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 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.

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.

Bonaventure Golf Course

It’s a great golf course and it has come along way from the way it was last year. The employees are very nice and always great to joke with. This is one of my go to golf courses.

Beautiful place but needs better maintenance

I noticed that the golf course lacks rangers and requires better maintenance. Despite that, it is a beautiful place with an amiable staff. With some care, this place could be exceptional.

Rejuvenation

Course has been reborn from last time we played.

Fairways and greens very good. Tee boxes need some work. Will play a few more times over the summer..

Would recommend to everyone.

Pleasantly surprised

I have played this course for the last 40 years. What once was a beautiful, fun course to play had turned into a course that was not taken care of, or management changed for the worse. Fairways a green in horrible shape and the clubhouse stripped of pretty much everything.

However, this time around it was great to see the course back to the championship level it once was. Green, trimmed and well cared for - definitely back in my list to play in a regular basis.

Better than expected

Greens were in good condition, which is shocking compared to how it looked one year ago. They rolled at a decent pace and rolled true except two that were slightly bumpy. Bunkers were in decent shape. Fairways and teeboxes good enough. Great course layout. Nice spot to grab snacks at the turn. Worth playing if you're in the Broward area.

The progress continues

This course has undergone a ttemendous improvment v several years ago, The greens have come back. The bunkers have been redone and are groomed (could maybe use a bit more sand), the fairways are good. Only a few tees areas remain to be improved.

Pleasantly surprised

The course was much better than some other reviewers indicated. The greens were in good shape. The fairways were in good condition. Only a couple of tee boxes were spotty.
