About Jacaranda (East)
Jacaranda's East course offers a compelling 18-hole layout, challenging golfers with a par of 71 and a yardage range from 5,747 to 7,307, accommodating various skill levels. Players can choose from five different tee options, including the demanding Black tees for the seasoned players and friendlier tees for others.

What to Expect
Expect a fair challenge here depending on the tee you choose; lower handicaps might find the Black tees to be quite demanding, especially with Water coming into play on several holes. Club selection is vital, particularly on the par threes—keep an eye on the wind, as it can impact your approach shots. The Paspalum fairways play well, but be cautious of the rough; it can be tricky if you're not on your game. Also, prepare for quick greens that can test your short game; patience is key.
