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.

Well done! This is a great example of how to run a course during virus crisis!

A great example of how golf courses should handle golf during virus crisis. Great check-in, staff all had masks with everything marked for social distancing. Course in very nice shape.

Chaotic and over crowded

Course is in good shape. Pace of play was backed up from the 2 hole. I wanted to play by myself and not with people I don’t know, they told me no, which was unaccommodating considering the times were facing currently. If they don’t want singles don’t allow them to book and make sure you state that to 3rd parties or on your website. Course is also selling expired products on the bev cart. Not a good experience at Jacaranda.

What a difference a year makes

This is definitely not the same course we played last year looks like the maintenance has been lacking severely. Not sure what’s going on there but they need to figure it out fast because the People I played with We’re also very disappointed. For the money you pay green should be spectacular fairway should be great as well. Hope they can turn it around

This course is well maintained

Played here on a beautiful day with hardly anyone playing cause of corona cancellations. The course was fantastic except some of the greens had some brown which did not effect the putting at all they said it was due to some colder weather then usual over winter. Would come back here without hesitation

Slow Day on the west..

Still one of the best conditioned public courses in broward county. Conditions of the course were mostly perfect. 1 or 2 tee boxes need help. Greens rolling slow for Jacaranda but are in good shape. Fairways, rough and bunkers are as expected.
Usually the starters are on top of things. We started the day with 3 groups on the first hole and it stayed that way the entire round. Made it impossible to get any kind of rhythm. Saw a ranger on 9, said he would do something but it never changed. Cart girl was very nice and saw her 3 times.

Always Enjoy This Course!

The fairways and tee boxes were in excellent condition, but I was disappointed in some of the green that had some "burned" or diseased spots, In addition, the bunkers I encountered (thankfully not many!) had more stones and other debris than sand... so much that I was concerned about damaging my club! I was paired with another single player and a twosome of ladies... all quite congenial so it was a fun round.

Still Solid Track

The easier of the two sides but don't underestimate the West Course. A solid test of golf awaits on a very attractive course. The greens didn't look great (a little burnt looking) but rolled well. Fairways are lush and ball doesn't get very dirty on this course as there are few sand spots. A little expensive but worth the extra investment. In a region of diminishing golf courses Jacaranda is still a solid track
