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.

Those Who Know Go
I lived in South Florida years ago. Jacaranda was always a quality course - one of the best kept in S FL. Nothing has changed. In March it was in perfect condition. The fairways were spotless and the greens ran so true I actually made putts. My back 9 got rained out, but the 19th hole was so fun that I didn't care. Great service from the cart boys, pro shop, starter, and bartender. Top notch! Top notch!
Thank you for your review! We are so thrilled that you enjoyed your overall experience at Jacaranda. We think it is great that you returned after a few years and still consider us one of the best in the area. We hope to see you back again soon for your next round!
Don't miss this one!
I had a terrific time at this course. Fairways and greens were in good shape, staff were super friendly and helpful, and the price was very reasonable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
Thanks for the five star review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed our course conditions and friendly staff. We hope to see you back again soon.
Aeesonm

Thanks for the five star review! We are pleased that you enjoyed your round. We hope to see you back again soon.
Great buy expensive
Great corpse but expensive compared to others in the area. I guess you get what you pay for here.
Thanks for the review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you back again soon.
1st time Playing here
My buddies and I take a yearly trip to Miami area and look for a couple of courses each time. This course might just end up on the must play list. While the course was challenging, it was fair. The greens were well kept and everyone was extremely nice and helpful at the course and clubhouse. After a hot day, we were able to utilize the clubhouse for a quick shower without needing to get back to South Miami. If you're in the area, try the West course.
We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your round. We hope you come back soon for your next round!
Amazing course
Perfectly manicured, wide fairways, and nice greens. I will be back on my next vacation.!
Thanks for the review! We are excited to have you back for your next round.
Good value
Played the West course and conditions were great. Course was empty so pace of play was pretty quick great staff.
We are very happy to hear that your enjoyed the course conditions as well as our staff. We hope you come back soon for your next round!
Best in the area
I played the WEST course. I used golfnow and got a great rate. We were a little early and they let us go out sooner than expected. The first 12 holes went by in under 2 hrs, then it backed up a little. We paired up with the 2-some behind us, and didn't have to wait very much after that. The course is laid out nicely. VERY friendly staff from bag drop to club house. A little bit of maintenance was going on, but nothing too bad. Course plays nice from the back tees (1 tees) They number their tees 1-5 on each hole. The 1/2 tees are the way it's designed to play, anything else is too short on most holes for a 8-14 handicapper.
The wildlife their is amazing. Huge lizards and different type of birds are all over the course. We saw an Iguana that was over 3 foot long! Pretty awesome course. Green were nice, but didn't break as much as they looked. Sand was decent, but probably best if you rake your lie first, then drop cause the middle of the bunkers are THIN!
After the round, the club house let us use their showers. It was a nice perk as we had a 3 hour flight that afternoon.
All in all, definitely going to play here again and probably get 4-8 buddies to come along next time. True FLORIDA golf at it's best.
Thanks for the wonderful review! We're so glad that you chose to play at Jacaranda during your visit. We hope you vsit us again for another fun round!
Good course, needs sand
Great pace for a 3 ball on a Monday morning, especially compared to the awful pace on the East course 4 days earlier. Greens were in good shape. Tee boxes and fairways needed divot repair; the bunkers desperately needed sand. Even after 5 sunny days, all the bunkers seemed wet, hard, rocky and washed out. Overall the conditions were better on the East course, but I would play either course again.
Thanks for the great review! So glad you enjoyed your time at the course, hope to see you again soon!
Great course
Very satisfied don't live in the area but if I didwoluld play here often , the course was very busy as there was a large outing on the east course but once we got out we played in about 4 and 1/2 hours not too bad for a Saturday with one course closed
Thanks for the 5 star review! We hope you come back and visit for another great round.
Nice round
Beautiful course and the staff was very friendly and heplpful. Would highly recommend playing this course.
Thanks for the great review! We hope to see you again soon.
Enjoyable and would Defo play again
Pleasantly surprised with layout and condition of course.
Booked through golfnow for a 820am tee off. Asked starter to be paired up as it seemed busy at check in at pro shop. There was a 3 ball about to go, so joined up with them. Great company.
Played from tee 2 and Course layout was good with a variety of holes with water, bunkers and trees all to be navigated through. Course condition was good and the greens speeded up massively once the sun came up.
Speed of play wasn't fast, just over 4 hours for a 4 ball. There appeared to be a lot of erratic players out there.
Only downside was 17th tee, the boxes were placed on a mountain, you either had an uphill or downhill tee shot.
Would definitely play again if in the area.
Thanks for choosing to play at Jacaranda while visiting! We're glad you enjoyed the course and was paired up with a good group. Hope to see you again!
A very good golf course
We are four on a golf vacation in Orlando and decided to visit Miami and Florida Keys also. I searched for a good golfcourse to play on our way back and after a long search found Jacaranda Golf Course. We liked what we saw on the internet and decided to go there. We played the west course and we were very pleased. It is one of the best courses I have played, the fairways and greens are in very good condition. Some water, of course, but it is not very much in play.
Thanks for the excellent 5 star review! We're so glad you chose us for your vacation and hope to see you again in the future!
Good layout
Enjoyable course with challenging holes and scoring opportunities. Well maintained. Good greens.
Great club for the value
The courses (east and west) are challenging and are well maintained. The staff from the pro shop, starters, bag and cart personnel, restaurant and cart service is professional and capable of taking care of your needs.
You will enjoy bringing clients or friends for a round at one of the best public courses in South Florida.
Thanks for the great review! We're so glad you enjoy everything the course has to offer and we hope to see you again soon.
Nice Layout
The west course has a nice layout to it. The fairways are well groomed. The greens a little thin in February and early March but playable. The staff are very friendly and accomodating.
Beautiful day-beautiful course
I have always enjoyed my days @ Jacaranda. Both courses are well maintained. While the West is a bit shorter than the East it is every bit as lovely & challenging. The staff is friendly & helpful plus having nice locker room & lunch facilities.
Thanks for the excellent 5 star review! So great to hear that you consistently choose to play at Jacaranda and we hope to see you again!
Nice course
The course was in very good conditions! I'd play there again.
We hope to see you again!
Thanks for your review! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your round with us. We hope to see you back soon for your next round at Jacaranda!
