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

Vacation golf

Excellent layout with lots of water and lots of character. Greens were in very good shape and putted very well. Tee boxes and fairways were thin and rough and need a lot of work. Same with roughs. Course was very busy and had to wait half hour for a cart. No balls for practice range. Cart girl drove right in front of golfer getting g ready to hit several times. Price was good and greens good but course needs a lot of work.

First Time Playing

Slow play, ran out of carts.

The course was over crowded. It took 5 hours to play. They ran out of carts so we started later than our tee time. Conditions weren’t bad. Fairways and greens are overseeded, so there is a big difference between those and the rest of the playing area. Greens are very small. Overall, a bit overpriced for how slow it played and not being in great condition.

too slow, greens very small

first time out here, confusion on first tee, another group said they had same tee time as us, no starter there, so we went ahead of them. Group in front of us had 3 teenagers and dad, all trying to play from blue tees but obvious beginners at best, flubbing shot after shot, saw them lose at least 30 to 40 balls. Lots of water and was windy so challenging, did not expect tiny greens, missed couple times by few yards only to find ball off green on hardpan lie or stoney bunker. No marshalls out. There are better shape courses for same price out there, so will not be coming back. Finished in 4h:45 time, waited on every teebox, and we were 4 players. Have nice picture from tee box on 3rd hole with nice waterfall in background up by front of green. was one memorable hole.

Needs some TLC

Was first golfer out so pace of play hard to say. The course needs some TLC. The greens weren’t awful (I’ve seen worse) the sand traps were raked and had fresh sand in them but the edges were shot. The fairways are beat. Tee boxes weren’t best weren’t the worst I’ve played either. Pro shop is weak. In a pinch it’s a playable course. Other places available at same price

Slow Play Times

It is a nice course however it has slow play times in the morning due to overbooking and 6 person play times. Best to play in the afternoon if you want to get through the 18 holes at a reasonable pace.

Course condition is much better!

Good layout with plenty of water. The course provides plenty of challenges to weekend golfers.

The conditions of the course improve a lot. It would be much better if they made the greens smoother and mowed the grass shorter to make them roll faster. Overall, it's a very playable course.

Challenging course in good shape. Greens rolling true. Range is basically a lake so no way to dial in distances but good value overall.

Patient required

After not playing the course for more than 20 years, we began playing it about a month ago. It is in tremendous shape and it is a challenging test of Golf. My only availability is a Saturday afternoon, and even though it is high season here in South Florida for golf, the course does not have a ranger on it. Monitoring pace of play teeing off at 1:07 one would not think they would have trouble finishing their round but we literally finished in the dark at 6:30. Three groups on every hole people that are beginning golfers playing a difficult course and then there’s the etiquette of people that are not from South Florida that just do whatever they want not keeping in mind that there are people behind them. It is a great value for the money, but they need to do a better job of monitoring the pace of play out on the course it was a little frustrating.

Course has great layout!

If it wasn’t for the extremely slow pace of play, it would be a great course to play frequently. Staff is friendly, course has great layout and greens, tees and fairways are in good condition.
