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

Work in progress!
My first impression is when you see the driving range. It needs a lot of work. The tee box areas are in need of a little TLC. Bunkers filled with sand, nice fairways, and average greens. I golfed here many years ago when it was in its prime. The course layout is very challenging and players should play from the right tee lengths. The signature elevated par 3 hole has a spectacular waterfall in front of it which can be intimidating. Looks like the management team is working hard to get it back into its prime status. Pro shop and staff members were very courteous. I would definitely give this a consideration to play.
The old East Course is coming back
Finally, after many years of neglect, someone has recognized the "fixer-upper" opportunity.
Still a long way to go but for the first time in maybe 7 or 8 years, I can say that I would play it again.
It was always a good layout and with better conditions coming back, the "East" could be really good again. Good Luck!
Same course, New Management
I’ve always heard about the terrible conditions at Bonaventure in recent years. I played with a random who mentioned it’s much better as of recent condition wise so I had to see for myself. Decent conditions but needs some work on the tee boxes and great layout. Will be back soon!
My New "Home" Course
I hadn't played Bonaventure since 2019 and I'm SO HAPPY that I came back. The course is coming back in shape and it's so nice to see. The layout isn't easy, the fairways are well maintained, and the greens are fast. I think that if they keep maintaining the course and take care of the greens, Bonaventure CC will be a top course to play in less than a year's time. Can't wait to play my next round here!
Good experience
Played here because it was in close proximity to Vacation Village. Plan on playing it again before my vacation week is over.
Recommend it to everyone.
Terrible
First of all, there was at least three foursomes on every hole and it took us nthree hours and 26 minutes to finish the front nine. The conditions of the fairways and tee boxes was horrendous. All in all I can be assured I will never play there again. Thank goodness, the gentleman and the pro shop reimbursed us 50% of our green fees, but unfortunately it was a day of golf wasted and I still have not seen the refund on my credit card.
Course condition IMPROVED!
I played this course about two years ago and it was in terrible shape. It has come back from the dead. I would totally play this course again. The waterfall hole actually had the water running. Lol. The amenities are still minimal but at least the carts are all charged up and they even have a cart girl. They’ve also added a “food shed” after the ninth hole. See you soon.
Well worth the money.
Course doesn’t disappoint, good condition. They’ve done a great job getting the course back into playable condition. Keep it up, course still needs to be maintained to get better.
Great Golf Course
Very fun course with several areas which require a bit of finesse. Definitely will be back for another round.
Thank you
Just an incredible improvement of the greens
The tee box are almost perfect for most of them, and the greens are rolling, the sand traps are in excellent conditions with fresh sand all around.
Great time, and much better conditions. Thank you.
Challenging course
It was a very challenging course, greens were in decent shape. Fairways were also well-maintained. Be prepared for water on every hole and plenty of sand traps.
The only issue was the pace play was extremely slow. There was a group of three in front of us that obviously had never played golf before And did not understand the etiquette of letting others play through. Unfortunately, the Marshall left early so we did not finish the course. We gave up after 13 holes as it was just too painful to wait at every hole for the group in front of us.
Bonaventure Getting Better
I played this golf course many times when I lived in South Florida. It was a great course with a great layout, even to the poing of hosting major amateur tournaments. It had fallen on har times but I made a habit playing it onve on trips there. Last couple of years it had almost gotten to unplayable status, so I was pleasantly surprised to see the vast improvment. It has a ways to go bit they are moving in the right direction with greens and bunkers that are now playable
