It’s been 15 years since I played this track. It’ll be 15 years before I think of returning.

Goods:
Nice new paved parking lot.
Friendly bag attendant.
Solid electric golf cart.

Not so good:
Range balls older than me. I’m 70.
Fairways like hard pan. What little grass is really weeds.
Rough is essentially overgrown weeds.
Tee boxes are either dirt or weeds.
Bunkers haven’t been raked since Christ was a baby.
Many Greens had depressions filled with green sand.

Overall

I paid afternoon rate of $45. They should have paid me. One star is too high a rating.
Like the West course the owners need to sell this for development, since they have no interest in maintaining an acceptable golf course.

Starter paired 4 singles and got us off 10 mins early. Played a nice pace on a good layout. Conditions were good would have been very good but there were some spotty greens. Hope they clean them up before I come back in May.

The entire Jacaranda experience has been top notch each time I play there. While I prefer the East both courses are fun, challenging and in very good condition. Only complaint would be allowing 2some stacked back to back to back. Happens everywhere I know but while it makes the 2s happy not so much for the rest of us.

8:23 tee time turned into 8:40, not a good start.. tee boxes were basically weeds. Fairways were a bit tight even for Florida. Greens were fair and playable. Layout was ok no goofy holes. Oh and the group ahead of us was a 5 some, ridiculous for a Saturday morning. The folks I played with were friendly and good company. Thank God because we waited on every shot.
Will not return here.

Top flight from the moment I drove on the premises.
Courteous bag drop and pick up. Friendly pro shop employee and cynical yet helpful starter. I played the West course and got hooked up with the most positive golfer one could meet.

Course was in excellent condition and there were many grounds crew folks working that day to keep this facility in top notch shape.

Not one thing to complain about. Great fairway, tee and green conditions. Maybe it would have been more enjoyable had they turned the fans off as lazy shots were swept up and carted to a bad place.

This was the last place I played on a three week vacation and I won't make that mistake again. No comparison to the other courses I played.

Also I got this play as a hot deal on Golfnow at $65 when the normal GN rate was $89. A great value at either price IMO.

BTW-- Finished in 3.75 hrs. Played as a threesome behind a full course and started at 10:30 am.
