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.

Good course, not great
West course was in good shape. I remember it being in a little bit better condition when I played a couple years ago. Tee boxes and some parts around the green/bunkers were a bit patchy. That's what keeps this from being a five star course. But I still think it's a good value if you can find it for under $75. Wouldn't pay more than that to play.
One of the best in the area
Jacaranda West is always in terrific condition. It's challenging but fair. The greens are excellent. The staff is very professional. Highly recommended when you're in the greater Fort Lauderdale area.
Love both courses!!
Played there a few times. Just love both courses but I prefer the east . Very friendly staff. Very good burger in the club house. I play Jacaranda every time I go in the fort lauderdale area.
Wonderful staff, great courses.
These two courses are a must play in Ft. Lauderdale area. We also played Palm-Aire, Woodlands and TPC Eagle Trace. These courses out classed them all. The staff was exceptionally friendly considering it was Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at 6:15am when we arrived both days. There is a nice range, putting green near each first tee to get loose. This was the only course that actually had breakfast (and coffee!) available. Both courses provided a test as the grass is much different than home. The greens were true and rolled at a good pace. The West course demands more accuracy but is more scoreable.
Again, I cannot say enough great things about the staff, every single person made you feel welcome.
Thank you for the excellent review! We're so glad you picked Jacaranda to play over the holidays! We would love to have you back again next time you are in town!
Good condition , greens rolled well
Would return and would recommend friends. Easy starter for a golf trip to Miami area
We hope to see you back again soon! Thanks for playing at Jacaranda!
Very good value and course
Staff very friendly and helpful from taking bag when I arrived thru pro shop and starter. Ranger on the course was non intrusive but present. Layout is challenging but all skill levels will enjoy it.
Driving Range was beat up and balls were tired. But fine for a quick warm up. You need to remember you are not at a private club.
Played west course from the back tees. Course was in very good condition from tee to green. Typical FL course with water almost on every hole but landing areas are fine and greens were receptive to approach shots. The two traps I was in had oversized rocks mixed thru sand which was annoying and did not add to the experience.
Paid $110 for green fee, cart and range balls. All in all a very good deal for the experience and course. I booked at 8 and teed of at 10:30. How do you beat that. I would definitely play again.
Thanks for the nice review! We're glad you enjoyed your time at the course and was able to book your tee time easily and tee off shortly after! Hope to see you again soon.
One of the best courses in the area
Out of all the courses in Ft. Lauderdale area this is one of my favorites. The course is unique in that is has more undulation than most other courses in the area. I have not played it for several years until this year and apparently they've done some renovations and it shows. It is certainly one of the pricier courses compared to some of the others in the area but the conditions were top notch and the greens were some of the fastest in the area (which I like). There are a lot of forced carries and water does come into play on a few holes but the course is fair for both high and low handicappers if you play the right tees. If you are planning a trip to the area or have not played this course before it's well worth trying.
Very well manicured
I loved it all the way
I played with my wife and she like it also
Thank you for the 5 star review! We hope to see you again soon.
Great course - look no more
In the Ft-Lauderdale, look no more, this is the place to play, either course.
I would appreciate healthier food at 91/2. Every offering has fries.
On thing to improve: Jim's friendliness as a starter (the older individual). Why is he so rude and unpleasant???
Thank you for the review! We appreciate your feedback about your time at the course and hope to see you again soon!
Great value
Wonderful course! Definitely a cut Above the rest.
Thanks for the great 5 star review! We're so glad you enjoyed your time at the course and hope to see you again soon!
Very wet but beautiful
We arrived to a day of heavy rain. We managed to get our round in by playing cart path only. Despite all that the round was enjoyable owing to good greens. Fairways were very wet. Still a good course to play any day of the week.
Thanks for your review! We're glad you were able to enjoy your round, despite all the rain. See you soon!
Jac it up
Jacaranda has been a favorite for years. Never disappointing. Soft greens and great condition, fair ways in great condition. Very challenging tee to green. I advise this course to anyone looking for a competitive round in South Florida. Course management a must and on a windy day VERY tough!
Thank for you the awesome 5 star review! We're so glad you continue to choose us year after year, hope to see you soon!
A MUST play
Wish I had more time! Even with soggy fairways I couldn't ask for a better place to end my stay in Florida. Staff was excellent, but the course was better. With tons of rain the greens still ran perfect.if I lived in area this would be my home course.
Can't wait to return!
Nice! Great to hear you really enjoyed your time at the course! Please come back again!
West before East
Loved the west course! More scenic, tricky tight landing areas made the course very challenging! Loved it
The west course certainly does offer a challenge! Come back again for another fun round!
great course
this course is in great condition even like a private course and the staff are also great
Thanks for the nice 5 star review! Come back again!
Excellent Course
Helpful staff ; after extremely slowly front nine on west course the starter moved us to the front 9 on east !
Thank you for the 5 star review! We hope to see you again soon.
Good choice of the available options
If you're looking to use all of the clubs in your bag, then play this course! Fairways, tee boxes, and greens were in very good condition. The rough was rough; couldn't figure out how to hit out of it during the entire round! And...."water, water everywhere but nary a drop to drink!" Make sure you pack "water balls"...
Good tips! We're glad you had a nice time playing a round at the course. Hope to see you again soon!
Great Round of Golf
To start with, the course is in great shape. Fairways and greens lush and well cut. Then, as twosome, on a Sunday morning, we played in under 4 hours. Good staff, well organized.
Thank you for the 5 star review! We're so glad you enjoyed your twosome round and the overall experience at the course. We hope to see you again soon!
Course is well kept
Very enjoyable, greens are true and fast, fairways are very nice.
Thank you for the review and feedback about your time at the course! We hope to see you again soon.
Golf heaven
This West course just amazed us! The fairways were immaculate, better than greens at other courses! The course was a little wet due to rain the previous day, we started with the 90 degree cart rule but the ranger came by and said only a couple holes needed the 90 degree rule, the rest were open. This helped save the legs a bit. We thoroughly enjoyed our day here, so much so, we had to come back to try the East course. I have to mention that the Starter was really nice, we got there earlier than our tee time and he sent us right out, we were never pushed or waited at any time. The course had generous fairways but you could find trouble with erred shots. The greens were beautiful and on the fast side. Over all, Sheer bliss!
Thank you for the 5 star review! We're so glad you enjoyed the overall experience of the course and that you were able to play both east and west rotations! We hope to see you back again soon.
Thank you for your feedback about your time at the course! We do offer our best rates online so be sure to check out our website, hope to see you again soon!
