East at Jacaranda Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
The East Course is one of two four-star rated championship courses at Jacaranda Golf Club. Both golf courses have a tropical landscape covered with ponds, canals, colorful landscaping, and of course plenty of swaying palms. The East Course is the longer of the two courses. It has served as host for several PGA and USGA tournaments and qualifying events. The layout features tree-lined, undulating fairways and raised, sloped greens. It offers a challenge at almost every turn with 80 bunkers strategically placed throughout and water hazards on 15 holes. Some of the bunkers are built into the mounding complexes, giving them sod faces and high lips that are difficult to navigate. Those that manage them successfully though will be rewarded with excellent scoring opportunities. The popularity of the two golf courses has affirmed Jacaranda as one of the best places to play in southeast Florida.

Thank you for visiting us all the way from Switzerland! We're so glad you enjoyed the course and the staff!
Great condition
Despite several days of rain the course was in excellent condition with only 5 holes as cart path only. Bob, the starter, did a great job of putting me with another single and a twosome to form a foursome. Pace of play was great. We never had to wait between shots and were not pushed. Played in slightly over 4 hours.
That is great to hear! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for returning to Jacaranda for another round. We hope to see you again soon.
Great staff and value. Definitely my favorite course in the Fort Lauderdale area.
We're so happy to be your favorite course in the area. Thank you for sharing. See you soon!
Pretty good course
Thought it was slow. Also the greens were a little slow.
Thank you for playing Jacaranda. We look forward to exceeding your expectations soon.
Back to 5 star
Last year I had to take away a start due to course conditions. My hope was that they would be back to standard this year and they were. Both courses at Jacaranda have amazing staff. This is all around from the bag drop , pro shop, starters, kitchen. It is a testament to the management that staff is that happy working on Christmas Eve and Day. In the 4 years I have been playing over the holidays at this course I haven't had a bad word to say about staff.
The East course is a fun course that brings in water and strategic bunkering into play on many holes. There are holes where you have to think from the green backwards if you want to give yourself the best chance to score as some pins can be hard to get at from the wrong side of the fairway. The greens are in great shape and have enough speed and undulation to make you have to read them well. I always consider Jacaranda a "home club" in Florida and would have no problem playing there elusively as it provides a great test of golf in a phenomenal atmosphere.
This is WONDERFUL! We appreciate you giving us another opportunity to exceed your expectations and we are thrilled to know we succeeded. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!
Very nice course
Enjoyed the round for our first time there. Wee will be back .
We're glad you were able to play Jacaranda for the first time and look forward to round #2!
Thank you for taking the time to rate Jacaranda. We look forward to providing you with a 5 star experience very soon.
We sincerely appreciate the feedback and look forward to seeing you again soon.
Great Course
Played the East course today. Fairways are in great condition. Greens were good, rolled true. Pretty forgiving course. Friendly staff. Definitely a must play!
We're so glad to be on your "must play" list and appreciate wonderful review!
Very Nice Quality Course
Lots of tee boxes so pick the distance that fits you. This course can stretch over 7200 yds. I played the 3rd tee and with a pretty good breeze blowing, that was all I can handle. Course is very challenging. Quick greens, some very deep bunkers but course is laid out fair.
And don't skip the lunch. They had a buffet with salmon, chicken Marsala, etc. for $12 that was unbelievable.
Thank you so much for the great review. We're glad you enjoyed the course and the food and hope you'll be back soon.
Our "go to" golf course in South Florida
Never disappointed with our golf rounds here. From the moment you arrive to the time you drop off your golf cart, the staff is always friendly and the course is always in immaculate shape.
We can't ask for a better review than that! Thank you SO much.
Pleasurable

Thank you for continuing to support Jacaranda. We appreciate your business and look forward to seeing you soon.
Had 8 groups of ladies teeing off before us on holes 1-8
We had a 12:40 tee time. when we booked the round we were not informed by GolfNow that there was a shotgun start with 8 groups of ladies teeing off before us on holes 1-8. The starter was unable to get us off before them or squeeze us on to the back 9. As a result it took 5 and a half hours to complete the round. My playing partner had a dinner engagement at 6:00 and left on the 13th hole at 4:30. On the 12th hole a par 3 there were 3 groups on the tee. This was ridiculous. GolfNow should have informed of of this and we would not have played at Jacaranda that day. It was a waste of money and a very frustrating day for us. GolfNow should be refunding me for my green fees paid especially as a GolfNow plus member. This is very disappointing.
We're sorry to hear you had a disappointing experience. Golf Now was most likely not aware of a tournament we had that day, but regardless, a round should never take that long to play. We sincerely hope we have the opportunity to earn your business again.
unannounced tournament
We were not told that there is a tournament!!! I would not have booked this tee time have I known!!
I had to stop playing after 5:30 hours at hole number 11. The pace of game was horrible and took all the fun out of the game. We deserve a rain check from the course or GolfNow.
