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.

Never tee off
Unfortunately I was unable to play the course due to the course running out of rental clubs. Had high hopes to play the course on vacation and on my birthday but no luck. Maybe next time am in Florida next year I can try and play
West course review
Excellent course layout. The second tees were challenging but fun to play. Greens were in excellent shape and the fairways were in amazing shape. Because of the experience on the west course, I would like to play the east before I leave.
Thank you for the 5 star review! We're so glad you enjoyed your round at the course. We hope to see you again.
Don't rent clubs but the course is nice
We came in from out of town looking for a nice course with a club rental. When we went to the pro shop we found out there club rental was $59. No big deal until we found out that we were paying a premium cost for old taylormade 2.0 that We're all dinged and scratched. These clubs are 5 years old and should not pay this high of a club rental. Besides the rental everything else was great.
Thank you for the review and the feedback about your time at the course! We would like to extend a promo code for you to come back and give us another shot, we are getting new rental clubs for the 2016 golf season. Please email me directly at jackieteetimes@gmail.com.
Great value in off-season
I played here for the first time in 20 years and found the renovations to be excellent. I barely recognized the course. It was in great shape except that all the rain had left many fairways soggy. The greens, though, were in excellent shape. The course is moderately difficult for the low handicapper. My only complaint was a foursome that would not let the singles play through.
Thank you for the 4 star review! So great to hear you enjoyed the course after 20 years. Hope to see you soon!
Not worth the price
Average course and extremely slow play made for a less than enjoyable experience. Greens fees to high for this level of course. I've played the East and it's better but for the price look elsewhere.
We are sincerely sorry that you did not have an enjoyable experience on the West Course last weekend. We have received quite a bit of rain over the past week and in order to prevent damage to the courses we were under Cart Path Only rules. This tends to slow down the pace of play. Regardless, we always strive to exceed the expectations of our guests and we are hopeful you will provide us with another opportunity to do so.
East course was great!!
Conditions were wet but the course was still in great shape. Well worth the money to play this course. Cant wait to play again and try the West course.
Thanks for the nice review! We have received quite a bit of rain the past month so the course has been wet. We hope to see you again soon!
Never saw fairways like this on a public course
Beautiful maintained golf course,excellent fairways,nicely designed holes,fair greens in great shape ,a real quality course for a good price can't wait to go back
Thank you for the 5 star review! We're so glad you enjoyed your overall experience and had a nice day at the course! We hope you continue to chose to play at Jacaranda!

Great course, very good greens, friendly helpful staff. Just plain old great experience. Wife and I played by our selves. No body in front or behind. Three and half hour round. In the area don't miss the chance
Thank you for the great review! We're so glad that you and your wife had a fun, speedy round. We hope you choose us again for your next round!

Excellent day of golf, apart from the extreme heat. The course is in excellent shape, especially considering its the middle of summer. Friendly staff, very clean facilities. Had an awesome day if golf! Highly recommended!
Hi there - thank you for the excellent review of the course! We're so glad that you enjoyed the round even through the Florida heat. We hope you come back again soon!
First time at jacaranda
I have heard so many good things about this course and I was fortunate to play there on my birthday for a great price. The course was in excellent condition. The greens were the fastest that I have ever played on. Super fast!! All the traps were very well taken care of. Very long course. I played the east course. I will return to play ASAP.
Happy Birthday! Thanks for choosing us as your birthday round! So great to hear it met your expectations and we hope to see you again!
sand traps and mowing crew
played on 7/62015 course was in great shape less the bunkers.. beautiful and well thought bunkers to make llay tough were like hitting rocks off a driveway. i walked in several other bunkers and got the same result.. plan on being in the sand there is lots of it but bring ur drill to break loose the sand. the course was in super great shape. fairways soft but firms green hard but receptive to balls that spin.. One issue i had was mowing crew present at 10 am? what i couldnt tee at 6 bc mowers would be out however ever hole after 8 i had to watch and or wait for mowing crew.. other than that it was awesoms..
We're sorry to hear about your experience with the mower but are glad to hear you enjoyed the round, despite the waiting inconvenience.We certainly appreciate the feedback about your round and truly value what our golfers say! We hope to see you again this summer.
nice course
Good course, one of the best in the area.Greens a little too slow- even at the uphill puts ball would stop too quick.
Thank you for the feedback and tips. Awesome to hear you think the course is one of the best in the area. Come tee it up again!
Super fast greens
This course is in excellent shape and a GREAT value. I play all over the country and a lot in FL. This course in the upper echelon for sure.
Thanks for choosing us when your visiting south Florida! There is a lot of golf around us and we're so glad to hear that the course met your expectations! Come back next time your in town!
Great Course
This course was in great shape and very enjoyable. So glad I found it on golfnow and read reviews! Only reason I didn't give a 5 was due to greens. They weren't perfect. Good though!!
Thank you for the feedback! Great to hear that by reading our reviews you decided to play the course. Hope to see you again on the course!
Jacaranda west course- Excellent
One of the best public courses in south fl , very fun layout and fairways and greens make you feel like you're playing on tour
Nice! We're glad the course gave you the feeling of being on tour! That's a fun feeling! Come back this summer, thanks for the great review!
One of the best managed courses in the area
Why is this important? because it affects everything else that is important when playing golf: course conditions, managing tee times, getting golfers off, pace of play, equipment in good condittion, etc. I think this is too often overlooked. There are many nice courses around but when they are poorly managed, a simple thing like enforcing pace of play, it can ruin the experience. The only negative that I will mention from my round yesterday, too many golfers don't repair ball marks & the greens were startng to feel the affects. This is very unfortunate for an otherwise impecable course. Not a lot the course can do other than communicate as much as they can. Personally, I would be more strict & if I would catch a golfer not repairing ball marks, I would refund him/hers fees and send them off. There are also plenty of dog tracks around more suitable for these type golfers and golfers that enjoy 5 -6 hour rounds, (are you starting to catch some of my pet peaves?); if you can't follow golf etiquette, and have respect for the game, which in golf is as important as anything else, please don't ruin it for the rest of us, like I said, there are plenty of dog track type courses more suitable for you.
Thank you for nice compliment on how we manage the course, that's one of the best compliments we can receive as a business! We appreciate the feedback on how we can improve. Hope to see you again this summer!
Excellent Course: beautiful, pristine, and immaculate
Played here when in Ft. Lauderdale on business. Loved the course, and was a great value. Only minor complaint was the sand traps -- which I spent a lot of time in. They were hard and gravelly -- not what I would expect to find in a Florida course... especially one on the Coast.
I would definitely come back and play again. Challenging but fair. Greens were quick, but rolled true. One of the most scenic courses I have played.
Thanks for the feedback about the sand traps, we like hearing the good and bad about the course and it helps us improve! Whenever you come back to south Florida, we hope you choose us again so you can enjoy the lovely scenic views!
This week s/b great
Played this course for first time in years. Green were punched 10 days prior and are recovering. Tees & fairways were perfect.
Perfect!
Pretty wide open fairways. Will be going back all summer.
First time back in years? We're glad you came back and that you thought the tees and fairways were perfect! Great to hear even after all those years you enjoyed the round and will come back all summer!
nice course
Nice course, fairly good pace of play. The bunkers were the only thing that would keep it from a better rating. With all the beautiful sand in Florida they should put some in the bunkers.
Thanks for the feedback! That's a great thought and we are always looking for ways to improve the course.
We're so sorry to hear we ran out of rental clubs during your time in south Florida! Please email me directly at jackieteetimes@gmail.com so we can offer you a promo code for next time you are in town.
