About
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

Overpriced & lied to in the description
Want to start off with the positive, the staff was very polite and friendly but that might be the only positive...$70 to play this track is overpriced for sure! Description of the course talks about the "waterfall hole" there was no water for the waterfall lol, the tee box on that hole is a driving range mat. Description says carts with gps, there were no carts with gps! My buddy was told at the turn they would give the food he wanted to the cart girl & she would bring the food he wanted to him, when we seen her she wasnt even told or givin such food. (She was great all day and had a great personality). Fairsways either were overgrown with patches of grass in the middle of fairways so it was like rough and the rough was overgrown to the point where you couldnt find your ball, wont be back
Best when it hasn’t rained
First time playing this course. The staff was very friendly. There was even a cart girl on a Tuesday. She was fantastic and had.l a great selection of drinks. The front 9 floods, it had been raining heavily all weekend and with this course being close to the Everglades there’s not much drainage. Keep that in mind if it’s rained recently. It was muddy and very wet. Back 9 was a bit better as it had higher elevation. The layout is fun and had some challenging hole. Overall value for money was great I got a hot deal for 35$ at 10am
Improving course condition with slow greens
The overall course conditions are improving. However, the greens are too slow for me. If they make the greens faster, I would be a frequent player here due to the course's good layouts.
Terrible pace of play
5.5 hour rounds because the ranger is too lazy to do his job. Course is in bad shape.. there are many more courses in the area that offer better value. Avoid this course if you have any other options
Great course, for $30
Staff was extremely friendly, from the front desk check-in to the cart girl. Due to some rain earlier in the day there was some muddy locations, and the bunkers were pretty rough. However the fairways/greens for the most part are very playable and they are making improvements on some tee boxes. I would give Bonaventure a 3.75/5 Stars due to tough patches of grass and dirt throughout some holes but I will definitely play again for $30 with the hot deal on GN.
Great and Beautiful Course
This course has come a long way. They have fixed just about every hole. It is absolutely beautiful. The third hole is a Par 3, where you have to go over a waterfall. Every hole has water on it. It is a challenging course, but it is a lot of fun. If you haven't played here yet, you should book a tee time. You won't regret it.
Tee Boxes Need Work
Overall the course is in much better shape than last year. The greens are best they have been in 2-3years same for fairways.
Just need to get those tee boxes up to par with rest of place.
The beer girls is back out there plus 9th hole turn cafe is great too.
Place is great if those sand traps at tee boxes could get fixed it would be awesome
Regression
I played this course for years. It was in terrible condition until it was sold to new owners. They did a very good job bringing it back to playable condition, not great but very playable. But the last time I played 7/6/24, I was disappointed by the lack of maintenance. Rough was full of tall weeds, fairway not cut well and greens were very slow. I know it's summer and they don't get as many players due to the heat and rain (and loss of snowbirds) but letting the course deteriorate is a bad idea. The track is good, the price is good, just need to maintain a bit more.
Course is better maintained
The golf course is in much better shape. The design was always nice and now greens are well maintained. They deserve a chance
Under repair
A week ago the course was in the best shape I had seen in over 10 years. Now they have sprayed every fairway - all brown and hard to play.
Needs just a bit more
I haven't played this course in over 10 years because of the unbelievably bad condition it was in. Read the good reviews online and decided to give it a try. This course needs at least one more good summer to be good. Fairways are being worked on. Looks like they are killing off the grass for replacement. Greens roll good and seem to be well maintained but are terribly slow.
