East at Jacaranda Golf Club
About
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.

Great value
Fairways in great condition bad the lies are if the ball is teed up. Very good greens, somewhat difficult to read. Greens could be better if players repaired ball marks and the grass/grain spacing a little tighter for better tracking. But this may be nitpicking as playing for $40 (hot deal) was great value. Fairways alone would bring me back.
We appreciate you taking the time to post a review and we look forward to seeing you again.
East Course was in good shape
The East was in good shape. Nice fairways and fast greens. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were in good shape. Greens rolled well although we noticed some inconsistency in speeds. The bunkers needed a good deep raking. If you tried to splash out a shot you found a thick wet harder surface underneath.
Pace was good and staff was friendly and attentive.
Looking forward to trying out the West course.
Thank you for playing the East course and for posting a review. We look forward to your round on the West!
Thank you for the 5 star rating. We hope you'll be back soon!
VERY NICE COURSE
My God...the course is in beautiful shape. Tee boxes, fairways, sand, greens, etc.....all in beautiful shape. 1 tee box on the back 9 was meh.
Wish the price was a smidge lower, but the course is beautiful.
Way nicer layout and better condition than Plantation Preserve....which I find boring and somewhat redundant.
We're so glad you found the course to be in beautiful shape. Our staff works hard to keep it that way year round and it's always nice to receive positive feedback from a guest. We hope to see you soon.

Clowns
Nachos shouldn’t take an hour and shouldn’t be nasty. Bartenders don’t deserve respect until earned, and should not confront a customer ever. Don’t call the cops on your customers. Don’t expect service at the level this course price would portray. Cart girl was great, not the one with the fat burnt arm.
Better than expected
Pace of play moved right along. The fairways were in great shape and the greens putted out with consistent speed.
The coarse was very organized. Can’t wait to come back and play the east coarse.
Thank you! We look forward to your round on the East!
Great Course

Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed your day at Jacaranda. We hope you'll be back soon!
Totally worth it!
Course was in great condition. Got a hot deal for $70 for 9:59am tee time. Worth every penny. Friendly staff. Ranger did a great job with pace of play. I’ll definitely be coming back soon.
That's great to hear! We look forward to that next visit. Make sure you check out the Jacaranda SCORE! Card on our website. It's a card for locals and it will save you money all summer!
Thank you for taking the time to post a rating for Jacaranda. We look forward to providing you with a 5 star experience very soon.
Jacaranda great condition
Jacaranda was in great condition, pace of play was a little slow but playing behind a tournament so after told by marshal, relaxed and enjoyed course. Greens were true and layout interesting.
Thank you! We love to hear that you had a relaxing day on the course. See you soon!
Jacaranda East
A solid test of golf! The course was in great shape and played very tough. I really enjoyed the entire experience. Wonderful staff, very customer friendly.
We're so glad to hear about your excellent experience at Jacaranda. Thank you for taking the time to share. We hope to see you soon.
One of our favourite courses in S. Florida
We arrived early and they allowed our twosome to go ahead of a party of 4 foursomes. Managed a 3.5 hour round in perfect course and weather conditions.
Awesome! There's nothing better than a quick 18. We're so glad you enjoyed yourselves and we hope to see you again soon.
perfect for travel
Its often tough to get rounds in on reasonably good, well maintained, public courses in the Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale area.
A group of friends, 8-12 of us, have played Jacaranda's two courses for about a decade now each spring.
Both courses have good layouts. I can't describe a distinction. Plenty of challenge in the wind, plenty of choices as to which tees to play. They always do a very good job with the greens, bunkers and tees (many public courses in the area have "issues": keeping up with this. You pay a bit more here, yes, but I think its definitely worth it (particularly if its an escape from winter).
Great warm up range, convenient lunch, bar and snack shop, easy to get to from FLL. People have always been nice and have been very accommodating when changing the numbers of golfers comes up, jumping out sooner when possible (or later when players have issues getting to the course).
This is our "go to" location. I book them because I know everyone, even the pickiest of players, will be happy here (particularly just off a plane from the cold). Just went in March.....still great and consistent as ever.
Try it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Thank you so much for sharing such a thorough review of Jacaranda. We are happy to be your go to course and we look forward to next year!
