Played the recently renovated and reopened Jacaranda Golf Club East Course yesterday. I had played it once before many years ago when I lived in Miami, but didn’t remember much about it. It looked like they added lots of coquina waste areas and re-dis a lot of greens and green surrounds.
People travelling to South Florida are often looking for recommendations and the locals struggle given the dearth of options. I think anyone would be happy playing this course. It’s got wide enough corridors not to feel claustrophobic, and a good mix of holes to keep the round interesting.
The highlights of the round were:
- 4 birdies for me;
- Watching my friend who plays infrequently be an absolute wizard with his SW inside 60yds all day; and
- Getting randomly paired with aspiring young pro as he was preparing for a MLGT event. Dude’s swing was a more compact version of Jake Knapp’s and he was hitting 340+
all day. Probably shot -6 or -7 from 7220+ and made it look too easy.
