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

I played Bonaventure quite a few times years ago and remembered it as an excellent laid out course in great condition. Unfortunately now the condition of the course is terrible. What grass there is on the fairways in burnt to a crisp and the greens are in terrible condition with large chunks of grass missing all over them. It looks like they have an issue with the greens as there are 3 being relayed when we played.

Such a shame about the condition of what could be a fantastic golf course. Only the bright side the staff were excellent

Horrible

Course is a cow pasture not worth the money.

They keep saying they're working on it but they don't even water the fairways.

Maybe someday it will be restored to its former greatness....

Good layout, sun-par conditions

3 of 18 were temp greens & not at all nice to putt on. Course had a nice layout & lots of challenges but was not well maintained overall. Shouldn’t be charging full price for this type of play.

Layout Deserves a Better Ownership

This must have been awesome in its hey day, a Joe Lee design. The waterfall par three might be one of the most iconic gimmicky holes of all time. The course has been left to the Iguanas, literally. As a PGA professional who has managed a struggling operation, I get budget constraints. What baffles me here is a golf course with such potential in this affluent community and being in such a state of decay? I can only ask why? Maintain it and they will come is my motto…and you will profit…it is the complete no-brainer of all time!

Excellent layout, bad conditions

The layout of the course is excellent , but a very poor maintenance, the greens are terrible, the tee boxes so bad, cant see the difference between the fairway and rough… this course will be amazing with a good maintenance

Sad

This course used to be one the nicest places to play in south Florida but it has fallen into such disrepair it really is sad. You can see how unique and well designed the holes are but it is in just terrible condition from tee to green.

The staff was very nice and helpful but that only goes so far when you have sand patches , dead spots and St. Augustine grass on the greens and fairways.

Don’t waste your time and miney

Course was in terrible condition. Some of the greens were unplayable. Sand traps had not been maintained, and it was very difficult understanding where the fairways started and stopped.

The layout would be nice if they maintained it or perhaps even mowed the grass.

Just a terrible experience.
