About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 70
Length 6128 yards
Slope 127
Rating 70.1

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

What a difference a year makes

Been about a year since I played this course last. Maybe it was the time of year coupled with not playing well but course did not leave a good impression for me. Decided to take a chance again a year later and course was in much better shape than expected greens were great and it always helps when you play well.

The staff is great. The course needs work and the clubhouse needs an overhaul.

Fun course but POP was terrible.

Fun challenging course to play at. The 3rd hole par 3 over the waterfall was spectacular. Lots of hazards to play around and a challenge to anyone at any level. Pace of play, however, very slow. I was stuck behind an elderly couple that were nice enough to let me play through after the second hole. After that, I was stuck behind a foursome that looked like they had an instructor playing with them. Teaching them how to swing and putt. They had no regard to anyone behind them. I was only able to play 15 holes in about 3 1/2 hours. Would love to go back if groups are a little quicker.

Very slow pace

Very slow pace of play (6 hour round) no ranger controlling it. Its a a shame because this course is a lot of fun to play and has improved significantly

Also no cart beverage service and no range balls available, feel they might have been significantly understaffed for a Saturday. Wish this get to management and hopefully i can give it another shot in a couple of weeks

Great Course

Played Twilight ln a Friday, was able to get in 15 holes in 3 Hours for 45$. Staff were incredibly friendly and nice. Pace of play was a little slower than I would have preferred but not bad for a twilight round. Greens were in great condition as well as the fairways, tee boxes could have used a little bit of love but more than acceptable for the price of the course. Great layout, lots of water and hole design that require shot shaping. Course was difficult but fair. Will definitely play again.

Course not in good conditions and pace of play is atrocious

These 4 star reviews don’t know where they come from because the course is pretty bad shape with tee box’s being mud and the pace of play taking 5 hours per round
