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.

Friendly staff except for...

Good course! Great layout and well maintained.
Staff: Very friendly starter and support staff EXCEPT FOR GENO PICCOLLO at the pro shop. In the two times I have played there this week, he has displayed an unwarranted aggressive and condescending attitude towards me. This is how you expect to start your round of golf!

Course was in good condition.

I’m from the northeast and come to this area once or twice a year it seams. It’s a staple in our choices and one of the best around Fort Lauderdale. In my opinion. It’s usually in its best conditions during the winter months but the Course was in excellent condition for right after summertime.

Highly recommend and will play again and again.

Terrific Fairway Grass

As on the West Course, the tee and fairway grass, which is Paspalum, is excellent for a South Florida daily fee course.

East is mediocre Staff is great

The course is super average. Sand ok. Greens ok not fast not slow. The bunkers ok. Basically there is nothing I will remember about this course. 116$ I’m new to Florida I expect more for the money. Perhaps the Orlando golfing has spoiled me. Staff is the. Best thing about the whole
Place. Friendly and professional.

We appreciate you taking the time to review Jacaranda. It's great to hear that you thought highly of our staff but we're certainly disappointed to hear that you didn't enjoy the East Course. We sincerely hope we have the opportunity to impress you in the future.
