For the price and because of its reputation of being a LPGA course, we expected better course conditions and service. Unfortunately, both were disappointing. The greens were very sandy, which made it difficult to determine proper putting speed, and some holes had all the tee markers on one tee box. We were not informed of this when scheduling our tee time. As for the service, we waited 15 minutes at the bag drop for someone to either bring us a cart or take our bags. We didn’t want to leave them unattended. Since no one came to get our bags, we took our bags to the back of the clubhouse ourselves. We were told by an employee that they did not have sufficient people working to have a greeter, then he walked away even though he saw I was carrying two bags (mine and my wife’s). He made no attempt to help, even though later he told management he had offered to help. While we were putting our clubs in the cart, we saw four employees hanging around the starter’s station, and they had three people behind the counter, but only one was busy at the time. Not sure why they couldn’t assign someone as greeter. I discussed our concerns with the head pro. He seemed genuinely concerned about our negative experience. He later told the general manager, who came out to the course to let us know that he appreciated the feedback and will try to rectify it. The course is beautiful and has a lot of potential, but I’m not sure it was worth the $160 per player during twilight hours, especially with the mediocre course condition and lack of service.

My wife and I have played this course several times and looked forward to playing it. However, we were extremely disappointed this last round. When we made the reservation through Golfnow, we were not made aware that the greens had been aerated and heavily sanded. They also only had one set of tees, all in the forward tee boxes. My wife had to tee off from the same tee boxes as the men. Had we been made aware of this, we would not have played, especially since we still payed the regular Golfnow price. We felt let down by both the course and Golfnow for not being upfront with customers.

My wife and I had a great time when we visited Florida in October and played the West Course at Jacaranda. We were not disappointed when we returned to Florida this month and played both West and East courses. Besides playing great venues, we were impressed with how friendly all the employees were, especially the starters and the marshalls. The starters were very accomodating when we arrived and allowed us to start earlier than our scheduled tee times. They were also flexible in working me in when I wanted to do a replay. The marshalls were constantly monitoring the pace of play, but were not intrusive. Every once in a while they would stop and ask if we were enjoying ourselves. We thought it was a nice touch. We will definitely play at Jacaranda whenever we are in the Ft Lauderdale area.

Always love to play this course, but the green fee keeps going up.

I have played a lot of nice resort courses in my life. This is by far the most beautiful course I have ever played...a real gem! Great layout, great service, and outstanding course conditions.

Challenging and well maintained golf course. Greens and fairways were in good condition. Staff was very friendly. Unfortunately, the ranger was MIA. We waited on almost every T-box and fairway. Apparently, the problem was with a group ahead of the group we were following. We finally saw the ranger at the 18th T-box. Didn't do us any good.

This is one of my favorite courses in my area. It is always well maintained, even in the winter. Pace of play was good for a Saturday morning.

Second time we had to wait at almost every t-box at Renditions due to lack of marshall's on the course. We like the course but it is extremely irritating when there's no marshall to keep the pace of play moving. We and the group in front of us called the pro-shop and were told all they could do was send a message to the slow group via their GPS system. That didn't work! We were the last group to put out on 18 before it became too dark. Several groups behind us gave up. They really need to fix this problem!

I played this course several times during the winter months because of the fair weather condition we had and the relatively good price due to the winter season. Thought the course layout and condition were great at the time. On the Sunday before Labor Day, my friend and I played Renditions in the morning and Lake Presidential in the afternoon. Both courses are only 15 minutes drive apart. Renditions was in excellent shape, but Lake Presidential was in poor conditions tee-to-green. The person at the pro shop blamed it on the weather. However, if that was the case, why was Rendition in such great shape being only 15 minutes away. I suspect it was poor maintenance. We were very disappointed, especially since Lake Presidential charges much higher greens fee than Renditions and most other courses. Would not recommend due to the price and course condition.
