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

The fairways and greens were in poor condition for the most part. Both had patches with no grass and some kind of black dirt instead. The tee box grass was brown and long on most of the boxes.

Overgrown cow pasture

Insane what they are charging for this course for the condition it is and it is a slap in the face to call this a championship style golf course best case scenario this is a four out of 10…..greens awful, Tee boxes bare and fairway is full of weeds

Poor Conditions

We played as a group of 4 the day before my wedding. Considering the area you would think this was going to be a nice course but we were horribly wrong. The tee boxes were overgrown, fairways were either over grown or completely dead/mud, and the greens were white and very bumpy. Course needs a lot of maintenance work. If it was up to me I’d close the course for a week and invest in some extreme makeovers. Then I’d consider going back.

Poor Course Conditions - Almost Unplayable

Had not played the course for several years and decided to give it a try again. Absolutely not worth $65. At most this is a $35 course and that may be somewhat generous. The tee boxes weren’t too bad but most fairways had multiple large bald spots so you were hitting out of the dirt from the middle of the fairway. Most greens were in terrible condition and one was completely unplayable. 20 years ago this was a premium course in western Broward county but cannot currently recommend this course.

Needs lots of work

My first time playing this course. I was very excited looked great online. Unfortunately I was very disappointed. The only thing that was nice was the tee boxes. Fairways are in terrible shape and the greens are even worse. For the amount they charge I was expecting a high quality course. Absolutely trash. Definitely not playing here again until they fix their fairways and greens.

Great course and views

The course was great!. It IS the dead of summer so there were some greens with sand upon them as they repair. The snack shack was open as we went to tee off at 10am however it was closed at the turn and it was about 12 noon. We would have loved to grab a bite.

Course needs work

This course is need of some upkeep. Greens and fairways are in rough shape. Understandably the busy season just ended but other courses have begun their upgrades and repairs. No food at the turn and limited liquor selection as well. Felt it used to be much better about a year ago.
