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.

Coure needs attention

A challenging layout. would be made a little more user friendly with a picture of the holes on the score card or on the monument at each tee. The greens are the grainiest that I have ever played on. If putting into the grain your ball would check up quickly. The greens need a complete renovation for this course to be playable.

Fantastic course

One of the top courses in south Florida. It can be a bit pricey during winter season (paid ~$100). Course was in great shape. Nice practice area. Pace was decent and it was packed. There are a few holes that have water that you can't see from the tee so expect a few drops the first time you play. I will definitely go back and will rate it 5 stars during non-busy season when price drops.

wonderful course

The tee time manager outside was a total jerk and treated us very poorly. He even made us play with a group of golfers that had an earlier start time and were already playing the course. Also, charged $45 for my girlfriend to ride, more than I payed for the entire round! I loved the course but would not return due to the unpleasant experience.

Really enjoyed my round

Perfect practice facility
Nice layout not too toght. Water is not much of an issue.
Fairways could be played summer rules. But a couple of plugged in.
Greens were fast are true roll. Very good.
Pin placements were tough; could roll off greens on puts!
I havé played Woodmont, Héron Bay and Bonaventure East this week. Jacaranda West is the best.
Play this course; you won't regret.

Need a map

Super course. Really enjoyed it - especially once a club member joined us at the 10th tee. Most holes don't need knowledge of the course but many do, yet there is no diagram of the holes on the score card or at the tee box. For a high end course this seems rather lacking! Everything else was great . We really liked the greens - fast, run true but take some careful reading as many havesubtle contours. On the last hole there is so much sand we thought we'd been transported to the beach!

No complaints at all

The service and course was excellent. The elevated greens consistent on most holes made club selection particularily difficult

Very good Greens and Tee boxes

I played the East course today. I would say the course is average in terms of difficulty. The Greens and tee boxes are in very good shape but the fairway is average. I would say the regular price is way too high for this course. I definitely will play this course again when I find some very good deals again.

Played east and west on back to back days. Two different courses in terms of scenery. Both are just as much fun to play as the other. Fantastic conditions. Customer service is outstanding!

Nice course. Great, fast greens

The course is worth the deal on golf now. Greens were fast and in great shape. Did take about four hours, but overall I would play here again. Starter was a little confused. Said he was going to get us off early, but we wnet off at our scheduled time.

Great course, pro shop was a not real inviting...

Excellent course, very well maintained. Greens are fast and true, can be tough to hold. I played on a windy day, flew some greens and got into trouble. Nice driving range, starter and bag attendants were great. Pro shop was a little stuck up...

Great features

Challenging blend of hazards. Beautiful area and very well maintained. Greens were immaculate. Due to a heavy rain, it was cart path only, yet there were only a few soft spots.
