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

SLOW! Red ant hills EVERYWHERE

Pace of play was a major issue! Before even teeing up we were behind 3 groups and had another behind us even though we were on time… The round took about 6 hours, 8:52 tee time and didn’t get back to the truck until almost 3!

Careful where you walk they have massive red ant hills on every fairway. Managed to only step on one and walk away with a few bites through the round.

Course is challenging but designed well just wish it had better management on the tee times and greens keepers.

Needs some water!

Not nearly as friendly this time out. Tees and fairways are very dry and sandy due to lack of water...kind of understandable since area is in a significant drought condition. This made for some unpredictable lies and rollouts. Some big sandy patches on the greens too. Hopefully course super is saving up some money from greens fees for real grass seed once they get some water. Challenging layout when conditions are better so it is likely I will be back.

Terrible and expensive

Do yourself a favor and play anywhere else. This course is in terrible shape and pace of play was dreadful (we waited 40 minutes to tee off at the first hole). From a distance the greens look pretty good but they’re all just painted green. I know because they sprayed them while we waited to hit from the fairway. We paid $60 for a course worse than Cooper Colony

Don't waste your time.

There was no grass on the tee boxes, the greens are covered in green sand to cover for missing grass. The fairways and rough are burnt.

Tolerable

Playable but a little TLC is in order watering needs to be consistent and greens need MANICURE.

Not Good!

While I enjoyed the layout and staff were friendly, the greens were completely destroyed. Literally there were multiple mini sand bunkers all over the greens making it impossible to putt. Fairways were soft which was nice, but they were nothing but fine dust. It was like hitting a bunker shot every time with sand flying in your eyes. But the worst out of it all was the pace! We had to quit after 14 holes as it had already taken 4 hrs and 25 mins to play 14. The was a marshal on the course but I’m not sure what for.
