent course in Fort Lauderdale
First time playing this course based on reviews. Excellent service and course conditions. Tough greens with pin in difficult locations. Well worth the money in particular with GN hot deals. Certainly will be back for more rounds.
Great Course
We have played this course many times before. Every year, we look forward to being here. Once again, the course was in excellent condition and enjoyable to play. We brought a guest this time and she also found the course to be enjoyable. Used every club in the bag!
A nice getaway
I've played both courses here a bunch of times and I like them both. Well Worth a visit. Maybe a little pricy compares to a few others in the area.
Great layout but...
As I've read in other reviews, this is an excellent course in good shape especially for the amount of play it gets. Challenging but fair. Pace of play was good. Problem with starter as many others have stated. Not exactly the most friendly. If u want your foursome to stay at the starters hut, just tell them. We went to putt, came back and he lets another group go out (prior to our tee time) because he didn't have our other cart number? Too much attitude. Price is a bit steep. Not worth the full fare but discounts are available on golf websites.
Sweet course and setup
Staff was really friendly (starter was a little stressed). Course was in great shape. A pretty course to play.
Liked the clubhouse for an after beer round.
I'd consider this a sweet course for a mans golf trip.
We'll be back 100% next year and I forgot to mention how much I loved the hole flyover views on the cart. Really helped not knowing the course!
Avoid this place
If you are not a member the staff treats you poorly. Do not place here unless you like be treated as a second class golfer.
Very nice layout
Most holes are challenging. Greens are true. Water and sand in play on most every hole. First time playing West and East courses. Very nice surprise and I'll definitely come back.
