Jacaranda Golf Club

West at Jacaranda Golf Club is a Broward County stalwart, a public course that has long been a proving ground for aspiring South Florida professionals and a welcoming haven for weekend golfers. Carved from the typically flat Florida landscape in the late 1960s, the West course, designed by Mark Mahannah, offers a classic, straightforward test. The layout favors accuracy over raw power; its relatively tight fairways, lined by mature trees and strategically placed water hazards, reward precise ball-striking. While lacking the dramatic elevation changes of mountain courses, the subtly undulating greens demand a deft touch with the putter. Jacaranda’s West course has long cultivated a fiercely loyal local following, many of whom have called the course home for decades and whose friendly rivalries add to the community vibe. Despite not being a host of major professional tournaments, Jacaranda's accessible nature has solidified its place as a beloved community hub. One of the most enduring aspects of Jacaranda's West course is its role as a launching pad for local talent, where many tour pros honed their skills and built lasting bonds with their fellow players.
