As noted in the description for the East course, Bobby Weed was brought in to update the two courses at Jacaranda. The East was completed in 2005 and the West was ready for play in late 2006. Although the two layouts at Jacaranda are built over similar terrain, they play quite a bit differently from tee to green. The West is more exacting than the East and requires accurate play with both the driver and long irons. Fairways here are framed by tropical foliage and your approach shots will be to e...
