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.

Beau terrain
Bien entretenue, fairways comme du tapis.
Greens excellents fondus avec le fairway alors possible de chippé près des verts
Exceptional course
One of the best public courses I have played in South Florida this year. Played both the east and west course but it was the west course that we enjoyed the most. Tee boxes were clean and green, fairways smooth and tight and the greens rolled true and quick. Good food selections at 19th hole. Only thing I didn't like was I don't like courses that don't allow you to drive your cart to the car.
Do not play there is you are a high handicapper. Play at the other Miami courses.
The course has a great layout and helpful and friendly staff with one exception - the course ranger. I am a high handicapper and was in the Miami area for a vacation and thought I would play this course based on other reviews. I usually don't write reviews but felt compelled to write how rude the course ranger was. We played on a day that had late afternoon rain in the forecast. On the 7th hole she asked that we speed up. We skipped the remainder of the hole and went on to play the 8th. The ranger was there every step of the way. She nagged us again and would not allow us to let the players behind us go ahead. On the 9th hole it started to rain and the thunder siren went on - everyone was grounded until it cleared.
Last year I played at over 25 different courses in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Myrtle Beach. For the amount we paid and the rudeness of the ranger we would never go back. As I stated at the beginning the rest of the staff was great. BTW, we played on Miami Springs and the experience was night and day (no rude park rangers). Thistle Golf Course near Myrtle Beach is a far superior golf course and they treated every golfer with respect, even the high handicappers.
We are so sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with one of our employees. We pride ourselves on exceeding our guests’ expectations by offering an outstanding product as well as exceptional customer service. We’re certainly glad you felt the rest of our staff was great, but we know that it only takes one bad encounter to ruin the entire experience. We are going to message you privately in an attempt to rectify the situation and hopefully regain your trust and your business. We sincerely apologize.
2 good 18s
Although I played in January greens in March were not as good. Disappointed with green condition. Good deal thru Golfnow in January. Not worth the $ in March!
Fairways like English lawns
Although not cheap this course was in the best condition of those we played in the area. Greens were good but a bit slow. We would definitely play the course again.
Thanks for the review! We hope to see you out on the course again soon!
Excellent and a must play public course
The fairways and greens are in excellent conditions. Both the East and the West are equally good where the East is more challenging. This is one of the finest course at the Fort Lauderdale area and it's a must play for anyone, young to senior.
Thanks for the great review! We're so glad you enjoyed both course and we hope to see you again soon!
Good course
Fairways were great. Some of the greens needed attention.
Thanks for the review! Hope to see you again soon.
Fantastic course, likely best value for money in the Miami area
We ended up playing 3 rounds, 2 on the West and 1 on the East course - it was that good! Particularly the West course was amazing; challenging layout without being stupid difficult. Great shape, both greens and fairways; beautiful holes throughout, a true visual pleasure. Green fee was $100 and replay $50, definitely worth it - even more so now that it is peak-season. To top it all of, there were a great buffet with well-made dishes for just $11.95 - unbelievable deal!! You can't go wrong visiting this place!
Thanks for the nice 5 star review! We're glad you took advantage of the great deals we offer, we hope you choose us again on your next visit to south Florida!
Fun course
The Jacaranda courses west and east are fun places and the carts with GPS are a pleasure
Thanks for the great review, we hope to see you again!
Atypical FL Course
My wife and I played the West course here while on vacation. The course is not a typical Florida track because it has some hilly terrain and ample space off the tee. The layout is not overly long and can be scored on if your short game is ready. It is scenic and in great shape. We played as a twosome in under 4 hours finishing around noon on a Wednesday. It was well worth the trip/price.
Thanks for the great review! We're glad you enjoyed your round and were able to keep a great pace of play. We hope you come back again!
Heaven
Great place to play very friendly staff and the food was excellent.
Thanks for the great 5 star review! We're so glad you enjoyed your time at the course. Come back again!
Will be back..
From what I heard, this was the tougher of the two courses Jacaranda has (tighter). I would say that this is a very true statement. Had a great day driving and was very impressed with the quality of the fairways and greens (fast and true).. Tee boxes weren't the best I've seen, but seemed comparable to most tee boxes in Florida for February. The layout way great and allowed us to have short irons in on most par 4's and have a chance to go for the green on most par 5's in two.. Will be back again
Thank you for the nice review! We're glad you enjoyed the course and hope to see you again soon!
Love this course!
Played here in Feb 2015 and played again on Feb 14th. Love the West course! Gorgeous warm dry day! We would join the membership if we lived here! Love the holes, especially 18! Staff was terrific but the starter needs to be a little nicer and less intense. The groundskeepers did a great job with such a rainy January! Love the 5 level tee boxes! See you again soon!
Thanks for the great review! We're so glad you enjoy the course and hope to see you again!
nice course
enjoyed everything about the course except $ 17 for a bucket of range balls. Why so much?
The fairways and the greens were excellent. Also, played a fast round.
We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your quick round and the conditions of the golf course. The price of a bucket of range balls is only $9, and if you purchase two the price is $8 per bucket. Is it possible you purchased two? Thank you again for the great feedback.
Best looking golf course
Although short lenght from the white tee, the challenge is there. Must say, it is one of the best looking golf course I played because of the nice landscape.
Thanks for the nice 4 star review! We're so glad you chose to play at Jacaranda while on your visit. We hope to see you soon!
Too expensive for the shape
I played there Last year and before and it's usually a good golf course. But this year there greens, there bunkers are not in a good shape. Plantation Preserve is better.
Thank you for your feedback. We would like to hear more about your time at the course, please email me directly at jackieteetimes@gmail.com
excelent course
One of the best courses in this area.
Thanks for the review!
January Golf in Ft Lauderdale Area
Jacaranda was a wonderful course to play. It was in great condition, even after many days of rain here in this area. It was a cart path only day, which was understandable. The greens were fast but true. Enjoyed our day at this facility!
Thank you so much for the 5 star review! We're so glad tyou enjoyed your time at the course depsite the the rain. Hope to see you again!
Nice course
Kiva kenttä Ft Laudatalessa. Oli Tornado riski päivä ja aleueen GT:t sen mukaisia, 30taalaa pelaaja oli enemmän kuin kohdallaan :-)
Thanks for your review about your time at the course! We keep carts out of the parking lot for safety reasons. We hope to see you again!
