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

Great course and conditions

This course has improved greatly over the years. Greens and fairways were in amazing condition.

Played here 3yrs ago and couldn’t putt on the greens they were so bad.

The greens yesterday were night and day. Fast full and very clean. And no damage what so ever

Very impressed with the money put into the course and will be back during my trip to play again.

Ruff too tuff

The greens and fairways were in excellent shape. Once off the fairwas i was too difficult to mke clean contact as the balls lay too deep in the grass to get under the ball cleanly losing distance repeatedly. Too many water holes to go around to stay on the fairway. All three of us lost a numbe of balls due to the layout and water everywhere.

Need better rangers

The course was great the staff was friendly. I understand it was a holiday weekend and expected slow play, but it was beyond slow. It was so bad we left after 14 holes. Either get the ranger to enforce steady play or don't book folks so close together.

Quit over booking

They won’t control pace of play, every round has taken nearly six hours. No one was at the turn snack shack for more than an hour. Consistently an issue out here. Horrible experience and management

Good golf course

The course was in its best condition in years. The greens were very good, and the fairways were very good. The rough was tall and mostly weeds and difficult to find the golf ball.

Improved a lot

The course have improved greatly from a few months ago. It's playable now, a few wet spots which was strange since it hasn't been raining a lot. Greens were on the slow side, but it's playable and I will be back. Nice to see the improvements because it's such a challenging and fun layout.

Much improved

This course has been experiencing some tough years, but they have made some much-needed improvement and are continuing to do more. Bunkers or re-sanded with fresh sand. Tea boxes are nice. Fairways are clean. Only minor drawback is some of the green still need a little bit of work, but overall very good value for the money and the layout is a little more challenging than most. Will definitely be coming back.

Much improved

You can see the work that has been put into this golf course. If it continues, they can restore it to what it once was.

I will be back.
