Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 2013. Check Bonaventure Golf Club listing for the remaining opened 18 holes.
Bonaventure West is also known as the Resort Course. This 6189-yard course has less water than the East Course and one extra par 3 on each nine. This is a Charles Mahannah layout, showing this renowned golf course architect at his best.
It has wide fairways and undulating greens. The golf course has lots of tropical vegetation and inhabited by wild parrots, blue herons, snowy egrets, and many other forms of wildlife. Fairways are generous, but hole design makes low scoring a challenge.
The course is perfectly suited for golfers of all skill levels

Staff was fantastic right from the Pro shop to the team outside, Marshals were very easygoing and the cart service was the best that we experienced all week. Very enjoyable round.
Fast morning round at Bonaventure
My pay and tee'ed off today at 8:30. The twosome in front of were great golfers so they did not slow us down at all. We even had a Ranger and cart girl out of the course today. Greens were mowed and the Tee Boxes were in great shape. I posted a couple of pictures of the rebuilt 5th and 17th greens. Lots of golfers on the course after we played as the parking lot was semi-full. We went to the bar and had two drafts.
All good at Bonaventure today...
Bonaventure
Its an awesome course, lots of water and narrow fairways. Can be slow but lots of fun.
Bonnaventure
Nice course, lots of water, fast greens. Slow play. Be prepared for at least a 4-hour round. The course needs a warden to move play along. Take a few minutes to look for your ball, drop and move on.
Late round of golf
I played today on the front nine today and had to head home. I only wish I had time to finish 18.
The parking lot was full at 2:00 so I was no rush to mix it up with all the holiday visitors / once a year golfers out there on the course. I went out around 3:45 and played nine holes in one hour. The first, fifth, and seventh greens have been rebuilt and are in wonderful shape. I was able to get on in three shots on the par 5 - seventh hole. Yahoo, this is my most challenging hole on the course. It has a rather wide fairway yet there's water all along the right side.
Great golf and weather conditions today at Bonaventure. I hope to get out again soon once all the holiday visitors have left for town. Otherwise be sure to book a tee time as this course has become quite popular. Evidently the locals are coming back after the three problem greens have been rebuilt. Don't let the "out of date" reviews scare you away. This course is a Gem!
Ignore the old reviews - Great Conditions / Great Price
I played today (08:00) with some of my friends who live here in South Florida. We play here at least once a week and have enjoyed the improvements to the course. The fairways are green and the three problem greens have been completely restored and are in perfect condition.
Holiday visitors / snowbirds are back in town so be sure to get a tee time if you want to play in the morning. The locals have started to come back too and this course can become really busy in the morning.
This courses in abysmal shape
This course has years of absolutely abysmal shape, couple of months of work isn’t going to fix years of issues and lack of care.. Other reviews are clearly just trying to mislead but the matter of the fact is to be charging anything higher than $25 for this pasture is absurd. This course is by far the worst golf course in at the Miami/Broward County area don’t waste your money
Turning around!
This course was in bad shape for the summer as it is so hard to maintain the fairways and greens but now the overall conditions of the course is great! There are some greens and tee boxes that could be better but they will be good for the winter season I'm sure. All the negative reviews aren't really fair. The course is great specially when compared with last year and summer conditions, I will continue to play it as I believe it will be better in the next few weeks and months.
Nice layout, poor TeeOff
TeeOff are scrapped
The greens are slows
The fairway are nice
The layout is very nice
It is worth the amount paid
I will reply that course
Ignore older reviews - the course is doing great!
Don't believe the old reviews! I played this course about 8 months ago for $30 and swore I'd never play it again. Even for thirty bucks, it wasn't worth it. The fairways were cow pastures and the greens were basically all sand and unplayable.
Then a buddy told me he came out on a whim a few weeks ago to play it and that they had completely fixed it up. I decided to give it another shot and WOW! The improvement and turnaround is almost unbelievable. Fairways are in fantastic shape and the greens are mostly great. Tee boxes and rough still need some work but it is getting there and for the money, you can't beat the value.
If you are afraid to play it because of the older reviews - or swore it off like I had - give it a chance. You'll be thrilled at how much it has improved.
MAJOR ENHANCEMENT TO PLAYING EXPERIENCE
WOW! This course had a HUGE turnaround. The fairways are getting WAY better, the greens still need a LITTLE bit of work and the teeboxes are looking awesome. I am happy I came back to play here. DON'T LISTEN TO THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS!!!!!
Course
Course was in good shape, although some areas the cut seem to be a little high compared to other courses. Some greens had a lot of crab grass an bald spots were uneven plugs had been place for regrowth
Wow. I really doubt you have played this course lately. Three greens have been rebuilt and are perfect condition. The fairways are green and the tee boxes have new grass growing. Don't throw this course under the bus unless you give a fair chance. Play the course or go Jacaranda and play $ 165.00 for a round.
