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.

Relaxed atmosphere and good layout

Flew down for a long weekend and got started on the East Course. It's not an overly long golf course, but accuracy is key for some holes. The greens were in good shape, and most were raised up, so missing the green led some difficult shots to get up-and-down. The facilities were very nice, and the staff was friendly. All the carts have a GPS in them, making it easier for someone playing the course for the first time. Would recommend if you are in the area.

Excellent Service and good facilities

I played this course and the Diplomat Resort. The check-in was very quick and friendly. The starter got me off right on time, which was a welcome change from the Diplomat. The course had plenty of water and traps, but the water was not as often in-play as at the Diplomat. There was little or no waiting, even though there was a large golf outing group lined up for the first tee when we finished the front nine. I had to rent clubs, which were in great shape and presented no difficulty. I plan to go back here the next time I am in the Fort Lauderdale area.

Super fast greens

This is one of the best course in Broward County! Beautiful fairways and greens, but keep an eye on those balls when you hit a hook or a slice cause you are going to find some water at some point in time!!! The only thing I would complaint about is the greens are super fast.

Played Jacaranda West before heading back home from a business trip and thoroughly enjoyed the layout and the course. Finding a good public course is getting more and more difficult and I assure you that you will not be disappointed with Jacaranda West.

Jacaranda is one of the nicest courses in Florida

I've played the blue monster, pebble beach and other notable courses but I really like jacaranda. It's always been in great condition, staff is always helpful , and each hole presents a different challenge. A very nice design. In late afternoon I was able to play 18 in just over 2 hours (from the 6000 yard tees). Very easy to get to just minutes from ft Lauderdale airport off of 595. the west course is a joy to play late in the day when the sun is behind you. Highly recommended.

One of the best in Ft. Lauderdale area.

I was alone and they put me with a great playing partner. The course was in great shape. Green fast and true. I got it as a hot deal thru Golf Now, but it would be worth it at full price.

A very fun course with excellent conditions.

This course is definitely worth the trip. A good value if you book it for around $70. Range is a little limited as you cannot hit woods. Turkey sandwich at turn was light on meat and way too much bun. Conditions were excellent as was pace of play.

Good resort golf course

I played both the east as well as the west course. I liked the east course better because it was longer (over 7000) and the greens were in just bit of a better condition (the greens on the west were also good, but they seem to be new greens and still very firm). The layout of both courses is very nice - lots of great design elements especially around the greens. I can really recommend both courses. low handicappers will most likely prefer the east course.
Have fun.

Great Course, Great Experience

We played Jacaranda West as the 7th course out our 7 round golf trip. I'd say it was definitely in the top 3 and there could definitely be an argument for it to be the best course we played. We got on as a Hot Deal at 1:23pm for $64. Incredible value. Challenging course, great layout. I have nothing negative to report about this course. If you can get on for less than $70 it is a steal. I would pay $90 to play Jacaranda again.
