West at Jacaranda Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Hole Number 3 - West Course Photo submitted by msimmering on 11/05/2012
Too expensive
Played this course yesterday, I’ve played several high end courses and this is not one of them.
$149 per person I expected much much more.
Greens were in terrible shape, sand traps were hard and not very user friendly. It’s a pretty course and plays quite short and pretty tight so you need to be good off of the tee. It is challenging.
However the cost is too high.
This is an $80 course and no more.
Beware Price Gouging!
Ridiculously overpriced! Price gouging for the Super Bowl. Avoid at all costs! Many, many better courses for less than half the price!
Excellent Coarse
My brother getting ready to hit a special 8 iron .... that my older brother made for him before he passed away .....
What a special moment. We hope that 8 iron was the crispest shot you hit all day and led to a birdie on the golf course. Thank you for sharing.
Crappy starter
The starter was very inept. He sent me out with the wrong group. My group was on the first green when he told me to tee with a group that already had 4 players. I had to disrupt them and scramble to catch up.
We certainly appreciate the 5 star rating but we're disappointed to know you weren't pleased with one of our staff members. We will be sure to address that with him directly and we hope to see you again soon.
Thanks so much for the 5 star rating. See you soon!
Winter get away
Highly recommend this course. Staff was great and very helpful
Thank you for choosing Jacaranda as part of your weekend getaway. We hope you'll be back again soon.
Nice Place. Fun Track
Fun course with friendly staff. Great layout, conditions were really good except for the greens which were fast but too thin in a lot of spots. I’d play here again though anytime I come back to the area. Overall nice experience.
We're glad you enjoyed the course and hope to see you next time you're in town.
Always enjoyable.
We have been coming here for many years. One of our favorite courses. Great layout and conditions.
That's great to hear! Thank you for continuing to choose Jacaranda.
We appreciate the 5 star rating. See you soon!
Well maintained course
The course was lush but possibly a little over watered around the greens. Great staff and some really good holes. Overall a good golfday.
Thank you so much. We have received quite a bit of rain over the last two month so that may be why it was a little wet out there. We look forward to seeing you soon!
Great Course!!
By far one of the best courses in South Florida!!! The course is in great condition. Fairways and greens are very well maintained. Pace was slow but to be expected on a busy weekend. My only wish is for the rates to be more affordable.
Thank you so much for the kind review.. We're glad you enjoy Jacaranda and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
Thank you for taking the time to rate Jacaranda. We hope to be able to provide a 5 star experience very 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 West is my favourite of the two courses. The raised greens on many holes give it an older feel. The course is not overly long but you have to think your way around it. There is lots of risk reward that makes this course fun each time you play it. The greens are in great shape and are receptive to good shots but will not automatically accept bad shots. The closing stretch can make or break a round. Every detail is well looked after on the course and it is a pleasure to play.
Thank you for coming back to Jacaranda and giving us the opportunity to exceed your expectations. We're thrilled to know we earned back that 5th star and we look forward to seeing you again.
Thank you for the 5 star rating! We look forward to your next visit.
