East at Jacaranda Golf Club
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.

Ridiculously Overpriced
Avoid Jacaranda at all costs. Price gouging for the Super Bowl for weeks before and after the game. They’re always significantly overpriced for the quality of courses, but they’re taking it to a whole new level lately. So many better courses around for less than half the price. Beware!
Solid
All around solid experience at Jacaranda East. Conditions were great on tees, fairways and greens. A little moist in some spots of fairways and around green fronts but didn’t take away from the experience in any way. GPS in carts were true. Didn’t really need my laser. Refreshment carta were there when you needed them. Overall a solid experience. I will definitely return as I have many times over the years.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We appreciate you sharing your experience with us and we look forward to seeing you soon.
Great course , great value
I’ve played this course a couple of times before. It’s 30 mins from north Miami Beach and offers the best all round experience in the vicinity. The layout keeps you interested and today the condition. was a superlative.

We're so glad to hear you enjoy Jacaranda and we look forward to providing you with a 5 star experience soon.
Great course
Excellent course, terrific condition , very well managed club. All aspects of Jacaranda are high quality, and well run. Very good condition on East course. I will return soon.
We couldn't ask for a better review than that! Thank you. We look forward to your next visit.
One of the best public courses in S. FL
I played the East but both courses are always near perfect conditions. The East is longer than the West but both courses have equal challenges, near-perfect conditions, and a lot of fun.
Excellent! We are glad you enjoy our club and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
The East is tough
Bring your driver.
This is long and harder than the West course, albeit still fun. The fairways are still soggy from the recent rains so you get no run off your drives or long irons. (frustrating to see a decent drive plug)
I finished the West course yesterday with a decent round and was able to hit most greens in regulation. Today was all about scrambling. You need to be long off the tee, otherwise you are probably a hybrid or 3/4 iron into the par 4s.
I managed to hit about half the greens in regulation today as I was taking a longer club into most holes. The greens on the East course are generally smaller and raised so you need elevation to hold the shot in. Greens were running about 12 again so consistent with the West course.
This is a good challenge and most Par 5s are birdie opportunities if you get off the tee. There is more water on this side however, I found playing off the no.1 tee (blacks) that water did not come into play too often.
Great course and a decent challenge. Achieved the same score as yesterday, but obviously sunk a few putts when it counted today, which is definitely what you need to be doing on the East course.
We appreciate you sharing your experience at Jacaranda and glad you enjoy the club. Thank you for the great review.
Good Challenge
Friendly staff greet you at bag drop & set you on your way.
I had booked the East course but got ushered into the West to play with some locals.
This is a great challenge from the Black tees (no. 1 on the tee box)
The course was a little wet from recent rains so no run on the fairways. Tee shots (most with a driver) need to be out 230m + to allow the mid iron into some tough elevated greens. Greens running at around 12 and very true.
Wind springs up in the afternoon so most of the time you are needing an extra club into the greens.
A good challenge but manageable course if you don’t try and over hit.
Hitting greens in regulation here allows a reasonable score.
I’ll be back to try and beat the West. Par round today off 3 means I left a few putts out there.
Thank you! We strive to provide the highest level of customer service and we're glad you enjoyed the West Course. It's definitely a local favorite. We look forward to your return and good luck breaking par!
We appreciate you taking the time to post a review and we're glad you had a very good experience during your visit. We look forward to turning those 3 stars into 5 next time!
Bad weather
Nice course. Be careful of the forecast if using GolfNow “hot deals”. Was unaware that once you start a round of golf in questionable weather you can not get a rain check. Started in a light rain and on #6 the skies opened up and strong thunder and lightning. Could not play anymore but because it was a hot deal we were unable to get a refund or a rain check
Thank you for taking the time to post a review. We're sorry you ran into some bad weather while you were here and we'll hope you return for a full round soon!
Very nice course , green is very good speed fast
The course is a very good condition
Thank you! Our maintenance staff works very hard to keep the courses in great shape. We hope you'll be back soon.
Iguanaranda
Excellent course have played here many times over the years always well-maintained and challenging the Iguana increase in population is dramatic these interesting a relatively harmless creatures make for an interesting round
We appreciate you taking the time to post about your experience at Jacaranda. We hope you'll be back soon!
Thanks so much for the 5 star rating. We look forward to your return!

Very Nice Course - Nice Conditions - Overpriced
This was my first time playing Jacaranda Golf Club - East Course. I had a good time and really liked the course.
I paid $68 for 18 holes with cart (tax included). I really liked the course and wanted to do do a replay for another 9 holes. After the round, I asked if I could do a replay for just 9 holes (there was hardly anyone out at 2:30. I asked the starter if I would be able to get prior to going into the pro shop, and the starter told me it was wide open and very few golfers out). When I went into the pro shop, and asked about a 9 hole replay, the person told me it would be $35 (plus tax) for 9 holes. I told him I just wanted to do a replay. He told me it was $35 take it or leave it and there was no discount for a replay. I told him fine, I would just leave and not pay MORE THAN 1/2 of what I paid at 9:30 am for a full 18 holes. The person in the pro shop was not friendly, or helpful at all!!!!!
Other than the unhelpful person in the pro shop, the course is in nice condition. The fairways are very wide and forgiving. The greens are smooth, quick and a pleasure to putt on.
The carts have GPS in them which makes it nice and very helpful for someone like myself playing for the first time.
Overall, I had a good day playing golf, other than trying to deal with the gentleman in the pro shop.
We're glad you enjoyed our course conditions as we work very hard to keep the courses in excellent shape all year round. We do not offer 9 holes regular rates; however, the $35 rate that the Pro Shop offered you is our replay rate for 9 holes. We understand that the great rates you may book online may make that rate seem a little high, but the cost to play Jacaranda in October is nearly $100 for 18 holes. We sincerely hope you'll be back again when you're in the area.
