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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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..

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.

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.
